Taking a cue from one of my favorite Beatles’ songs, I wanted to share a couple of snippets from my life today – and how God met me at various times. 5:30 am – The alarm goes off! Ugh! I am still tired. My sleep was restless. No wonder! I test my blood sugar and … Continue reading A Day in the Life

Whole Life Worship is living the “large life.” God has called us to live a “large” life for Him. He wants to give us His blessings, His power, His love, His forgiveness, His joy, His hope, His peace, and His transformation. These are all LARGE things. They, if we will receive them, enable us to … Continue reading Getting Rid of “Life-Shrinkers”

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve been noticing a lack of joy in the Body of Christ. Christian brothers and sisters seem to have this overly serious attitude about them. When asked about how their faith is going, the usual reply is: “I’m okay” or “I’m struggling” or “I’m hanging in there”. These are honest … Continue reading Choosing to Celebrate the Lord

I love my laptop computer. Wherever I go, it goes with me. It’s almost like an extra appendage to my body! But I don’t like everything on my computer. In fact, I don’t like the design that my desktop screen is set on. Well, little did I know that I could change that! With the … Continue reading Changing Your Default Settings

One of the most profound books I’ve read on the topic of transformation is “The Renovation of the Heart” by Dallas Willard. One of the concepts that Dr. Willard shared was particularly insightful: that the primary resource for transformation of heart, soul and body is “grace.” The more I thought about this, the more I … Continue reading Fueled By Grace

This might date me quite a bit, but one of my favorite TV shows growing up was this daytime soap opera called, “The Millionaire.” It was about this guy who worked for a multi-millionaire philanthropist. His full-time job was to disperse one million dollar checks to pre-selected people who were in need. These were also … Continue reading Secret Random Acts of Kindness

The other day I was having breakfast with my good friend, Felix – a fellow Whole Life Worshiper of Jesus. Felix has seen many spiritual doors open up with clients and associates (he’s both an amazing contractor and an accomplished jazz musician) who constantly ask him about his sunny disposition and cheerful outlook on life. … Continue reading Choosing This Day to Win

There's more to St. Patrick's Day than the wearing of green, eating corned beef and cabbage, and celebrating all things Irish. St. Patrick was a great follower of Christ, who brought the Christian faith to Ireland as a missionary and exemplified whole life worship of God. Patrick was born in England, actually, sometime during the … Continue reading The Whole Life Worship of St. Patrick

I have a confession to make: there are days when I don’t spend time with God. I don’t like it and I try to keep this from happening, but sometimes it just does. Last Friday was one of those days. After my morning workout at the gym, I had to take a quick shower and … Continue reading Ambushed by God!

Jerry sensed God speaking to him as he listened to the missionary speak of short term missions opportunities to a foreign land. But as he started to fill out the response card, inner voices flooded his mind, “Who do you think you are? They’re looking for mature, experienced Christians; not a spiritual baby like you. … Continue reading Deleting Recordings from the Past
