It takes a lot of focus to compete and win first place! It can be an event with a few people or thousands, but there is only one person who gets first place. It is a lot of effort to be the winner. There is no question that this is also true with God. It takes a lot of work not to win but to keep HIM in first place in your life. When he is in first place, you will always win. When HE is NOT...then things slowly and sometimes quickly fall apart. How do we do this and why? God's Word tells us...

Where do you go for help? Do you seek something smaller or bigger than yourself? Do you seek that which only lets you down or something that truly helps for the long haul? Is your help dependable? Choosing the right kind of help is everything.

The chapter that I'm struggling with at the beginning (LIKE AN IDIOT!) is Psalm 21:1-6. Sorry about that!

What fulfills you? Do you think it will last? Does it complete you? I think you will find. that the only person who can fulfill you is Jesus. Take a listen.

A lot happened this week. A lady slaughtered in Charlotte on a train, Charlie Kirk is murdered. Children are shot at their school. What is going on in our world? What is going on with Christians in our world? How are we supposed to respond to all this mess and heartbreaking loss. How will we deal with people who oppose God and live for themselves and are steeped in sin? What in the world do we do?

This is a new series: "Musing With God" - These are just thoughts that come out of my quiet time with God and time spent meditating on His Word and allowing Him to speak to me. These are the same thoughts you can have as you spend quality time with God alone.

Does God do everything for us or do we have responsibilities. Paul tells us in Phil 4 that what we have seen in him...DO! We see King David modeling this in Ps 16:1-2

Studying the Bible 101 - Has someone told you that you need to study the Bible more, but you don't know how? I have told people this and have given no direction, and they end up frustrated because they don't really know what to do other than just read the passage. This should help you a little if you are trying to get started on studying God's Word. It's a beginner's class, but I believe it will be highly beneficial for anyone who studies the Bible in this way. God bless you and enjoy hearing from Him.

Feeling lost and out of control? Are you alone with nowhere to go? Has your life fallen and you cannot get up? There is an answer. Jesus! He can be your salvation. He can "rescue" you from whatever you are going through. 

Last week we talked about how the Holy Spirit has been present and working throughout history since creation. Now we speak today of how he works in you and I and does powerful things in and through us in ways we cannot put into words.

How important is the Holy Spirit to you? What do you know about Him? He is important to you, whether you are an unbeliever or a believer. He is the one knocking on the door of the unbeliever, trying to get them to come to Jesus. He is the one who convicts you, challenges you, guides you, teaches you, and shows Christ in your life, if you are a believer. Have a listen...

Happy Anniversary to me and my wife!

Prayer is a means of accessing God's presence and protection. Are you praying? Are you praying continually? You should be, and so should I. It is life-changing!
