To The Ends….A Confession

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

It seems like such a simple concept, which I guess it really is.  We have power, given to us by the Holy Spirit (so it is nothing to do with us), and we are to use that power to go tell people about Jesus.  The simple fact is, I don’t.  Even when I go on trips to tell people about Jesus, I don’t tell people about Jesus.  I freeze up with the uncomfortableness.  Everyday I go home and sleep on my nice bed, get all the snacks I want, and be comfortable in the air conditioning.  I guess it is easy to fall into the rut of the familiar.  There in lies the problem, I am born again, I have trusted in Jesus for salvation, but I don’t want to tell people, whats the deal?  God has been dealing with me about rededicating my life to Him, but I just don’t want it to be lip service.  I want it to be a genuine rededication to Jesus.  I want my life to used for His glory alone.  For you alone King Jesus.

THE TRIUNE

Nuff Said.

To The Ends

We say that with such fervor and belief, but do we really mean it.  Will we really go to the ends of the earth for Jesus?  Will we really do whatever is necessary to to push the gospel forward?  It is a tough question for me to think about, but we have to wonder if we really would go to the ends of the earth.

How Sweet It Is

Sidney Crosby (Here with the Cup), and the Pittsburgh Penguins wrapped up their first Stanley Cup Championship since ‘92 with a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings in game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals.  Sidney Crosby is the youngest captain to ever win the Stanley Cup.  What a story this is.  Four year ago the Penguins were on the edge of collapse, in the basement of the NHL.  Then came Sydney Crosby and a great group of support players that now have the Penguins at the top of the hockey world.  This is a great story, and the best thing that could have happened to the NHL.  The Stanley Cup Finals going to seven games, and the new “face” of the NHL winning the Cup.  Go PENS!!

Comfort!

I read this the other day, pretty familiar passage:

²⁰ Job got to his feet, ripped his robe, shaved his head, then fell to the ground and worshiped: 

 ²¹ Naked I came from my mother’s womb, 
   naked I’ll return to the womb of the earth.
God gives, God takes. 
   God’s name be ever blessed.

 ²² Not once through all this did Job sin; not once did he blame God.

For those of you who know me, I am currently unemployed, and it is an extremely difficult time.  I went to the scripture for comfort and found this.  Even in the midst of one of the worst times of his life, Job worshiped!  We should all have the attitude of Job.

This Is A Dangerous Thought

I saw a sign at a church on my way to church this morning.  The sign read like this,

If you don’t have anything to pray about today, thank God.

If you ever find yourself in the place were you don’t need to or think that you don’t need to pray, then you really need to reconsider your relationship with God, or consider a relationship with God.  For a believer there is never a time when you should need to pray.

Throwback

The logo is awesome.  I love the throwback look.  However the made with “real” sugar MountainDew does not taste the same as the current Dew.

Makes You Think

This is excellent ice cream by the way, but it makes me wonder, if this is “Real” ice cream, then what is the other stuff that I am eating.

My Roots

Blessed

I am so blessed.  I have an amazing family, we have a wonderful church, and home food, and I am able to pray and read my Bible whenever.  God, thank you for your blessings.  Even in tough times you are still great.
