Relating

Mike | February 2, 2009

Sometime last week there was a copy of Purpose Driven Connection, a magazine put out by purposedriven.com in my box at the church so I threw it on my desk to read later.  Yesterday morning (Sunday) I picked it up and thumbed through it.  I came across a an article called “Are You Connected?” The [...]

Snickers Bars

Mike | January 23, 2008

Part of the process of becoming a man God designed and desires us to me is the willingness to fight for the heart of your King – Almighty God. That calls for standing for God when no one else stands with you. It means that we fight for the standards of God. [...]

What will you give God in 2008?

Mike | January 8, 2008

What are you going to give God in 2008?
I was lead to this question by God during consecutive quiet times just before the new year. Allow me to explain. After Christmas I asked God what He wanted from me this year. Yeah, I know the easy answer – “Your heart!” or “Your [...]

Waiting. . .

Mike | October 10, 2007

God’s teaching me to wait. This week’s quiet times and readings have, in one way or another, led to or are about waiting on the Lord.
I have to be quite honest here, I hate to wait. I never went to Six Flags with Karen because I think it’s ridiculous to pay that much [...]

Struggles

Mike | August 12, 2007

I think everybody struggles. I’m not talking about decisions – to move or not, change jobs or stay where you are, should I pay this bill or that one? I’m thinking more in the lines of ongoing struggles we all deal with – sometimes on a daily or moment-by-moment basis. It’s the [...]

Boldness. . .Guts. . .God – Part 2

Mike | February 21, 2007

My previous post commented on Obadiah and his boldness and the guts it took to risk everything for GOD. I want to focus on Elijah now. It’s all in the same passage – 1 Kings 18.
Elijah, what a man of GOD. 1 Kings 18 records his showdown with the prophets of Baal – [...]

Being a Man with a Heart for God

Mike | February 14, 2007

Ever wonder what it looks like to be a man with a heart for God? I do. I did. . .until God reminded of a guy named Caleb. For the last couple of days God has been showing me what it looks like and what it takes to be a man God [...]

Men and Faith

Mike | December 27, 2006

I was going through my study time with God this morning – I’m walking through Max Lucado’s study, Experiencing the Heart of Jesus.  This week’s study is on experiencing Jesus’ power.  This morning our focus was on faith and how faith allows us to experience – to allow our life to intersect with – Jesus’ [...]
