I'm Back...

Just a quick note to say, "I'm back". I will be attempting to post multiple times per week. God had led me on a great journey through His Word and He has taught me so much in the last three months or so.

Keep it up Huckabee!!!

Governor Huckabee took the conservative south on Super Tuesday. Let's keep up the support.

Congratulations Governor Huckabee. Keep it going.

Let's free our Pastors

"In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word."

This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith."

Acts 6:1-7 (NIV)


There are some incredible things we see in these verses. I want to focus on just one. "...[we will] give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word". There is so much power in this verse. This was the Apostles making this statement. The leaders of the early church. In our churches today, the leaders are usually pastors. I think this verse is freeing to pastors. Could you imagine how dynamic our churches would be if pastors really freed themselves from all their busyness and focused solely on prayer and the word of God?

God has set this up in His word. Pastors spend hours trying to figure out what they should be doing as church leaders. They read books by men on church leadership many of which may or may not have been successful themselves. God's word has the answers they are looking for.

If pastors found folks in their churches to handle the busy stuff of church and they focused on prayer and the word, we would have dynamic churches. Churches preaching and teaching the entire word of God. Lives would be changed because pastors would be challenging people into change by the convicting power of the word of God. The Growth Movement would be made of real growth of people from the inside out and not just referring to putting bottoms in the pews. Imaging pastors freed to become prayer warriors. Praying for their congregations, their families, their staffs, and praying for real change to come, a revival.

I get excited when I think of this. I have discussed this with church leaders who agree with me. Now our job is to pitch in and help our pastors get to this point. Let's think of ways to take the load off our pastors so they can focus on "prayer and the ministry of the word".

A truth about Mormonism

Let's let the Mormons answer this question. Do Mormons believe Jesus and Satan are brothers?

Mormon Doctrine page 163 states, "Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both".

Never Forget

Pure Wisdom

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Congrats Huckabee

Congrats to the Huckabee camp. Keep up the great work.
