Random Thoughts on Life and Living. The Power Found In Submission. July 29, 2011. By Random Thoughts on Life and Living. Crazy game I know. But with seven boys all growing up together, we had to use our imaginations at times to come up with things to do. Yet, as always, the crowd followed him. The Bible says that when Jesus came ashore, he saw a great multitude and felt compassion on them. Think for a moment. Jesus is in the process of grieving over someone he loved dearly, yet his first thought ...Only ...

I am a firm believer in the truth. I believe every person has a right to know the truth…regardless of the circumstances and especially in our churches.

Random Thoughts on Life and Living. So…What Have You Sacrificed Lately? September 29, 2011. By Random Thoughts on Life and Living. We live in a country that has been blessed beyond compare. In fact, many people would probably say that America has been blessed far more than she deserves. But many have. And many more will do so willingly as long as America remains a nation where the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness remain a primary goal. So what about you? What have you had to sacrifice? Paul meets J...

Random Thoughts on Life and Living. October 27, 2011. By Random Thoughts on Life and Living. Every believer is a minister. Every believer has a ministry. Every minister with a ministry has behavioral expectations. Of all the things Paul mentions in this passage, verse 10 stands at the forefront as a model for how we are to treat one another as co-ministers of the Gospel. Let’s take a look at what Paul says. First, Paul stresses that the Thessalonians are. Do you think ministerial behavior is important?

Random Thoughts on Life and Living. May 31, 2011. By Random Thoughts on Life and Living. Every day of our lives, we are confronted with the incredible power that man has at his disposal. Take a moment to think about the sources of raw power that you alone have at your disposal. While you’re at it, consider some of these sources of power that you have lived with over the years. The lift off of a Space Shuttle mission. The power of the ocean and mighty rivers. The power of the wind. The power to create.

Random Thoughts on Life and Living. April 30, 2012. By Random Thoughts on Life and Living. While the thoughts above only slightly touch on the sacrifices made by these men and women, there is a an ongoing issue that affects each and every veteran, from the first battles as a newly formed nation, to the battlefields of today. That issue? But why do I bring this up? Why are we discussing people who pose as something they not and have no right to? Neither does a true military hero. They seek to lift up ...

Random Thoughts on Life and Living. Resurrection Power Through Trials. April 29, 2011. By Random Thoughts on Life and Living. There is a saying that has found its way onto bumper stickers and even car tags. It states, “I am spending my children’s inheritance.” Have you ever seen one of these stickers or tags? Sadly enough though, that statement is altogether too true for many. How about this… Have you ever received an inheritance? Well, what’s your decision? What would you be expecting? In order to recei...
