This means YOU

"God must have something for you to do" How many times have we heard that said after a near tragedy? A nurse, EMT, or maybe a family member will look at some person who nearly died in an accident or survived a particularly bad heart attack and tell them that God must have spared them...

She believed me (Consecrate18 #13)

Speaking of Abraham, Paul wrote to the Romans, Romans 4:19–21 (KJV 1900) 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was...

Father (Consecration18 #8)

When Jesus's disciples sought his instruction regarding prayer, they probably had something else in mind. Addressing God as King, Lord, or Creator was something they could have understood. God as an incredible out of this world sovereign was an idea that was familiar to their Hebrew sensibilities. This idea of God as Father was almost... Continue Reading →

Trust your Equipment (Consecration18 #7)

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. Over the years, I have been blessed to preach several youth camps.  A centerpiece of youth camp activity is often the climbing wall.  Towering dozens of feet off the ground, with synthetic rocks jutting at intervals that vary...

Routine (Consecrate18 Devotion#5)

Routine. What a word.  The very mention of routine elicits a response that often speaks of the mundane, the boring, the average, and uninteresting.  Yet, when we dial 9-1-1 we expect the dispatcher to have everything down to a calm measured "routine".  We expect the fire department's equipment to be well maintained and in working...

Choices (Consecrate18 Devotion #3)

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:  20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou...

Look how busy I am…

I'm just so busy.  Too busy.    You've said it.  I've said it.  We have all remarked and wondered at the level of busyness in our day to day lives.  We speak about it like it is something we despise.  Yet, for many, there is something comforting, something nice about busyness.  In fact, a recent...

Yes, Mr. Doorbell. I get it.

When the doorbell steps up to teach you a God lesson, you know you need to receive it. This evening, when I returned home from meeting with the intercessory prayer team, I grabbed my bag out of the car and headed in the house. However, my progress was impeded by a door lock which can... Continue Reading →

Beware Blue Owls and Chewy Books

     Last evening, after dinner I retired to some reading while my bride cleaned up from our meal.  As I was in the midst of reading an essay by my favorite author, I was distracted by a whimper coming from my daughter, who had been playing on the floor.  She, being not quite a...

Self Assurance

"I am going somewhere, and you can't go with me now.  However one day you will follow me there" "Why can't I just go now, I can go anywhere with you, I would die for you, that's how dedicated I am" "You would die for me?  Listen to me, the roosters won't even have woken... Continue Reading →
