We Have a Shepherd

One word….CALLING.  The meaning of it.  The search for it.  LIVING in it.  Everytime I talk about this or hear someone talking about it, I get giddy…..like a kid on Christmas morning.  NOTHING in this world excites me more than seeing someone that is living out the call God has placed on their life.   It [...]

Make Us Like You

The love of God. I don’t know a deeper more moving subject than this. It’s a concept I learn more about daily, and yet still feel as though I haven’t scratched even the surface of it’s meaning. Do you ever wonder what this world would be like if Christians, God’s own children, truly grasped His [...]

If You Are Reading These Words

If you are reading these words then I believe that God has brought you here for a reason. You see, I have come to this place in my life where the idea of coincidence or chance no longer exists. I know that the creator of all things is at all times and in all ways [...]

The Pilgrim Uprising

Today I started thinking about why the Pilgrims came to America? Being Thanksgiving and all I figured this was a pretty good question. In 1621, a group of revolutionaries called Pilgrims felt the need to break free from the religious oppression coming from the church of England. They felt the need to sail thousands of [...]

Join Us Will You?

How many times a day does God enter your mind? I am asking myself this question this morning. It seems to me that the more I allow thoughts of my Savior to enter my mind the more I can hear His voice speaking to me telling me the things I need to hear. That voice, [...]

Fan the Flame

I love reading about the life of Paul. Besides his amazing life-changing testimony and giving us 2/3 of the New Testament, he was an amazing leader of leaders. That is, he was supernaturally gifted in pulling out someone else’s potential to be a leader. Paul saw tremendous potential in Timothy. He knew that Timothy had [...]

“In Christ”

Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong. Outside of Christ, I cannot; in Christ, I am more than able. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; [...]

Morning thoughts @joshuaallenj

This morning the Lord pressed it on mr to read in Luke 10 about the 70 he sent forth. I learned alot about his vision and direction for where my life is headed next; but I also got some thoughts I want to share. After the disciples come back they rejoice at the power they [...]

Morning manna @joshuaallenj

In Matthew 5 Jesus gives his Sermon on the Mount abd lays out the beatitudes. In vs. 13 he tells his disciples they are the salt of the earth.. Not the salt of your hometown, Israel, Judea, Idumea, Assyria or even the middle east; the salt of the world. When we, as disciples of Christ, [...]

Revelation

Revelation simply that something that was previously hidden has been revealed. Colossians 2:2-3 let’s us know these all come from God through his Son Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit. Good guy to know . Paul describes this wisdom as treasure and the more I walk with Jesus the more I understand that these are [...]
