If You Don’t Like It, Then Leave. | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2013/02/19/if-you-dont-like-it-then-leave
If You Don’t Like It, Then Leave. Posted in Devotional Blog. Indiana natives have an unspoken requirement to either be a “Hoosier” or a “Boilermaker” fan. My wife’s blood flows crimson and cream. I have chosen to be a Purdue fan ever since my older brother told me I should (despite my B.A. from Indiana University! Haha) I’m not an avid fan; last I knew the coach was Gene Keady or Kelly or something like that. I can’t name a single player on either team. Get this garbage off our T.V. screen! If there is a...

You’re a Christian? Prove it. | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2011/04/16/so-you-think-youre-a-christian
You’re a Christian? I believe that being a Christian requires faith. Actions. That’s not to say we’re not saved by faith alone — we are. But faith that saves us is never alone. Faith without actions is dead, and isn’t going to save anybody. With that said . . . . I began asking myself almost every day, “Did you do anything today that would demonstrate Christ’s love in action? 8221; or “Did you do anything today that any other ‘good person’ wouldn’t have? Ponder that. How is Christ chang.

What To Do When You’re Frustrated. | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2013/08/16/what-to-do-when-youre-frustrated
What To Do When You’re Frustrated. Why do we get frustrated? I think its because our expectations aren’t being met. That’s all frustrations are —. We never call it that – but if you’re frustrated — somewhere in the situation is an expectation that’s not being met. Whether we didn’t close a deal, had a waitress bring the wrong food, or having a clash with some family member — unmet expectations are FRUSTRATING! But we DO have control over how we handle our unmet expectations. Here’s four options. For exam...

I Like Big Buts! | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2011/10/06/i-like-big-buts
I Like Big Buts! Posted in Finding God. I’ve got a big but. In fact, I don’t mean to be nosey — but I’m pretty sure you’ve got a big but too. Several of them, maybe. And I think we’ve gotten used to our buts being large. We like life with big buts, I think. We like fast paced life -and the busier we are, the bigger our buts get. We’re “but”-lovers, in a way. May you be larger than my “but.” Help me further prioritize the details of life to let you truly be my Lord. Enter your email address:.

A Broken Foot. | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2011/10/19/a-broken-foot
Last night I was driving home and noticed a man walking on the road. It was a residential area so I thought maybe he was just taking a walk, but nevertheless I just rolled the window down and yelled, “Hey, do you want a ride? He quickly agreed, although he only needed to get a few blocks. I introduced myself, and he responded. His name was Kyle. He quickly told me that he appreciated the ride because he had a broken foot. 8221; He responded, “I broke it pretty good.”. At our county fair a few weeks ago, ...

The Big Diehl - Part 2
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/page/2
Exactly What DOES Jesus Look Like? Posted in Book Reflections. I am reading a book right now called “Untamed” by Alan and Debra Hirsch. In the first section, they make a case for “Untaming” (our perception of) Jesus. I thought this was very interesting. (For the record: I think Mark Driscoll is the man! But I also agree with this excerpt). Consider this from one of his sermons:. Now we don’t believe Mark’s original intention was bad. What he was trying to do is rescue Jesus from the overl...I’m in ...

I Shouldn’t Have Been Surprised. | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2011/07/15/i-shouldnt-have-been-surprised
I Shouldn’t Have Been Surprised. Posted in Book of Acts Church. Today, I had an hour to blow before a product I purchased was ready for me to pick up. I ran over to Petco to get some dog food for my huge dog. I knew I still had 55 minutes to blow after that so I was going to run to Starbucks and chill on my laptop. As I was backing out of the parking space I prayed, “God let my hour be useful for you – let me run into somebody that I could minister to and be a shining light for you.”. That didn’t p...

The Great Treasure Hunt. | The Big Diehl
http://blog.adamdiehl.com/2008/07/25/the-great-treasure-hunt
The Great Treasure Hunt. Posted in Devotional Blog. Two years ago I talked about playing hide and seek with God. I want to add a little more emphasis on our need to take initiative and go find him. Proverbs 25:2 says,. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter. That’s such a disappointment! To hide. But its. To search for Him.
