Life Around "The Fire"

Send us Fan Mail Letting go of preconceived notions regarding this current Wave of God's Presence and demonstration of His Kingdom is a wise thing to do. I know it can be challenging. Being nostalgic of how things once were can often be skewed by our selective memories and romantic idiosyncracies. Things are going to be and look different because the plan and purpose of God is unfolding with...

Send us Fan Mail Bob Dylan sang the absolute truth when he cried out, "You're gonna have to serve somebody... well, it might be the devil or it might be the Lord... but, you're gonna have to serve somebody." Who we allow to be our God/god will determine our focus and our abilty to behold and become. We become like the object of our affections/attention.... Beholding and becomin...

Send us Fan Mail If the outer appearance of our life looks good but inside we are crumbling we need a transformation of the inner man... who we really are as a spirit.

He delivers us from the inside out That's what this episode is al...

Send us Fan Mail I was in a busy hotel lobby attending a conference once when sudenly I realized I needed to find a restroom very quickly. So, in my haste, I notices a sign that said "Restrooms" ...I darted into the first door I found. The only thing was that it didn't look like any other men's room I had ever been in before. It had mirrors with different types of lighting and...

Send us Fan Mail If I focus too much of my attention on other people or myself I find that life becomes more and more filled with frustrations. Feeling out of sorts seems to get more and more prevelant. My attitude becomes more and more negative. Beholding and Becoming is a powerful principle of life. We become like what or who we focus the majority of our time on. We want and need  to see miore o...

Send us Fan Mail When people hear your name mentioned what is their immediate thought concerning who you are. Who you are in their eyes might not match who you think you are.

Send us Fan Mail It's so easy to slip into the mindset of pop culture and make living on Earth all about us as individuals Individual rights seem to take center stage. However in the end it's like two ticks trying to suck blood from each other... It's empty and leads only to death. The core or center of anything determines its quality. The True/Abolute Core/Center of Life is meant t...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is loaded with high octane material. It is considered by some to be rather unnerving. Regardless, it is something that needs to be spoken and we're going to speak it out loud and on purpose. It's past the time for us to think about growing up and truly serving the LORD. This whole thing called LIFE is all about Him abiding in love with His people. He doesn&a...

Send us Fan Mail We've all been children at one point. Many of us have gone through some of lifes significant changes. There comes a time when we grow up.

We are emphasizing that on a spiritual level in this episode. So, grab a snack,...

Send us Fan Mail It has been said that a "Word in Season is like Aples of God in Settings of Silver". Some words just need to be written.

I'm goin to be sharing a few of them in the next few podcas...

Send us Fan Mail To know about someone is one thing. To meet them is a whole other thing. That is so absolutely true regarding God.

Get ready because it's happening whether we believe it or not or even like it or...

Send us Fan Mail We have a large backyard with a creek running through it... It's our "Urban Meadow". Our bedroom,/studio/office overlooks the backyard's natural beauty But, we also have a large window with full length curtains that we draw for privacy and it also helps keep the hot and bright sun from heating up our living space. However, we like to pull back the curtains from...

Send us Fan Mail People who know me know that I don't like to be late or stuck in traffic. I like to be on time and I don't like waiting or not moving if I'm in control. Enter God. His timing does not always match our expectations of how and when things should happen. After all, we meet in a building on Sundays at a particular time with His Name or cause above the door and we expect...

Send us Fan Mail Letting go of things we have control over makes some people very uncomfortable. Fortunately God cares more about developing our character than He does in appeasing our comforts. It's been said there are even times in which, "God will afflict the comfortable while He comforts the afflicted." Being filled with God involves letting go of us controlling every aspect of...

Send us Fan Mail Saying something is from God when it's just a man-made show is far too prevelant these days. I think it's better to say, "Things have been rather quiet in my world lately." Instead of just making something up in order to keep some type of following impressed with us. I want people to be impressed with Jesus! The reason this is such a brief podcast episode is be...

Send us Fan Mail Relationships are at the core of what God has, is, and will be developing. God is the Creator of this whole world of relationships. No wonder He spends so much time dealing with it.

The 2 greatest points wrapped up in His written Law can be summe...

Send us Fan Mail The "Basic" aspects of relationship with anyone (especially God) are good and very essential. However, getting beyond the basics is where things start gettting even more intersting.
