A quote from Rick Mckinley’s book Jesus in the Margins, … “unforgiveness assures us that we will not move to where we can reimagine life in the love of the Father.”

Just sit quietly and think about it!

CHURCHY VS. MATURE

MYTH:
Fish and other cold blooded amphibians can only grow as large as the environment in which they live, such as living in a small aquarium.

FACT:
The below factors directly influence the size of a fish, just as they will in other animals. These factors include quality of diet, available nutrients and resources, cleanliness, volume of diet, and available space. Not only will these influence the mature size of the fish, but they will also influence the growth rate and overall health of the animal. A fish that does not have enough protein and vitamins in their diet will grow more slowly, stay smaller, and be less active, however, this fish will also be more prone to injury, heal more slowly, be more susceptible to disease, and have a higher risk or organ failure. The same is true for insufficient space or poor water quality. Additionally, the decrease in overall health in fish is far greater than the small change in their adult size.

So the reason fish do not grow to their typical size is not because they wont, but because of the many factors that slow their growth, which leads to premature death. more…

I originally read this on Bob’s Blob. It is an excerpt from Timothy Ferris’ book “The 4-hour Work Week” and really wanted to share it with all of you. Great find Bob!

The American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied only a little while.

The American then asked, “Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more fish?”

The Mexican said, “I’ve got enough to support my family’s immediate needs.”

The American then asked, more…

What makes a church successful? Who or how do you define success? As we quickly approach our 2-year anniversary I fined myself asking these very questions. Should we ask such questions or should we sit humbly as God continues to bless His creation.

The Dictionary defines success as: The achievement of something desired, planned, or attempted; The gaining of fame or prosperity.

How do you define success in more…

I’ve been asked how I come up with some of my sermon ideas. First you come up with a kicking hot topic and then you utilize these creative motivational methods. Now everyone can be just as creative. Yes, the cat is now out of the bag. By the way, the trained professional in this video is not me.

All kidding aside all I can say is that my wonderful counselor is with me. Yes I do prepare, but it is the Holy Spirit that moves and directs me. It is the only way it works. How can a man boast and take the credit for the work of someone else. All the glory is yours God.

Thank you for allowing me to serve you.
