I’m Back

Hello all….

I went on an extended blog vacation for many reasons, but I am back now and you can prepare yourself to hear from me on a regular basis. During my blog vacation I pulled back from all of the social networks (Facebook, myspace, twitter, pownce), I just focused on what matters most The Lord, and my family. I have so many things to update everyone on, and so many things that will be coming up that I want to tell you about. This is not only an interesting time for the Body of Christ, but it is also an interesting for Word of Faith. God has been really challenging us to flow in the vision that he has given our house. Now, for some people, our vision may not seem very important to you, and that is ok (it is not your vision), but to me, vision is everything. Plan on staying connected as I update you on where we are and where we are going. I will have a post later today about my audio book and our new podcast, and you will also see some long over due updates to the site.

Thanks for being so patient with me and I look forward to where we are going together…

Are you really in control?

As a pastor it is very easy to let what other people are going through to weigh heavy on you (even when what they are going through is self-inflicted). I listen to people almost everyday that have a problem with something. They pour out there heart and tell me everything that is wrong and we pray, I give them the best information that I know, they leave and it seems like they forget everything that we just talked about…

At that point, I seem to get all the way frustrated and I find myself blaming myself for not doing enough. When this happens, I am not in control of my own emotions, but the other person is (Man that is not good). You may be saying it is good to hurt when someone else hurts, but not to the point where it causes you to no longer be able to help others.

This is my question, “Who are you letting control you” ? Are you really being let by the Lord, or are you being led by other peoples emotions and issues?

This is the reality, if you are sick, you can not help others get well - period….

The Body of Christ - Let’s do it…

We always talk about the body of Christ this, or the Body of Christ that, but I came across a family that is putting us to the test. I met a guy on twitter who is a family life pastor in Illinois. He and his wife are trying to get a house, but they were short on the funds, so what did he do, he asked everyone of his twitter friends to give him 2.00 - yep you saw that right - 2 bucks…. let me say it again $2.00 - yes, that is all. I was so inspired, I gave…sure did…

I do not know the family personally, I have never been to their church, I am not trying to win any points with him, I am walking out the scripture which says that the "believers had all things in common". My wife and I have a house, and I want to make it happen for this family as well…

Now for those of you who know me, you should realize I am pumped up about this because I have never used my blog to ask for any money… but I am a firm believer in this saying - "what you make happen for someone else, God will make happen for you…. So, if you want to see the body of Christ come together and make some stuff work…. Let’s help buy a house, and as you focus your attention on someone else, God will focus his attention on you…. Man, I am inspired by this… 2 dollars….. Follow the link below for more information….
