Can you see what God is doing?
Posted: May 24, 2009 in Calling, Confidence, Faith, Fear, Focus, Grace, Holy Spirit, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Growth, Trusting God, VisionHave you ever ridden the log ride at Six Flags or at some other park? Lately my life has seemed much like I am riding a log ride (just not as fun). My life is in motion bumping up against the parameters (or shall I say the principles) of life. All the while, I know there is a destination [...]
God’s call…
Posted: February 2, 2009 in Calling, Faith, Obedience, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual GrowthThese words by Oswald Chambers always seem to stir my mind and my heart. Everyone is not called to preach. But we are all “called” to serve the Lord with the gifts that we have been given. Once someone begins to hear that call, a suffering worthy of the name of Christ is produced. Suddenly, [...]
Did you know that you can’t have an encounter with God and walk away the same? When you have an encounter with God your life is going to change. Moses spent 40 days on the mountain with God his face radiated with the glory of God. When you spend time with the LORD people are going to know it. [...]

A sad face is good for the heart
Posted: November 29, 2008 in Bible Reading, Bible Study, Christian Music, Faith, Oswald Chambers, Prayer, Spiritual Gifts, Spiritual Growth, The Bible, Trusting GodI received a comment from my “Are you hungry?” post. Instead of posting a lengthy comment there I have decided to write one here. The question posted was, “Is it possible to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be sad at the same time?” There were several thoughts that came to mind as I read [...]
It’s the day after Thanksgiving… Did you get enough to eat yesterday? I’m now extremely full after the 3 rounds of leftovers I had tonight for dinner! I am more stuffed than the turkey was yesterday! But that’s not quite the kind of hunger I am talking about. Are you hungry for more of God? [...]
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Posted: November 27, 2008 in Faith, Oswald Chambers, Spiritual Growth, U2I’ll never forget when Joshua Tree by U2 was released (1987). I was in Cleveland, TN at Lee College. I headed over to the mall after classes and purchased the cassette. While driving back to campus I heard this song and was blown away. “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” is a powerful song.
