MISSIONS - WEEK 2 - ME, A MISSIONARY?
If we’re honest, most of us probably don’t think of ourselves as missionaries. We tend to think that term is reserved for those like the ones we’ve been hearing from in our GO Moments this month - usually people involved in reaching past their ...

EXODUS WEEK 13 - AND ALL GOD'S PEOPLE SAID "AMEN"
One of the saddest realities about our world today, I believe, is the loss of integrity. We live in a society where someone’s word is no longer their bond. Years ago - and actually as is the case today in this area of the State, I have found - ...

EXODUS WEEK 8 - LEARN TO LISTEN; LISTEN TO LEARN
How good are you at receiving and following advice? If you're like me, it’s a struggle at times for sure. I'm amazed at the times my stupid pride has kicked in and I know what I want and I know how it should be done. And there have been too man...

EXODUS WEEK 3 - GOD'S PLAN, GOD'S POWER
Alright, now as Chapter 3 begins, Moses is living his new life in Midian, married, caring for his father-in-law's flock of sheep, and safely out of the reach of Pharaoh. He is not, however, safely out of the reach of God. When the king of Egypt...

EXODUS - WEEK 02 - AND HE HEARD MY CRY
My wife, Jenny, has certain shows she absolutely loves to watch. And now that we got rid of our satellite service and are just doing streaming and what we get from our external antenna, she can watch these things whenever she likes. Most often ...

THE TREASURE PRINCIPLE: Week 3 THE OBJECTIVE 1 Chronicles 29:9-14
You may have observed in the time you have known me that I don't have a great sense of balance. Therefore when I navigate through uneven terrain, I must be very careful. Balance is one of those things that is necessary when you have to go...

STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 17 - JAMES 4:13-17 - The Action of Humility, Pt. 4 Good Lord Willin' and the Crick Don't Rise
There have been times, I must admit, and I would imagine so must you, when poor planning has brought about some serious problems in my life. And there have been times when I could have sworn that I DID plan things — it was just a lousy plan. I ...

STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 16 - JAMES 4:11-12 - The Action of Humility, Pt. 3 - If You Can't Say Somethin' Nice…
This last week in our Staff Meeting, I said some things out loud. And they weren't horribly critical. I think that they were just funny observations (at least in MY mind). And the staff basically told me how awkward it was to hear them. I told ...

STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 14 - JAMES 4:8 - The Action of Humility, Pt. 1 - Wash Your Hands
Draw near to God. And guess what? He will draw near to you. That's where we ended last week, if you'll recall. What this means is that some of us have to quit thinking that God is so far away, playing some sort of cosmic hide-and-seek game with...

STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 13 - JAMES 4:1-8a Pt. 2 - The Attitude of Humility
Who needs grace today? Who really wants grace? Grace awaits - but notice to whom God gives grace… to the deserving? to the famous? No. It's very likely that those people miss the fact that they have NEED of grace. After all, why receive grace i...

STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 12 - THE CAUSE OF CONFLICT JAMES 4:1-8a
I want you to think back on a recent argument or conflict you had with someone. Could be your spouse, parents, kid, or somebody at work. What was the argument over? What was it about? Money, chores, politics, or something else. Regardless of th...

STUDY IN THE BOOK OF JAMES WEEK 11 - WISDOM JAMES 3:13-18
If you had just ONE wish, what would it be? Obviously this scenario is one that reveals what is at your core. If it's to win the lottery, I suppose people could conclude that financial security is most important to you. If it's to live to...
