Whether we were created that way or it came as a result of the fall, God clearly likes to refer to us as sheep. It's all over the Bible. Sheep are sometimes described as eating or resting, but more often they wander off, become weary and discontented, or are eaten by wolves. Baaahhhh!

Barandillas de guía: Solo compra lo auténtico.
Asegúrate de poner a prueba tus revelaciones antes de hacerlas pasar por algo que viene de Dios. Si te equivocas, sé capaz de admitirlo. Eso te dará más credibilidad, no menos. No hay prisa, tenemos toda la eternidad y un Dios que conoce el final desde el principio.
Stay Steady!
When God speaks to us, we usually believe that it will happen very soon. That's a possibility, but it's not the rule. We see from God's advice to Habakkuk that once we have written the vision, it may take a while. Don't quit!
Vision or Pipe Dream?
When God gives you direction for your life or ministry, write it down. Until you write it down, it's nothing more than a pipe dream. It’s devoid of substance. Writing forces you to express ideas in a coherent manner. If you can't write it, you don't understand it. You won't be able to effectively share it with others.
Sunday Supernaturally: Clean the Atmosphere
Satan is a remarkably faithful member of most churches. One of his jobs is to distract, disrupt, and generally impede the flow of the Word and the Spirit. We don't have to allow him to succeed. Take a minute to clean house before every service.
The Holy Spirit Speaks
Church was designed to be more than a few songs and a short speech. Our spiritual heritage is to recieve a fresh download from Heaven every time we meet. Let's not settle for less.
Sunday Supernaturally: Searching for Shepherds
We are not designed to do this life alone. We need each other, and we all need a shepherd to help us along the way. If you have a great pastor, thank God for it and let him/her watch for you. If not I pray you find a place to connect, submit, and develop your gifts.
Sunday Supernaturally: Do your part
God has a part for each of us to play in His grand plan. Our individual role may not seem important, but it is necessary. My reward comes from doing my part, not from envying yours. Corporate success depends on individual obedience. If each of us does a little, we can all do a lot.
Let’s Stay in Step
Having been born of the Spirit, we have God’s life in us. We are children, not slaves, and we are created righteous and holy by nature (Ephesians 4:24). This God-life is a free gift. The Spirit has given us new life, now our life’s quest is learning to “keep in step with the Spirit.”
Sunday Supernaturally: Appreciate the Gift
This is Pastor Appreciation Month. I’ve always appreciated the 3-step outline that Paul gave to the Thessalonians. If you want to fully enjoy the gift of God in your pastor, try these three things.
