WOW! God does amazing things when we listen to Him and simply "be still" for a weekend and let Him reveal to us "I am God" (PS 46:10). In the quiet remoteness of Messiah's ranch God spoke! It never ceases to amaze me how much I miss those times when we turn the stress of everyday life off and just listen for Him. It is so difficult for most of us to take time to "be still" we are running from one activity or responsibility to next without giving a thought to the God who loves us so desperately. Life is busy, schedules are packed and families and friends require our constant attention but what would it do for our day to just STOP! LOOK! and LISTEN, not to the latest music video, youtube video or latest gossip but to what our Father has to say. God is screaming out to each of us how much He loves us and just wants to spend time with His kids. Don't wait for the next camp or retreat don't even wait for tomorrow, take the time right now to just sit, talk and listen to the only one that loves you enough to pay the price you cannot pay, the one who understand the intimate details that no one else even knows, cares in those time when we think no one even knows we exist and is willing to give more than we can possibly imagine. "Be still and know I am God" so simple and so neglected. Take some time to visit with your heavenly Father, He is waiting on you.

I am so excited about this High School mission trip. After our trip to MO following the tornado, my heart goes out to those struck by disaster. There is a lot to accomplish in the next few weeks, but this is going to be great. Shoveling mud and sharing Christ! What better way to spend the week of the 4th of July. Be sure to check the "Mission" page and let me know if there are any questions. Start praying and preparing now for God to do some cool things in our lives and through our work.

Mark 1:14-15 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
The GOOD NEWS, Jesus is Lord! Have you ever looked at the message of Good News from Jesus' point of view? As he walked this earth telling anyone that would listen, "the time has come" for your life change, your heart change, and your future to be changed, He could see clearly what it w...

Mark 1:9-13"... at that time Jesus came down... was baptized by John in the Jordan..."Wow! What detail. It is like a 2000+ year old Twitter account. Step by step... tweet by tweet it is all there. What did it take for Jesus to humble himself and be baptized? This is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and he went down into the muddy water and was dunked. This was just for you and me, Jesus is THE example of a life lived right. We battle with humbling ourself and just admitting we know him. So... Continue reading...

Mark 1:1-8 "a voice of one crying in the wilderness" You ever feel like that? You are screaming but no one is listening? You may be like John and you are trying desperately to share the truth of Christ and it seems everyone you talk to has ears filled with "Shrek Wax." How do you think John felt? Not only did they not listen to him but when He told the truth about right and wrong, they lopped off his head. We truly live in a "wilderness." There are so many distractions and so much confusion ab... Continue reading...
