Run in Such a Way…

Memorizing Scripture: I know for a FACT it will change my life.  Seriously.  Hiding it in my heart.  Allowing it to change me from the inside out.  Having it available when I need it most.  It is something I have done in the past, but never done consistently. This year will be different, and I’d …

We all know successful people.  And we all know, at least in our heads, that success doesn’t bring contentment, fulfillment or joy.  Though we know it, it isn’t often we hear a wildly successful person admit it out loud.  Watch this interview with Tom Brady of the New England Patriots…a man who certainly "has it …

I posted a song by Matthew West a few posts ago.  Here is another one…very, very powerful!   But let me say this, dear brothers and sisters: The time that remains is very short. Those who weep or who rejoice or who buy things should not be absorbed by their weeping or their joy or …

We all come upon situations where someone is causing pain to themselves, someone else or God Himself.  It is sometimes VERY hard to know what our role should be.  When we should openly oppose them and when it is time to forgive and comfort them?  This is the issue Paul had with someone in the …

Here is a GREAT way to get a little exercise, both physically and spiritually.  Take a prayer walk.  You could walk around your place of employment (when you are off the clock, obviously), your home, where you go to school, your neighborhood, your church, the mall, etc. Thank God for the people represented there.  Ask …

Outflow’s eighth reading includes a reference to 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.  These are the famous verses that are so often read at weddings.  In fact, they are so familiar, I would suspect that we sometimes don’t really let them impact us.  That is tragic, because they are an amazing and challenging definition of love.  They tell …

In Matthew 11:28, Jesus said we could come to Him and He would give us rest from our burdens.  I’ve heard quite a few thoughts on what sort of burden He was referring to and what kind of rest He offers.  Tozer gives a pretty typical one in this chapter of The Pursuit of God: …

D-Groups are a place where any question can be asked.  In fact, they are a place where every question should be asked.  D-Groups are intended to be a place where you are expected to ask the questions no one else will.  They are also a place where you are expected to answer those same questions.  …

Ever feel all alone?  Ever get so lost in your bitterness that you end up thinking or acting just plain stupid?  Ever feel like everyone and everything is against you? Me too.  But as I wallowed around in self-pity and bitterness the other day, God reminded me of Psalm 73…one of my favorite Psalms. Then …

I just finished reading Jack’s Life, a biography of C.S. Lewis written by his stepson Douglas Gresham.  It is a short book, but one packed full of glimpses into the man who brought us The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Mere Christianity, The Four Loves and so many other great books. If you like …
