Thank God I washed in that window. Even then, sometimes I feel like I'm on the wrong side of that window. My recent post Little things: being God’s hands and feet

Grace Is For Sinners : abandon your slave shack

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:07:53 +0000

Serena, I want to reply to so much in this post but I don't want to write a comment as long as the post! This is SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. It's like an all you can eat spiritual meat buffet. "You’re obeying sin when you’re living in fear of it." I LOVE this. So often we think of obeying sin when we commit the act but dwelling on the idea of sin is sin in itself. We're allowing it to grow and fester within us taking our focus off the God of grace. My recent post Little things: Kind deeds

Well said, Serena. I know I'm being replanted and removed and all the other re- words. ;) My recent post Giving control of your career to God

Grace Is For Sinners : it's all prayer

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:42:44 +0000

Right on! My pastor made an interesting comment this weekend about prayer. He said that prayer is pure sacrifice on our part because our flesh gets nothing from our stopping everything else to pray. My recent post Giving control of your family to God

Relevant Brokenness : Drink First, Then Eat

Drinking water has made a big difference in my life. I can tell when I haven't had enough water because it directly impacts my mood and my energy levels.

What a wonderful perspective on Christmas. A 365 day focus on Christ is essential. :)

Ron Edmondson : How to Increase Church Staff Without Spending a Dime

Wed, 8 Jun 2011 14:37:24 +0000

Good stuff Ron. I left a church once because the pastor and his staff wouldn't delegate anything to anyone. If you came to them with an idea for a new ministry, they'd dismiss you and then a few months later they would suddenly be leading a ministry in the same way. Then they would complain that no one was volunteering at the events they would set up and how it was "our obligation as a church member" to do what they told us to do. When it was credit time, the lead pastor was always right out front to talk to a TV camera or a reporter. Always thanked his staff who usually weren't the ones doing the work. The churches I've worked hardest in as I've moved around the country are the ones where the pastors didn't care who got the credit as long as the Kingdom was advanced. Eventually those churches stopped being about anyone getting credit and all about everyone serving Christ with their gifts in whatever way was needed at the time.

"I know all that, but still...I see everyone around me being blessed, having prayers answered, etc. - even those who don't follow the Lord, those who aren't His children. " I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way most of the time. In fact, I feel that way right now. You're not whining. Just being real. Sometimes following Christ sucks. We were never promised hearts and flowers.

Rarely do I read a blog and then sit back and stare at the screen slack-jawed at the power of it. This was one of those blogs.

I know who I want to be. I just don't know how to get there. So I guess I need to be asking how I get there.

Ron Edmondson : Helping Tornado Victims in Alabama

Mon, 2 May 2011 00:14:39 +0000

Thank you for doing this, Ron. I was down there the last two days with Crosspoint Nashville in Cullman, Alabama. Parts of town look like a war zone. There's more need than there are people to help right now. I posted some pictures on my jcwert.com website and the pictures are just a small part of what I saw down there.
