You CAN Make A Difference!
We are going to be filling up the “Trailer of Hope” for some of the tornado victims in Alabama this weekend at Faith Renewed.
You learn more about what we’re doing here and see a list of what is needed.
When devastation is great, it’s real easy to sit back and do nothing because we can’t help everyone. I love something that Andy Stanley said, “do for one, what you wish you could do for everyone.” You may not be able to help an entire community or city. Can you help one family or one person?
Lets’ make a difference together.
The Spirit Of Adoption
Sometimes I gain a better understanding of God’s Word by putting in hours of study. Sometimes by divine revelation. Sometimes however, it simply comes through living. When it comes to the Spirit of adoption. This has been a combination of all three…
I think I always understood the overall concept of being adopted into the Family of God. In March of 2007 when my wife & I adopted our youngest son, I got a little more “revelation” and have been gaining a little more understanding on this subject each day. I still remember when the judge said these powerful words, “I grant you full rights as parents, & Caleb full rights as son.” WOW! What an amazing feeling! It was legal because the one that sat in authority, said so.
Romans 8:15-17 says, For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs––heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
It’s truly an incredible feeling to know that I can go to God in prayer as Daddy, and He accepts me as son. If you’ve accepted God’s grace, you are a son or daughter of God. Not because you can earn it or deserve it, but because the One that sits in ALL authority, said so.
Below is a picture of the “Adoption Day” of my youngest son.
Sunday Night Reflections…
A few thoughts from an amazing weekend!
- It’s Mother’s Day weekend! So first of all, THANK YOU to my mom, the mother of my kids, & to all the wonderful mothers out there. If you are a mom I hope you received the honor you deserved today. We really wouldn’t be here without you!
- Thankful for a great day at Faith Renewed. We are in a Series called DNA. Today I taught on what we believe in the area of healing.
- Romans 10:13 says, For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” The word saved means to make whole or to heal. Not only did Jesus die to forgive us of your sins, but also for our healing, & to deliver us from bondage.
- The cool thing is we saw God save today! He healed physical bodies! Set people free! We also saw the greatest salvation of all, crossing from death to life! He is HEALER!
- I also got to spend some time with my mom & dad today! So blessed to have Godly parents that love me & brought me up in the ways of God.
- Finished the day off with an incredible mother! My wife is a great “mommy”. Grateful to be able to do life with her.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend & I pray you have a blessed week!
