I’m going to share something really embarrassing today. Actually, I’m kind of hoping no one reads this blog; which is why I’ve tucked it in the middle of the week. But I feel it needs to be told because it might help some of you. Painful as it is, it sure helps me to tell … Continue reading A Voice in My Head

On the Christian radio station the other day, I heard one of the DJ’s saying, “You can give without loving, but you can’t love without giving.” That is so true. There are many reasons why people give of their time, energy, and money. Some people do give out of love. They are moved by a … Continue reading You Can’t Love Without Giving

The other day, during a Personal Worship Time, I reflected on the most used title of Jesus, “Lord Jesus Christ.” As I looked at this title, which the apostles use over 50 times in the New Testament, I realized that each of those words has a special meaning of how it relates to our lives. … Continue reading Lord – Jesus – Christ

When I started to reflect seriously on the Psalms a few months ago, one tiny little concept in Psalm 1 grabbed my attention: “sitting in the seat of mockers.” Blessed is the one who does NOT sit in that seat. I wondered: what does that really mean? The obvious definition of a mocker is someone … Continue reading Getting Out of the Seat of Mockers

Usually when the Bible mentions “rocks” or “rock,” it is a positive concept. The wise man built his house upon the Rock (Matt 7). The LORD is our Rock (various Psalms). We are spiritual rocks (stones) built into a spiritual house (1 Peter 2: 5). And Christ is the rock (stone) the “builders rejected” that … Continue reading Wrong Kind of Rocks

For today’s blog, I want to share a little early morning “pep talk” from an Orthodox Archbishop, Anthony Bloom (taken from “Beginning to Pray,” pp. 75-77). It will get you going! “Awake in the morning and the first thing you do, thank God for it, even if you don’t feel particularly happy about the day … Continue reading A Whole Life Worship Pep Talk

During one of our Whole Life Worship Community times with the Worship Team, one of our team members shared a Whole Life Worship idea that I thought was amazing. It something we can draw upon when we take offense to another person. Nothing removes us faster from the flow of Whole Life Worship than being … Continue reading The “No Offense” Offense

I hate catching light red lights. I know I’m just an impatient person, but it drives me nuts sometimes. I know God is trying to build more character into my life, but I still don’t like getting a red light, and waiting, waiting, waiting. My idea of a great morning is catching nothing but green … Continue reading A Signal to Give Thanks

Today is my Dad’s birthday. Lewis Lee would have been 85 today. But he passed away into the Lord’s presence ten years ago. And while some of the memories are beginning to blur, I will never forget him and I long for the day when I will see him again in the Lord’s presence. Dad … Continue reading Legacy

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says to “give thanks always for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Have you ever wondered what this means? Does this mean that I constantly need to say “thank you” to God?  Is God so insecure that He needs my “thank you” after He does something for me? Granted, … Continue reading Gratitude Changes Our Attitude
