The Fire of Your Heart..

Want to know God's will for you life?

Then answer this question:

What ignites your heart?

Forgotten orphans?

Untouched Nations?

The inner city?

 The outer limits?

Heed the fire within!!

Do you have a passion to sing?

THEN SING!

Are you stirred to manage?

THEN MANAGE

Do you ache for the ill?

THEN TREAT THEM!

Do you hurt for the lost?

THEN TEACH THEM!

As a young man I felt the call to preach. 

Unsure if I was correct in my reading of God's will for me...

I sought the counsel of a minister, i admired.

"Don't preach," He said "unless you have to."

As I pondered those words I found my answer:

"I have to. If I don't, the fire will consume me."

What is the fire that consumes you?

-Max Lucado

"The fire of your heart... Is the light of your path"



Overflowing Praise

All enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise...

The world rings with praise-loves praise their beloved,

Readers their favorite poet,

Walkers praising the countryside,

Players praising their favorite game..

Just as people spontaneously praise what they value,

So they spontaneously urge us to join them in praising it:

"Isn't she lovely?

Wasn't it glorious?,

Don't you think that was magnificent?..."

I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because

The praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment;

It is its appointed consummation.

-S.Lewis

My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast;

         I will sing and give praise

  For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens,

         And Your truth unto the clouds.

 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens;

         Let Your glory be above all the earth

-Psalms 57:7, 10-11

God's pursuit of praise from us and

Our pursuit of pleasure in Him are one and

The same pursuit. 

God's quest to be glorified and

Our quest to be satisfied reach their goal in

One experience:

Our delight in God which overflows in praise.

Got the River?

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

John 7:38

The Power of Jesus in the Church!

Rev Lee Stoneking!

This is the power that we have.

Let's Boast!

Yes let us boast about Jesus!!

We boast of temporal men and women who do what are considered great things, but do we boast of the One who saved us?

"I paint," cried Raphael.
"I build," was the boast of Michelangelo.
"I rule," cried Caesar.
"I write," Cried Homer.
"I conquer," creid Alexander.
"I seek and save," cried JESUS CHRIST.

He wrote a Book that cannot be burned,
banished or torn apart.

 It just keeps reappearing.

He conquered death, hell, and the grave!

He has no equal and cannot even be compared in the same breath with any man!

He is superior to all.

He is the great I AM,

The King of kings and the Lord of lords,

The Lord of Hosts,

The El Shaddai,

Jehovah Jireh;

He is the one True God!!

Yes let us boast of Him.

JESUS!
