A Few Thoughts From an Amazing Day...
- Worshiped with the fine folks of Canoe Creek Christian Church today.
- The folks at Canoe Creek are a very gracious group.
- Do you realize that of all the inventions of mankind, we have never been able to invent grace, it is purely the God thing which changes our life.
- Three important thoughts we need to know about grace...
- Grace is the offer of God’s ceaseless presence and irrational love that cannot be stopped.
- Grace is not just the forgiveness of sins. Yes, is the promise of forgiveness, but it does not stop there!
- Grace is the constant flowing of God’s power and presence and favor in your life from one moment to the next moment to the next moment to enable you to do whatever it is that God wants for you to do.
- The Canoe Creek Worship Team did a great job with the hymn O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing! What a great arrangement.
- Tony B. did a great job with John 10 this morning in Bible School, we would all be better off if we hear and obey when it comes to God's word.
- Got word today a dear man passed away this morning, Bill was one of the most gracious people I know, and without a doubt he has heard those words from Jesus; "Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant"
- Some college students returned from a week in Haiti this past weekend with a new perspective on life.
- Speaking of perspective, I got a new one this week from a good friend about what really matters. I am praying for him daily.
- Next week I preach in Jacksonville, looking forward to spend some time at home with my folks as well.
- Sometimes you just have to laugh.
- I am amazed at God's gracious provision.
- Something to Chew On...Some leaders feel that by keeping people in the dark, they maintain a measure of control. But that is a leader’s folly and an organization’s failure. Secrecy spawns isolation, not success. Knowledge is power, yes, but what leaders need is collective power, and that requires collective knowledge. I found that the more people knew what the goals were, the better buy-in I got – and the better results we achieved together. – Mike Abrashoff
