I ain't got nothing, but you need it too

How about that grammar? Perhaps my professors are right. I am no scholar and my poor writing is only eclipsed my speech.

But there is a truth in those humble words. I ain't got nothing. I sat this morning writing out bills. Looking at my finances and taking stock of all that surrounds me. My determination. I have very little of real worldly value. **enter depressing thought here**

But here is the deal, there was no depressing thought. I have a wife who I believe loves me no matter what. I have a son to carry on my name. I have a daughter who will raise her own kids with lessons I imparted. I have food and clothes enough to manage and I warm bed to sleep in. I am provided for by my Lord.

Here is the point. Nothing of worldly value here should depress us. God provides for us what we need and all the other has no value. Our true value lies in heaven with Jesus. Because our personal relationship with him is what is most important and HE is located in heaven. Where he prepares for us a place (and a place with him is the only thing of value I want).

My father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? John 14:2

See there is plenty of room. So tell a friend of the value you have in Jesus and share that value with everyone.

Does God care about baby poop?

So most of you know I have a 4 month old a home. He became ill and fussy. Nothing could console him. He hadn't pooped in 4 days and not a full poop in 2 weeks. Pediatrician had us giving prune juice and his mother taking probiotics to pass thru milk to him. Still he was miserable. No longer our happy baby.

As I held him praying I found myself asking God to touch his little body and let him poop as designed.

Then as I did so I found myself thinking. What an odd prayer! Does God care about poop? Can you even ask for that?

"The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him." (Psalms 103:13, NLT)

The father wants to know and cares about what bothers or hurts his children. So yes God cares even about baby poop. And just to prove he does he answered my prayer and we have a happy baby again.

Problems persist despite all our methods until we call out to God. There is nothing we cannot take to him.

the next batch of screwed up people

Often I am reminded of a past that would disqualify me. I have years and years of my life that drink and pills have stolen. I don't know what happened for so many of them. I don't know what was said or done. I do know they were nothing to brag about. I know I was a liar, a violent person, unloving, and judgmental.

As I sit here at almost midnight typing on my phone after finishing reading 1 Corinthians chapter 1-5, it hit me what a past Paul had.

Yet here he is trying to right the ship for the church at Corinth. Acting as a father would. Having kids myself I want better for them than I was. I think God saves some of us from our past so in the future we can have the understanding for the next batch of screwed up people.

I can say that much like Paul the man I was is no more. Only what I do for God will matter. Only God matters.

Why I dislike Hillsong NYC..... and why that is an issue

Hillsong NYC, can you believe these guys, do I know a lot about their theology?  No

Do I know how many people are having life changing eternal moments?  No

Did I bother to find out?  No

Don't need to, they have lights and smoke, confetti and rock show tactics, everyday is a party........blasphemy I scream.....and you know its all staged, they plan the events and have people in charge of creating excitement. They are a night club of a church (keep reading)

Just Look!!

Can you believe this????

Can you believe this, these people plan a party weekly, they plan to be excited about Jesus. They place a desire on extravagant worship, regardless of style they really want to do it right. They dare to provide a image of a Christian excited about God.

wait..... when you say it like that...... maybe its not such a bad thing....

See I saw these pictures, and I thought judgmental thoughts, as many people do. But God asked me one question "am I not worth preparing a celebration for?" 

I have been so convicted by this, I have decided ever church should throw a party, if we are honest, he is worth it, and its not about you or me, its all about Jesus!!

Thank you Hillsong NYC, God Bless

What I have learned in seminary

What I have learned in seminary thus far:
1. I have poor sentence construction
2. I have a pastoring heart which leads me to believe the Bible as fact; this does not bode well for my scores in writing academic papers.
3. I now know what exegetical means, but no one cares.
4. Footnotes are just a way of killing trees and unless you’re a professor no one uses them.
5. No one in school is excited about school.
 6. You will not use half the books you buy.

Here is what I have learned (not in seminary) that is of value. I learned this from living daily what I believe.
1. Jesus is awesome, and no one learns that from good sentence structure, they learn that from experience and excitement.
2. Knowing the historical accuracies of the Old Testament will never convince a person like a heartfelt testimony. Be honest and share what God has done for you.
3. Discipleship and Mentoring is biblically the way to educate people, make sure you are plugged in where this is happening. A degree is just a piece of paper.
4. The only book you need is a Bible.
5. Love cannot be taught.
6. Grace does not require a student loan.

 Hope this helps someone.

Every person needs a creed.

Every person needs a creed or statement of beliefs to fall back on, here is mine and a worksheet to help you develop your own. 

Personal Creed: Statement of Beliefs

            I am a disciple of Jesus of Nazareth. I believe in God in three parts, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. I believe all that is good is created by God. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that the Son was sent to be born of a virgin and to live and walk among us, in a sinless state. Jesus died on a cross, a sacrifice to the Father for our sins. I believe that after three days Jesus rose again and walked among us. That Jesus then ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the one who Jesus said the Father would send to comfort us, and so that we may do even greater things for the Father’s Kingdom. I believe that the Holy Spirit’s primary purpose is to create within the believer the boldness to testify about the Father and the Son. I believe that the greatest way that we will be known as a disciple of Jesus is that we share love on for another.

I will be an earthly representation of the Father to my children and community. I will represent the bride groom in my marriage. I seek to always be Jesus to all I come into contact with.

Denominations are a division created by man inside the church of Jesus, I believe in one congregation of the redeemed as the bride of Christ. I believe that it is the will of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit that division inside the church be laid aside, for the discipleship of the nonbeliever.

I am a man of God placed upon the earth to be a servant for the Kingdom, to perform my tasks as instructed by the scripture and the Holy Spirit. This is so that the Father may be glorified through me his son, and that Jesus my Lord and Savior will be glorified and welcome in the family of God as a brother. As a servant of the Kingdom I will sacrifice selfish thoughts, desires, and beliefs and replace them with those of the spirit. As a servant of the Kingdom I will fight daily over the struggles of flesh until the time that Jesus greets me upon my death, giving me a heavenly body that will not have temptations of the flesh. I believe that the chief end of man is to glorify God. I believe my actions must daily prove that my heart’s desire is to glorify God through the loving attitude of a faithful servant!
