Sunday Plans





It's Saturday night.  We're in the middle of the weekend.  Many of you were doing things last night or today with friends or family.  They were intentional plans.  You planned to go out to dinner, see a movie, work out or just hang out with someone important to you.    But I wonder, How many of us are going to be intentional tomorrow morning?

We all know that church is important.

We want to be in church

But we can't make ourselves get out of bed.

We resolve on Monday that next Sunday we will be in church.

But by next Sunday, we will be lying in that comfy bed with no thought of Church at all.

So what happened to all our great ideas about being in church?  Well, to be honest, they fell by the wayside like many other grand thoughts because we made no other plan to see that we carried out our idea.

We were not intentional.  We do not approach going to church the way we approach a date with a spouse, a friend, or anyone else, for that matter.  So when Sunday morning comes we are still in our pj's at 10:00 our will power and resolve gone like the wind.

So let me ask you?

Will you be in church tomorrow?

Don't make church and gathering with the family of God an afterthought.

Be intentional, make plans.

Don't let Satan distract you and keep you from the fellowship of the saints.

I know where I'll be tomorrow.  I have plans, and I am not going to let Satan hinder them.

See ya' at Church!

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday.   She is ninety-five years young.  She recently moved into nursing home.  She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile.  She said the person told her about ten.   Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.”  Hahahaha! What a lady!  She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home.  As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.”  Wow!!! I need to live like that!  I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus.  She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break!  The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept.  As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor.  I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong.   That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him.  I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit.  If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink.  We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others.  As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
