Preparation
I have been reading in the Old Testament of Exodus and Leviticus. One word that keeps popping out of the text is the word “prepare“. It is amazing not only how detailed the preparation was to get everything right, but the consequences of not taking this type of worship seriously. I’m absolutely convinced that during those first days and years of temple-worship experiences were entirely inspirational as people were actually following IN DETAIL what God had asked them to carry out. Unfortunately humanity began to ignore — take for granted — became bored — and actually lost the passion of preparation.
John the Baptist also did this: He prepared the way for Jesus — a way to live in God’s favor. THAT kind of favor is a a not a preparation of works, but of mercy! Now each day we can PREPARE for and follow through in worship to this King of Kings and Lord of Lords! So what are you waiting for?
Angels!
- What are angels?
- What is their role in God’s plan?
- Are they present?
- Do they appear?
- Do they give us personal insight about our work, our worship?
Many contemporary beliefs about angels are based on misconception and myth. Dr. David Jeremiah uses scripture to unveil the remarkable truth about these agents of heaven, and their role and work in our world—and lives.
More than 60,000 units of this powerful book have sold in two past editions. This repackage of the original 1996 paperback will surely capture the attention of readers of all ages who seek a broad and thorough survey of scripture that clearly separates fact from fiction as it relates to angels. The book will appeal to the thousands who follow Dr. Jeremiah’s books, and radio and TV broadcasts.
Relevant, little known biblical facts help readers sharpen their knowledge and sensitivities toward the spiritual reality of angels. Dr. Jeremiah’s enlightening findings are supported with illustrations and insights from Billy Graham, Corrie ten Boom, C.S. Lewis, and more.

Worship Teams – Dynamics – Drums
I really have to agree with Greg Atkinson when he posted that dynamics can really be a HUGE factor in leading worship. You should read his post, it’s right on. But I think the big thing for me is to watch how simple and DYNAMIC this video is that he posted by Phil Collins. I like it so much that I wanted to post it below.

… As Long As I’m Sincere
January Sprint or Pace
This is the first full day back in the office for me for the year 2010. Vacation days are fun, relaxing, inspiration … and then the longing for the routine DOES come back.
So I am looking at an instant TO DO list of thing put off until now. My list for today is 21 items long. Whew! But, diving into these tasks can certainly be energizing.
The question is and remains:
How do I pace myself to become more effective THIS YEAR than LAST YEAR?
What will change in life and family — as well as in MINISTRY to Jesus in THIS NEW DECADE?
I know one thing — prayer will be in the mix — and my desire to CONNECT with God and Peeps is non-negotiable.
First Sunday of 10
Every now and again you look at where you’ve been and where you are going in life.
This morning I shared a message of hope regarding truth and the reality of how one’s view of truth effects what they do.
The question for any person to ask is, what is TRUTH? Or as mentioned today, WHO is truth. When you reconcile that the Bible tells us that JESUS is the way the TRUTH and the light, then it comes down to a crossroad point, doesn’t it?
So why don’t you find out about Jesus — in fact READ ALL ABOUT HIM. I suggest starting with the Gospel of John. Then make a decision to become active about what you learn.
Your decision will effect your behavior both here on earth and ultimately answer eternal spiritual destiny questions as well.
