Trying something new Devo Video and daily verse..

““Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18NIV

Settle it

““Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18NIV

This passage really speaks volumes of working it out and forgiveness.   The Lord forgives us from all that we do but we need to work it out and then it is settled.

Do a life check! Is there anything you need to get settled with the Lord?

My House will be YOUR house

“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.””Joshua 24:15 NIV


People place this scripture in there house to remind them that serving the Lord has to be the fore front of your mind.  Setting the right priorities will make all the difference in your home.  The level of your commitment to the Lord creates of destroys the atmosphere in your home.

my wife, my kids and I have decided and committed that our home will be HIS home.

Have a blessed day

I urge ....

“[Instructions on Worship] I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2 NIV

I look that at this passage and I think of the very last statement.  That we may live peaceful and quiet lives in godliness and holiness.  Wow! To live in peaceful and quiet lives seems to be very difficult with this rat race that we live in. I know it is possible because its in the Bible.  To have that kind of solitude in all goodness and holiness what a bonus.

Well I pray that this will speak to you heart as it have mine.

Ministers - Yes that means you

“He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” 2 Corinthians 3:6 NIV

I just watch a movie "Grace Card"... Really enjoyed it..

One of the Characters was concerned he wasn't making a impact. The question is this are you willing to be used by the the Lord? Are you willing to tell people about Jesus?

Then you are called to be a minister.. It may not be a shepherd of a church. But wherever you work, play or etc becomes you mission field. Go forth and minister.

Pray for our Government/leaders

“[Submission to Governing Authorities] Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”Romans 13:1 NIV


Some people would rather picket our leaders but I believe that we should pray for wisdom.

Have a great day...

YOU

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9 NIV

WOW! did you realize how special you are. This passage of scripture should really encourage you.  I am amazed at this description. Don't feel validated today.

So why not praise Him today!

Take in the sites

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,”Ephesians 1:18 NIV


So many people are blinded by the things of the world they forget to really take in all that the Lord has for them. When I look around how awesome He is.

Last Night (Oct 31), we held our 6th annual Harvest Hoe Down at the church. This year we had 300 (Adults and children) in attendance.  This amazing that when this all began there was only 50.  This is so much the numbers it is about sharing the love of Christ to a community.

My challenge is really open your eyes and take in the sites.
