His Perfect Way
In the message “A Living Sanctuary” we considered our call to praise and worship ALWAYS, and that this can only occur as we trust God with all our heart and release control into His hands. We seem to often come back to this theme. Perhaps this is because releasing control is one of our major […]

8/19/09, Wed: After spending two days in Louisiana at Barksdale AFB and two days in Benton, just west of Little Rock, Arkansas, we finally got to Memphis, TN on Monday afternoon.

A Living Sanctuary
Our Heavenly Father desires our life to be FILLED with praise and worship. When we gather together with other believers for church services, we generally begin with songs of praise. We praise God for His love and faithfulness, and for the gift of His Son. We worship Him for His awesome majesty as we prepare […]
Clear Line of Communication
Communication is a key part of any relationship. Without proper communication, a relationship will slowly drift apart and feel isolated.

When faced with […]

A Life of Radical Faith
In the message “Never Conform” we considered our call to not be squeezed into the mold of the world; “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). Answering this call begins by honestly examining the question of what it means to […]

Sharing Life
The following message was written in August 2005 after returning from a visit to Africa. It’s a good reminder of the need for relational ministry, especially as our family is preparing to travel on a type of missionary journey within our own country.***** My daughter and I returned home from Kenya late Saturday night. During […]
