The Journey: To What Is 3-11-2020
"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear the sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So, it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:8 I've written before on The Journey how God first invaded my life when I was a youth. I told briefly how he stormed the beaches of my life before I knew Him and took me by surprise. What God did back then was to plant the seeds of faith in me. The soil He pressed those seeds into must have needed tending and preparation though,
The Journey: When the Road is Long 3-2-2020
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10 When God is ready, He rushes in or simply finishes what He started in you some time earlier. In God's time He reveals Himself and sets you free. If you learn what it means to be set free, you learn to walk with Him and pray. Your praying means the time will come as you walk with God when you will not see Him move and hear only the
The Journey: Is Where You Will Find Assurance 2-24-2020
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:13 "God will never ask you to go through something he hasn't already prepared you for," is a stumbling block idea the enemy throws at believers in different ways. You may have heard it said differently but it remains the same lie wherever he puts it.
The Journey: Is An Invitation 2-18-2020
"And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people." Acts 8:9 On a previous Journey we saw that after God saves, He sends us. To review: He grabs us by the collar and pulls us back from the edge of the abyss. Then He points us in the right direction and says, "Go!" If we humble ourselves and do as He says, it works and the adventure begins.
The Journey: Answers a Question 2-10-2020
"He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet, be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm." Mark 4:39 The Journey is a place to discover how your life has been invaded by the One True Loving God. The Journey is a closer walk with Jesus Christ. The Journey is where you can walk with others who seek a closer walk
The Journey: God Is In The Details 2-3-2020
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made: without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3 Today on the Journey we see that God is in the details. Everyone can see Him there. When God invades your life, eyes are opened wide and you see there is but One Way to the Father.
The Journey: Will Make You Brothers 1-27-2020
When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. John 6:5-6 Today on the Journey we will see that when the Lord Jesus invades our lives he is there to take over, wear us down, and change our point of view. He wants everything and in return will make us even more. He's the
The Journey: Whatever It Takes 1-20-2020
"When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven." Mark 2:5 Today on the miraculous Journey, Mark shows us that Jesus invades the lives of people who want everything to remain the same. Christ wants us to know that in the act of saving us he knows he will shake things up. He plans to. Which may explain why the Lord loves a maverick. His Spirit is always with anyone willing to
The Journey: Deep Water 1-13-2020
"Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything but because you say so, I will let down the nets." Luke 5:5 Luke's description of how Jesus called the first disciples has always struck me as simple and "down to earth." Chapter five in Luke's gospel is where we see Jesus skillfully changing men's lives in a way that builds
The Journey: A Day's Work 1-6-2020
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31 A man standing on the street corner in Akron Ohio seemed dangerously close to a life changing decision. "After all these years is this really all I have left? Just dressing the part and going through the motions until I retire." It can come to that you know. Feeling like just another cog in the wheel can send you off in the wrong
The Journey: God Takes Point 12-23-2019
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 There is just this one Journey in life that you will never travel alone. As Journeymen we are called to travel together of course, bringing our friends and brothers along. Something I find useful to remember is that
