Here I am send me

Darlene will head to Nashville tomorrow in order to find a job, visit friends and perhaps look for a place to stay. We’ve tried to make Louisiana School system work for Caleb but he has been unsuccessful here so we’ve made the decision to be apart for the year so that Caleb can graduate. Praying for God to really show us what to do and how to make things work

There are lots of reasons why God shouldn’t use you.

A Spoken Word Poem

Message for me. Maybe for you too.

This is a sermon based on Pete Briscoe’s idea of a modern day understanding of the Biblical concept of the Bema.

I will sing of the loving-kindness of the Lord forever. I will make known with my mouth how faithful You are to all people. 2 For I said, “Loving-kindness will be built up forever. You will make known how faithful You are in the heavens.”

Thanking God that the song doesn’t end. Nothing can stop the rhythm and meter of this melody. Death, separation, doubt and despondency are no match for the strong and unchained  sound of God’s grace. It has passed through ages of war, pain, oppression, bondage and unthinkable holocaust and yet the sound is steady and strong. It is tall enough to reach the heavens and powerful enough to break the bounds of oppression. It was sung as a dirge on a cruel cross on a Friday but returned as a dawn-breaking, triumphant wakeup anthem on Sunday.  Thank You God that the song never ends.

He needs to eat, to be loved, and held closely.
He needs to be protected.
The little guy can really do nothing for himself.
He’s a high maintenance gift from God.
Such a miracle! Such an overwhelming revelation of God’s power and artistry!
But as you bathe him, provide for him, He’s going to need something from you.or advise on girls and cars.
This precious child needs something that will never fade.
It’s a gift that is found in the quiet times and lonely places of your life.
Eternity is in the balance. It is dependent upon this gift you’ll give him.
More than college funds, and clothes.
Even more than wise counsel, as important as that is.
He will need your consistent, passionate, powerful prayers.
That’s what he needs from you today, tomorrow and for every day you call him son.
