Solomon wrote down life’s lessons he had learned in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. We do learn from experiences we have gone through but it is important to learn from others experiences as well. We often think we don’t have anything to share with others, but we do. I can tell you, from experience, to pay attention [...]

Lifesaving Mission – The Great Commission One of the greatest concerns of pastors, clergy, priests, etc. is the lack of involvement from those within the church in reaching out to help those who do not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Some of the excuses we use are: “I don’t have the time” “I [...]

Sometimes we hate that word – responsibility. To be responsible as a Believer is essential in our spiritual walk. Today I am going to focus on three verses that Rick Warren used in his book The Purpose Driven Life. His entire book is loaded with scripture after scripture. I like that.
I believe it is in [...]

I’ve been journaling The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. For review, the journey has taken us through “What on Earth Am I Here For?” Then we have Purpose:
Purpose #1 You Were Planned for God’s Pleasure. In journaling we discussed what makes God smile; Have a Heart for Worship; Becoming and developing a friendship with [...]

Now, some of us know exactly what 4H is all about and possibly were members at one time. What are the 4 Fs? Paul is an excellent example of the 4 Fs. Rick Warren wrote in The Purpose Driven Life that when you reveal these 4 Fs you risk rejection. Paul was used regardless of his [...]

So much has happened since I first read The Purpose Driven Lifeby Rick Warren. My little sister had recommended the book to me. She had been in Walmart while she was traveling for her job and bought a copy. She had re-married on December 30th and her husband died June 1st the following year. Her [...]

Being content with our weakness. In The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren talks about knowing yourself and really knowing about God. Continuing from the last blog Rick Warren now writes several reasons to be content with our inborn weaknesses. The Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians and said:
I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, [...]

In the Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren writes “in our weaknesses we can realize God’s power”. Most of us don’t want to admit our weaknesses. I am so amazed at those who not only admit them, but they have found a way to live in spite of them. Our weak areas may involve physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

I would like to post something a little different today instead of the lessons we have been reviewing from my study of The Purpose Driven Life.
I live with chronic pain and yesterday and today we went to an Orthopedic Doctors to see if they could help relieve the pain – they couldn’t.
I just hurt to [...]
