I was reading the daily devotional for August 20th today from Oswald Chambers. It’s called “Christ-Awareness.” You can read the entire devotional below, but I particularly liked this section:
When I am fully conscious of my awareness of Christ, there is something wrong. It is the sick person who really knows what health is. A child [...]
Street-Level Theology: What Americans Really Believe.
Several years ago I read “The Second Coming of the Church” by George Barna. It opened my eyes to a lot of things in ministry and has served as confirmation to the call God has given me about New Passion Church. I find the 17 statistics below alarming and as [...]
I’d Rather See a Sermon
By: Edgar Albert Guest
I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day;
I’d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
The eye’s a better pupil, more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but example’s always clear,

I often want to have all of the answers. Its not always fun walking by this thing we call faith. The more I walk in faith the more I realize that it is by walking in faith that it increases and I learn how to live in it more regularly. It still doesn’t make it [...]

Sometimes I wish I just had a flashlight to see some of the things lying before me. At times I think a flashlight would make things easier. When I talk to people about joining [...]
I was at a church training event this past weekend. One of the pastors at the event gave a great morning devotion. He opened by talking about some of the things that hold him back from fully obeying God or fulfilling the call that God has placed on his life. One of the reasons he [...]

At first I was a little upset that Andy Stanley was not going to be speaking, however after Voddie got finished I was excited I was introduced to this pastor. My dad and brother showed this [...]
I must confess, I have an issue with the so-called prosperity preachers and Christians. Don’t get me wrong, I am not trying to set myself up as a “judge and jury” against anyone, but my view of Christianity is a life of giving away and serving others rather than a life of obtaining and prospering.

I’ve been hunting for treasure lately. It’s amazing how much I’ve already found, its only been small amounts here or there, but the amazing thing is…the more smaller ‘pots of gold’ that I find the the hungrier I get to find the big treasure chest!
This is where I have been lately…
My child, listen to what [...]
Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
Proverbs 22:6 (NLT)
Moses, the bagboy, found $10,000 in the bathroom of the grocery store where he worked. When you watch the video, you will see that he decided to turn the money into his manager so the owner of [...]
