The Power of Gratitude -- Savor. Seize. See. 

Told an old friend this today: 

"I truly believe that when we do not cease to be grateful for what God has done, it gives Him more favor to do the things He has not yet done."

I also reminded him of an old Kerryism from my local pastoring days: 

Let us…

"Savor yesterday’s memories.

Seize today’s moments.

See tomorrow’s miracles."

Let’s be…

Unconditional Trust of God Brings Blessings 

“Some people continue to trust God even when troubles happen. God will bless those people, if they show that they really trust Him. He will give them the gift which is life with Him. He has promised to give this gift to all people who love Him.” James 1:12 EASY

Preaching That “Cuts to the Heart…”

"Only by the power of the Holy Spirit within us as preachers will our exhorting of God's Word effectively cut to the heart of human beings as they listen to the messages we share." -kww

"When the people heard this (Peter at Pentecost) they were cut to the heart..." Acts 2:37a NIV

An Amazing Simple Bible Verse 

Sometimes it takes just a simple Bible verse to amaze me and to bless my soul. Today, it was this one:

“After Jesus left the synagogue with James and John, they went to Simon and Andrew’s home.” Mark‬ ‭1‬:‭29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Think about it. Can you imagine Jesus coming to your home after a church service? Amazing for me to consider.

“An Awareness of Greater Glory”

Joseph Parker, an English preacher of the nineteenth century, once said, "If we, as the church, do not get back to spiritual visions, glimpses of heaven, and an awareness of a greater glory and life, we will lose our faith. Our altar will become nothing but cold, empty stone, never blessed with a visit from heaven." And this is the world's need today— people who have seen their Lord. - Cowman
