3:264 – God On The Lips, Hate In The Heart #faithbites #faithjourney lips Setting The word of God is powerful. It strengthens, empowers, and keeps us. His word promises salvation. There are those who use scripture to tear down rather than build up. False prophets who will pick and chose scripture to hurt rather than looking at the whole message […]
3:263 – Pain is Temporary, Memories Last Forever #faithbites #faithjourney temporary Today, we were enjoying the fall weather at Rader Farms. My youngest was playing in the sand pit by herself and was a bit lonely. I got down on my knees and started playing with her. After we were done, I got up slowly and painfully. (It’s been a […]
3:262 – The Waiting Game #faithbites #faithjourney waiting Setting This week we had a leak in our kitchen that went into our bedroom. For the past 48 hours, we’ve had these giant fans going. I’ve been waiting. Waiting for quiet. The bedroom fan is now off but the kitchen is still on, so we wait for quiet. I was thinking […]
3:261 – I Don’t Understand #faithbites #faithjourney understand There are many things in life I don’t understand. For instance, I was facilitating a case on women’s health for work. I don’t know what it’s like to be a woman. I can’t relate. Likewise, I don’t know what it’s like to be black on America. The only thing I do understand […]
3:260 – Watch and Pray #faithbites #faithjourney Watch Sometimes #faithbites are hard to write, other times, God tells me what to talk about. Today’s is based on my first grader’s memory verse: Mark 14:38 – “Watch and pray that you may not enter temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” We all want to be good. […]
3:259 – BEING Naked Before God #faithbites #faithjourney naked #BEINGChallenge Setting I got out of the shower this morning and looked at my clothes on the bed. Underwear, shorts, undershirt, shirt. If it was colder there would have been socks and a jacket. So many different items to wear so that I’m not naked. And I’m not even counting a […]
3:259 – Stop Complicating Things! #faithbites #faithjourney complicating Setting We often say life is hard. People are hard to get along with. There is too much to do. Things are just plain too complicated. Heck, we even make believing in God complicated. Then once in a while, God steps in to make you realize it shouldn’t be that complicated. Today, […]
3:257 – Let’s Get Started #faithbites #faithjourney started #BEINGChallenge Setting I don’t know about you, but I’m always excited to start something new. I may be a bit nervous but I am always excited. Our church is about to being a 40 day deep dive by completing the #BEINGChallenge. This is similiar to the #RedLetterChallenge we did last year, where […]
3:256 – Walking In The Rain #faithnites #faithjourney walking Setting This morning was our planned prayer walk at church. It’s quite simple. A few people go walking through the neighborbood, observing what they can to determine the needs of the neighborhood, praying for the neighbors, greeting people they see, and if they are amenable to it, praying with them. It’s […]
3:255 – God’s Voice #faithbites #faithjourney voice Have you ever been going about your business and a specific song came into your head? Maybe you were taking a shower and a thought or prayer came to you? Maybe you were about to make a decision or take action and you got butterflies or a pit in your stomach. Have you […]
