What If?

Have you ever asked the question, “What If?”  What if I had said something?  What if I took that job, or married that girl?  What if I had gone to college.  “What If” can be a powerful statement to motivate us, but it can also be a statement that brings regret and even self-judgment.

But, what if we had someone who understood all of our what if moments, loved and accepted us anyway, and gave us new opportunities to live again?  What if we turned the script from living with our regrets to living today?  What if we stopped beating ourselves up over missed opportunities and looked for new ones today?

The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah said that God’s mercies are new every morning.  That means today is a new day, you are given new dreams to reach for, and essentially a “do over” every day.

Where's the Wind Blowing?

Where's the Wind Blowing? John 3:8 (The Message) You know well enough how the wind blows this way and that. You hear it rustling through the trees, but you have no idea where it comes from or where it’s headed next. That’s the way it is with everyone ‘born from above’ by the wind of God, the Spirit of God.” When you enter this life of following after the Christ you enter into a life no longer guided by the same landmarks as your old life. The old life is measured by tangible things, years, money, possessions, titles, etc...   The new life is measured by the things you cannot see, faith, hope, love, grace, mercy, maturity, etc...   The old things are visible, tangible, they are perceived by your senses; you can taste, touch, smell, see and hear them. This new thing is visible as to the effects, you can see and hear where happened after the fact. This new thing is driven by the wind of the spirit. Like a natural wind, it is invisible, yet it can be seen, it is made...

Endgame, Part 6 - The Church at Laodicea

The Church at Laodicea Revelation 3:14-22  (NIV) “ To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation.  15  I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!   16  So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.  17  You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.  18  I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. 19  Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.   20  Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and...

The Walk of Faith

I am learning a lot about this walk we call faith. Faith is sometimes this mystical thing that we talk about, but may times confuse as a noun, when in actuality it is a verb. Many people say they walk in faith, when what they are doing is walking in the faith. This faith walk requires more than just knowledge about God, it requires that we chase after God. It is getting up every day and walking where God says walk and doing what God says do. I am learning that this starts with the little things. There is an experiment in the world of theoretical physics called the Butterfly Effect. This theory states that in the perfect situation, and the right environmental conditions that if a butterfly flaps its wings of the coast of Africa it could result in a hurricane in NY. While this theory may be a little far fetched, it proves a very valuable point. Even the littlest things have great consequences. There was a scientists named Fermi', he invented the ferimeter which measures thi...
