Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Preached at River Run Brevard today, this church is doing a wonderful job as a grace dispensing church.
• The more I preach about grace the more amazed I am that we really do not have a handle on this topic, nor do we talk about it near enough.
• I am not talking about a sugar-coated grace that cost nothing and means nothing, I am talking about biblical grace, which cost Christ everything and no matter what we can still not afford it and yet it is given to us as a gift from God. To see how great it of a gift it is, meditate of this passage for a few minutes.  
• I cannot get over the fact that once Paul heard from God regarding his thorn he never mentions it again. 
• Remember the more we focus on grace the smaller our thorns become.
• I really loved the worship this morning.
• Sadly we said goodbye to another family who is moving north for a new job. Pierre and Cari, we will miss you very much.
• I am preparing a workshop of an upcoming conference on Biblical leadership, I wonder how did we get so far off target of what God desires for leaders of HIS Church?
• How can it already be mid July?
• Something to Chew on; The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You cannot blow an uncertain trumpet.
