Life is fast. Living is slow. It's easy to miss the important because of the intrusions of the urgent. Sometimes, I need to take time to breathe, think, connect, and live where I am.

Escribe la visión
Cuando Dios da dirección para su vida o ministerio, escríbalo. Hasta que no lo escriba, no es más que un sueño imposible. Carece de sustancia. Escribir le obliga a expresar las ideas de manera coherente. Si no puedes escribirlo, es que no lo entiendes. No podrás compartirlo eficazmente con los demás.
The Test of Rest
Sabbath is almost a lost concept in the United States. We stay busy trying to take care of all our needs, wants, and wishes. God wants us to remember to trust Him. Thus, the Sabbath, a pause to remember what He has already done. Believe it!
Don’t Miss the Point
Grace doesn't just forgive sin. It also teaches us how to live properly. It can say, 'I still love you,' and then, 'Now stop that!' Pray for your pastor to have the boldness to train you for effective service.
No itchy ears!
Teaching church folk can be challenging. We either don't understand the first time, forget over time, or probably both. We need to be reminded of our failures and responsibilities, as well as God’s grace, to help us through. Thank God for pastors who provide what we need. Let's go to the assembly of the saints this week, ready to receive what we need.
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.
See You in Church
We are designed by our Maker to seek connection and identification. This drive fills taverns and football stadiums. God put this drive in us to encourage us to connect with other believers. He wants us to depend on each other.
Reclaim the Sabbath
Itf you're struggling with the weight of life, or frustrated by unanswered prayers, or feeling discouraged and alone, or struggling for physical healing, maybe it's a good time to swallow that spiritual pride and go to church. Lives change in His Presence.
Take, Learn, Rest.
Jesus declared that all who come to Him will find rest. Our New Creation Sabbath is a person, not a day. Sure, we still need to take time to rest, contemplate, and marvel at His goodness, but we have a New Creation grace that makes rest our default position.
Let’s Try a Little Faith
As we prepare for church this week, we can make our meeting more than a lecture and a mini-concert. If we come with faith, Jesus will still show up. He hasn't changed!
