We are a fellowship of Sinners

Powerful words bro! So very true........if only the church would believe it about themselves and work toward healing imagine the difference it would be making in peoples lives.

This year, last year.............

What a difference a year makes. What journey, what battles I have faced. What trust God has put inside of me in this year. Strange I am in the city I left one year ago. A city I at one time thought I would remain in for a long time. The dreams of the past are like a faint haze over th… Continue

Why is it so hard for me to trust?

Trust. Trust that requires faith. That requires courage. That requires work. Why is it that sometimes I make the leap of faith but following it through to the end is the tough part? I read in Matt 14 this morning about Peter's trusting that it really was Jesus out there on the water.......to get out of the boat and go to Him. It's only when he saw the wind and the waves that he started to go down and Jesus had to save him. Peter is so much like me sometimes. Jesus say's "alright I'm on the other… Continue

What grows inside of Us?

I saw something this morning that made me think..........I was looking down an alleyway in urban NJ and saw all the clutter all the garbage that was there.....all the dirt. But in the midst of all of this grew this amazing and beautiful bush.......some sort of flowering bush. How it survives I'm not sure, but it grows and thrives in all the mess. I saw this as a analogy of my life, how even in all the garbage of my life Christ is flourishing inside and wants to make an impact on the world aroun… Continue

Blessed are those that Mourn

Sounds kinda bleak eh? That I should look at mourning as a good thing........but Jesus knew so much more than what I can see at face value. Matt 5:4-6 "Blessed are those that mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." God is so good about showing up at just the right time I come to find. What truth that He has in His living word. I read this today and i… Continue

Bombarded from every angle

Sometimes I feel like satan is really coming at me from every possible angle.......through people, through things, through situations.....It can get really frustrating for me.......Somedays I just want a little peace! God is watching out I know and I can trust Him to take care of it. He wouldn't allow this to happen if He didn't know that I could handle it. Those baby steps are tough though. One things at a time, one day at a time. The other night this song from my childhood came into my head...… Continue

I got my bachelors from Cincinnati Christian U. and I am working on my masters currently with Tiffin University's online program. I really like it, this is my first experience with online learning but it works really well for me. I am getting a MBA in Leadership. What are you planning on going to school for? Well hope you are having a good week. Later

Glad to hear you are doing well and that you got some family time in also. Hopefully you can get some downtime in while you're back in jax.

You may have mentioned this before...but did you live in Atlanta last year?

Have a good weekend and God Bless!

At 8:52pm on June 11th, 2008, Chad said…: Mike-

Thanks for the Encouragement. I wrote an email to Eric through the church groups page and signed up for the men's grp. I plan to be there this Monday. We have been taking the financial peace class on Saturdays from 3:30 - 5:30 and then just to church at 6:00 pm. The financial class ends June 21 so then I think we will go to 9:30 on Sundays. How about you?

How is traveling going this week? Last weekend I did yardwork, a few things around here then just hung out and got some sun. My wife, myself and our oldest went to Don Juans for dinner and had a good time. The twins were at a birthday sleep over so my oldest had our full attention. It was a good talk. This was our last day of school. I can't believe I have an 8th grader and two 4th graders now. Hope to see you saturday night. My replacement cell phone should be in tomorow, yes!!!!!!!!-- will call you soon (now that I can)

If the weather is good- plan to go to the beach on Father's Day.

You are a great friend, Chad

At 8:33pm on June 11th, 2008, Gary said…: Hey Mike....sorry for the late response. Been traveling and getting in late. Didn't really feel like I had anything worth saying :)

Hope you've keeping the faith bro.

When are you due back in JAX?

At 7:49pm on June 6th, 2008, Tim Sampson said…: Hey Mike, How are you doing? I am good, i work as a security supervisor, moved down here for school and just haven't left. How do you like the UK? Hope your having a good weekend?

At 7:04am on June 6th, 2008, Gary said…: I agree Mike...too often we toy with Jesus not taking our relationship not serious enough until we have troubles in our life...then we run to Him.

I was in New Orleans this week and felt like I was under spiritual attack at times. This wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary since there is so much evil down there with sins of the flesh, vodoo,etc. Sad part is it's a cool place to see. It made me think a lot of my life before Christ (when I visited the city) and how easily it would be to slip down that slope again. Whenever satan reminds you of your past...remind him of his future!

Grace & Peace,
Gary

Whats going on Brother..wow, man you definetly make your travels sound like heaven and all.. The only mountains I've seen were in tennesee and that was pretty cool to me.. can't imagine what edinburg looks like. It sounds like your comming round full circle with God. It is quite amazing when your standing in front of a mountain that you think you can't get over or is to hard to handle but then God in His mercy and grace has set you upon that mountain to defeat your foe. your mountain then becomes your footstool. It's true you can move that mountain just as Jesus resisted satan in the desert. Keep it real..keep it kingdom....Peace

“When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive — right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ’s cross.” Colossians 2:14-15 The Message

Has your “old life” been cancelled.

You once had a life … a sort of real life … but something that left you wondering ‘ If only … I could have done better …..”. But … You were brought alive … right along with Christ. all..All…All of your sins have been forgiven. Real life in Christ is a forgiven life… that grows and grows.. Your new life in Christ is an exchanged life … a life you could never have on your own terms or convenience. “Forgiven .. Clean .. Canceled .. and Nailed” That was your life and the lives of everyone before you who placed their your in Christ. Your “old life” will never be able to support the life Jesus has for you. His new life in you will begin to remove all the old “habits” that you’ve carried … sometimes unseen … sometimes unknown … sometimes very much known. There is real forgiveness in Christ. It is not a game with Him. It is about your life and the Life Jesus wants to give you. It only takes a moment ….

“My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now life him.” Colossians 2:6 The Message
