Awe, Perfect!
Every so often, I enjoy browsing through Christian Book Stores just to read their wall hangings. It draws me to worship. Yet, no matter how beautiful, either the color or wood tone doesn't coordinate with my home furnishings. Thus, coming home...

Poster Boy John Kerry
Few election campaigns in recent memory have generated the media feeding frenzy equaling that of presidential hopeful John Kerry. This is because John Kerry is both a Senator and a Catholic. Senator Kerry has compiled a rather consistent voting...
The Pharisees
Who isn't aware of the sins of the Pharisees? (Especially the Accuser of the Brethren?). But does that mean the truths they teach, even if they don't live them, are no longer true? It reminds me of James 1:22 encouraging Christians to be doers of...
Two Kinds of Religions
Hollywood has brought another controversial film to the table, "The Kingdom of Heaven." This is Hollywood's version of the historical "Catholic" crusades that took place approximately a thousand years ago.

If I Were Called
~*~
If I were called to teach, I'd give it my best.
If I were called to preach, I'd better pass the test.
If I were called to reach, I'd do it with much zest.
If I were called to each, I'd surely need some rest.
Mt. 11:29b
~*~
We, often, hold high expectations for our spiritual leaders (as does God) to teach, minister, give guidance and direction, to be the example, live what they preach, and to be available, willing, and able to meet our need. We're truly blessed when we have such a person in our life.
However, were we to multiply our need by the entire membership of our church, we'd see that our expectation is somewhere between unrealistic and nearly impossible. Leadership often finds themselves between a rock and a hard place as, even for the most devoted of servants, there aren't enough hours in a day.
What a good thing it
would be were we to give something in return:
1.)to volunteer services to make their load easier.
2.)to not lean on them but upon God.
3.)to only ask for help when we can't find resolve.
4.)and, to try to become more like the expectations we have for our leaders.
Perhaps, then, we could begin impacting our world for Christ while allowing our leaders the same privileges we have ... to have a family and a life.
