I Was Thinking...About an Agenda!!

 Episode 9: November 7, 2022

 

I was thinking…about an agenda!  What exactly is an agenda, “

agen·​da ə-ˈjen-də : a list or outline of things to be considered or done. agendas of faculty meetings.: an underlying often ideological plan or program.” (Found online) ideological plan or program – what is our plan?  Each and every one of us has an ideological plan.  Ideology is what we believe or ideas.  We get these beliefs and ideas from society, school, faith, parents, culture, work, etc. No two people’s beliefs are the exact same thus that is the problem. 


 

Because of this we have conflict.  If you have a group of people who “believe” the same, their ideology is still going to be different and thus there can be a power struggle.  Even the twelve disciples had a different ideology.  They had seen Jesus do some amazing things.  They hung out with Him 24/7 for roughly three years.  Walked with Him on the beach, on the water and through pastures.  They listened to His teachings and believed in His ideology yet they still had a tainted ideology because they argued who would be greater.  One disciple even sold-out Jesus for a bag of silver.  

 

So how do we combat this dilemma of a selfish ideology?  Simple, “14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14


 

Humble ourselves before God and pray for strength as the attacks from satan will come, AND I can assure you they will come!! God will forgive and God will heal!

I was Thinking....About how Things are..

Image
March 17, 2024 As I think about how things are, I am super excited to see God’s people on the move. They are reaching out and reaching into the community demonstrating God’s love for His people. We are coming up to Palm Sunday and Holy Week. Can you imagine the excitement of the children. The excitement of the men and women there. Word about Jesus had spread and reached Jerusalem. Can you hear the people “is this the One, the Messiah that Isaiah talked about?” The children cheering Hosanna!! Hosanna!! Waiving palm branches while the men and women lay their cloaks down worshipping Him. All the while the city leadership is becoming more and more enraged. Jesus broke all kinds of cultural norms. He did not gather an Army and march in as a conquering king. He humbly (which was not a cultural norm for city leadership) came the week before His death to teach, heal and continue to proclaim the Kingdom of God. He was tortured and made to carry His cross, the very cross Jesus woul...

I was thinking about....FREEDOM

July 3, 2023 Episode 22 I was thinking…About FREEDOM. This being the 3rd of July, the only obvious thing to be thinking about is FREEDOM! Even though today is a Monday and the 4th is on Tuesday, there seemed to be a lot of activities going on over the weekend and that has made me wonder why is it, we only seem to be worried about freedom once a year. Are we truly thankful for our freedom? People will cook out, go camping, go fishing, watch hot air balloons and watching fireworks. I’m truly surprised that with the way society is going (its “wokeness), the freedom to celebrate freedom has not been taken away. There is one freedom that nobody can take away and that is our freedom from sin. I love how Galatians 5:1 says, “Christ has set us free to live a free life. So take your stand! Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.” (The Message). The cool thing is, anyone can have this freedom. Romans 10:9 tells us, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and b...

I Was Thinking....About Feelings

Image
  January 13, 2023 Episode 17   I was thinking…About feelings.  Yes, I said feelings.  😊    I do have feelings!  I just have difficulty showing them.  Why is it it’s so easy to get our feelings hurt?  How do we over come getting hurt, angry, frustrated, Etc.?  I was thinking about this while I steam cleaned the carpets at the church and let me tell you that the carpets at the church really needed cleaned!!  What do you think of when you think of carpets?  It’s a place that you walk.  Things rest upon it?  It holds things (dirt, water, etc). It takes a beating!   Compare that to feelings.  Don’t our feelings take a beating?  Can’t someone race through different emotions in a short amount of time???? When we engage with other people throughout our day we stack different emotions on top of each other just like a carpet collects the junk and ...
