ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS

Let me approach you differently today but still speak directly to your heart. Dear friend, you have a decision to make every time that God sends you a specific message, a message with no details omitted, but clearly specified in His communication to you. Listen! Don’t miss the details in the message! The decision you have to make is clear when you look at two Biblical passage relevant to...

BEING IN THE ROOM DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REALLY IN THE ROOM

“Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,” (Proverbs 1:5 English Standard Version) Have you ever been in a virtual meeting and individuals in the virtual room just show their name or have the same picture appear every time there is a meeting?  And on top of that, they never say a word. Now, to fair, before I say what I want to say, I...

STAY TO THE FINISH

“When I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight,for I bear your name, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.” (Jeremiah 15:16 NLT) If you know anyone who tunes in to “attend church” virtually, ask them, “How long do you listen to the service?” Before they can answer, especially if they are obviously stalling around hoping to come up with an...

THE CHANGING LENS

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” (I Corinthians 13:11 NIV) After service on Sunday, one of the church members stopped at a nearby gas station.

We will safely escape on speedy horses.” But those who chase you will be even faster.” (Isaiah 30:15-16 Contemporary English Version) God wants to get your attention and my attention today....

PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAILS

“Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other.  None of this going off and doing your own thing.  And cultivate thankfulness.  Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house.  Give it plenty of room in your lives.  Instruct and direct one another using good common sense.  And sing, sing your hearts out to God!  Let every detail in...

“EASY PEASY”

“Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem.  You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day.  God’s way of salvation is made available through the Jews.  But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to...

“ATTENTION ALL WALKERS!”

“And who of you by worrying can add one hour to the length of his life?” (Matthew 6:287 Amplified Bible) With springtime’s arrival and summer eager to knock on the door of seasonal change, I have seen an increase in the number of individuals who have stepped out to improve their physical stature.  In other words, many people have renewed their daily routine of walking to get in...
