Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day... 

• What a great day of worship - today was a two-fer, worshiped at FCC Kissimmee in the morning and then worshiped at Christ's Church of Marion County this evening.
• Jim's message on forgiveness was spot on this morning. 
• I find it interesting how much the New Testament talks and commands us to forgive, yet we have great difficulty practicing the art of forgiveness.
• When we forgive others we release ourselves to be free.
• Did you know the only phrase in the Lord's Prayer with a  condition deals with forgiveness.  
• My good friend had an opportunity to worship this morning, you should have heard the joy in his voice, why do people forsake worship when it is so readily available?
• Had a great time worshiping at Christ's Church of Marion County tonight - really loved the congregational singing of "Unclouded Day"
• Florida Christian College has many dedicated employees, I witnessed that this afternoon.
• The churches in Ocala have a variety of music styles and we heard many on them tonight.
• Going through Financial Peace at FCC Kissimmee, why don't we spend more time talking about Financial Peace in our homes, churches and country?
• Something to Chew on; Who do you need to forgive today?

A Few Thoughts From an Amazing Day...

• Reconnected with some dear friends today, we have known them for almost 30 years and it was so good to see them today.
• Worship and message was very good today at FCC Kissimmee.
• Jim asked a very pertinent question this morning, "What thief is stealing your joy?" Hint there are a lot of thieves in this world.
• Received some GREAT news from a friend who is fighting cancer, through God's help, it looks like he is winning!
• My daughter had a great time at her dance last night, she is dating a young man who I believe truly respects her. That is VERY important to me!
• One year ago today, I resigned as minister of Palm Bay Christian Church, over the past year God has surprised me over and over again.
• Do you want a good study on the providence of God, I suggest you study the life of Joseph.
• I was able to witness a young man be ordained into the ministry Wednesday evening, I still believe leading the local church is one of the greatest callings of this life.
• Hey Jim I agree, Christianity makes sense!
• Watching Undercover Boss this evening when this thought struck me, what would happen if our boss, Jesus went "undercover" in our life for a week?
• Something to chew on; The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes. ~ Benjamin Disraeli

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped with the FCC Kissimmee family today. 
• Jim did a great job with the the "State of the Church" message.
• Goals and plans that challenge us lead us to greater success - Amen!
• Our family is blessed to be a part of a thriving church.
• For every church that is thriving there are many that are fading or declining. This must break the heart of God. 
• Jim's morning message was great, but he really hit it out of the park this evening; as he spoke on the topic of guilt. 
• There are three weapons is Satan's "Guilt Arsenal"; comparison, catastrophe and criticism. 
• Loved this thought tonight; The church is the only institution designed to get people to heaven!
• Here is a great couple of verses to meditate on this week.
• Been thinking about my friend Dave and his battle with cancer when I came across this quote in my files; Cancer is so limited, it cannot corrode faith, shatter hope, kill friendships, cripple love, destroy peace, silence courage, suppress memories or conquer the spirit.
• After watching the final play of the broncos/steelers game, you can see why football is America's favorite sport.
• Something to Chew on; The real contest is always between what you have done and what you are capable of doing. You measure yourself against yourself and nobody else. ~ Geoffrey Gaberino, Olympic Gold Medalist.
