I’ve been really drawn lately to the song “This is How I Fight My Battles”. I’ve been listening to Michael W. Smith‘s video over and over again (link below). It reminds me of my recent blog post about worship being a weapon in our spiritual battles. I think worship is key in altering the spiritual … Continue reading Fighting Battles… Worship

So, I have this personal assistant I carry with me all the time… I have decided to use my iPhone to remind me of some important things... Things I want to walk in... Things I want to make priorities.... On my own, I can’t say that I have kept these things as high on the … Continue reading iPhone and Spiritual Encouragement

Is it possible that God may be up to more than is currently included in my spiritual paradigm? Am I willing to expand my focus to fully get in on what He is doing? __________ What if “the way we’ve always done it” represents an old wine skin that can’t contain new wine... We need … Continue reading If I Tweeted…

Over the past few years it seems to be more common for me to hear professing Christians use profane language. “Grace”, I suppose. Matthew 12:34 makes it clear... "the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart". Therefore, if you have profane words in your mouth, profane things are in your heart. What does a … Continue reading A Profane Heart?

There seems to be a big difference between believing that God “can” do something; and, “expecting” that He will. If I believe God “can” do a particular thing... but, in reality I don’t “expect” that He will, does that qualify as a sound position of faith? Likely not. In Matthew 9:29 the Passion Translation has … Continue reading Expectations

Wanting to be a good receiver of what He has for me. I don't want mere religious routine, I want to pursue … Continue reading Sunday Goals

When Hope seems to be in short supply and I allow myself to stop focusing on heavenly possibilities, and I begin to focus on earthly limitations. Stress and anxiety increase. When times like this hit me and I begin to worry over details… I’m growing to believe that My response should center around worship and … Continue reading Worship is a Weapon

I can't say that I have ever considered this before... But today I have been thinking that a birthday should be a time when we think about and exercise a measure of gratefulness for the idea that God had that resulted in our birth. It was all His idea... it was all His doing... It … Continue reading Birthday Reflections

It occurs to me... that I need to be an effective trajectory manager. What sort of trajectory are you on? Trajectory is the path followed by an object flying, or moving under the action of given forces. One aspect of a bullets performance is a description of its expected trajectory given certain circumstances. In other … Continue reading Managing Life’s Trajectory

I wish I had understood this better year’s ago. Spiritual maturity is not wrapped up in what we know… It's becoming more completely connected with who we ARE in Christ, and walking in intimacy with the Creator of Heaven and earth. Connecting more with who we are in Christ causes an increased awareness of the … Continue reading Spiritual Maturity
