What’s Happens Next?

A little time has passed since the death of Apple Founder, Steve Jobs.  I’m probably the last one to finally be writing about it. (I took a little blogging break…)

In my opinion, he was a creative genius, that has helped shape the world as we know it.

It’s sad to see anyone die at such a young age, to a horrible disease.  I’ve learned in ministry that during times of loss, the best thing we can do, is pray for the family, and if we have a personal relationship with them, be there.

The question I pose today is, What Happens Next?  

Not for the Apple corporation…  With the release of the iPhone 4S, we’ve seen that they will continue on.  What’s next for Mr. Jobs, and for the estimated 150,00 others that die each day?

Steve Job’s was a Buddhist. In his mind, after his death he would find out if he had reached “enlightenment” or not.  If he had not, he would be reincarnated and brought back for a another shot at it…

According to the Bible, we die once, and then face judgement.  We will be judged on the decisions that we made while on this earth.  The main decision being, did we receive the free Gift of Salvation that was offered to us.

My hope is that in his last hours, Mr. Jobs opened his heart to the Truth of God’s Word and to The Grace that was extended.

Are You Brave Enough?

Are You Brave Enough?

One of the men at our church, posted this question as his facebook status this week.

He asked the question, in relation to our Men’s Meeting that was scheduled later that evening.  He was making an appeal for other men to come, and be a part of our gathering…

God has been doing some INCREDIBLE things in the lives of some our men at Faith Renewed lately!

I believe it’s because they answered YES to the question, Are You Brave Enough?

I’m Brave Enough To:

  • Set my pride aside
  • Be real
  • Be open
  • Realize that I can’t do it on my own
  • CHANGE

God has a GREAT PLAN for your life!

Do you want to see that plan unfold?

If so, I must ask the question:

Are You Brave Enough?

This gets me beyond PUMPED!

I walked in one of the Escalate KIDS Ministry classrooms today at Faith Renewed and I read this on their white board.

It must have been left on their from their last class…

To say I got a little pumped, would be an understatement.

I LOVED IT!

Proverbs 22:6 says, train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Children’s Ministry should never be something that just keeps the children occupied, while the adults “have church”.

We have to put God’s Word into our kids as soon as possible.

I’m so thankful for those that I serve Jesus with!
