Where Sunday's Message Meets Everyday Life

  • Learning New Stuff

    At Grace Fellowship we I have undertaken the task of putting sermons up on the web. After a little training, I spent a day and a half trying to get it right, editing the messages, setting up the web page, uploading files, etc. I’m getting way too old for this! Still, I got it done,… Continue reading

  • God’s Immense Grace – part III

    Jerry Bridges is continuing to refresh my soul as I consider God’s grace each day. Here’s what he wrote that really hit home with me this morning – “We’re dependent upon the righteousness of Christ for our acceptance with God, and upon the power of Christ for our ability to pursue spiritual growth.” In short,… Continue reading

  • God’s Immense Grace – part II

    There is knowledge that informs you and knowledge that changes you. I know about God’s grace. I have experienced it. I live in it whether I realize it or not. But when I meditate upon the grace of God, it becomes knowledge that changes my perspective and my actions. This morning as I was reading… Continue reading

  • God’s Immense Grace

    This is from my devotional this morning. I hope it speaks to your heart as it did mine. “Your worst days are never so bad that you’re beyond the reach of God’s grace.

When directly properly it can rightly be seen… Continue reading

  • God’s Agenda

    When God makes you aware of some unconfessed sin or some deeply hidden flaw, He is doing so because He is ready to act in your life.  He is ready to move you forward toward holiness – toward the image of Jesus Christ. He does not reveal your sin or flaw to condemn you.  He… Continue reading

  • The Snowflake Man

    Ever heard of Wilson Bentley? He was a farmer who did something remarkable. He was self-educated, which is in itself a noteworthy achievement, but he went on to do something that no one else had done before him. And his discovery has ingrained itself into our understanding of the world. What was it that Bentley… Continue reading

  • American Compassion

    Despite the problems that exist in this country, when tragedy strikes anywhere in the world it is the United States that leads the way in providing aid and comfort to people in dire need.  It is amazing that the same forces that may be used to wage war are called into action to bring healing… Continue reading

  • Guilt or Convictions: What Motivates You?

    What motivates you as you make your daily life decisions? What inner compulsions nudge you to choose this action and not that one? Sometimes the motivators in our lives come from outside.  For instance, your boss says that you need to have a report on his desk by 4:00 pm – or you drop a… Continue reading

  • Follow up to 3D

    Considering how many times I sat with my daughter and watched the Disney movie Pocahontas, I cannot believe this didn’t dawn on me earlier.  AVATAR = POCAHONTAS.  Check it out:  http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/01/04/lol-james-camerons-avatar-is-disneys-pochontas/ Continue reading
