This morning, me and two of my boys are watching The Empire Strikes Back…

I happened to walk back into the room right as Luke was in the swamp with Yoda. Yoda was moving the x-wing fighter out of the swamp and onto land. After this, Luke looks at Yoda and, surprised that a small creature could move a giant spaceship, says, “I don’t believe it!!” To which Yoda responds, “That is why you fail…”

How many times do we as Christians fail for the same reason? Read the rest of this entry »

Christian Wisdom From Yoda…

This morning I had the joy of spending some time in God’s Word and was struck by a passage in Psalm 12…

And the words of the Lord are flawless,
like silver purified in a crucible,
like gold refined seven times. You, Lord, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us forever from the wicked, who freely strut about
when what is vile is honored by the human race. (Psalm 12:6-8 NIV)

Last week, I had the opportunity to go an orchestra concert for my eldest boy. It was at that concert that I realized something that may seem fairly obvious but still was impactful. As I listened to the various musical pieces, I thought of how that represents life quite well.

Each of the different instruments have their part to play and sometimes it is beautiful and some times it seems like just a series of notes. But when it all comes together and everyone is playing it is an amazing sound…. Read the rest of this entry »

I am thankful to God that I have the opportunity to be attending the Global Leadership Summit from the Willow Creek Association via satellite. After day 1, I feel like I was trying to drink water from a fire hose.

There was so much good information that I am still processing it all but here are some of the cool “sound bites” from some of the sessions yesterday. Enjoy and let God use them how He may in your life…

I am trying something new today and hopefully it will be something that will help me blog more consistently. Along with my Revelation thoughts about our world, I am going to start posting what I am calling my “God Inspired Thoughts” Some days there may be many and other days none. I will leave that up to Him. Enjoy today’s first one (they will be shorter in size) – there may be a few today, cause I am taking time to rest in his presence and seek His will…

Enjoy…

In a world that is falling down around us God calls us to a place of peace with Him. A place of quiet rest where we can clearly hear from him and know his loving guidance. Where we can trust in the grace, mercy, and love He provides. Our hope is in the Lord. A transcendent God who loves his creation and will do anything to redeem and restore it.

God Inspired Thoughts…Peace

I have lots of things going through my mind this evening and all of them related to Bible prophecy and the world we live in today. We all heard about Harold Camping and his prediction of the rapture and how that went. Well, I am not going to be predicting any rapture dates but I do feel that something significant will happen between June 1 and June 15…

Let me explain a bit about my journey first. Read the rest of this entry »
