  • A Twitter & Facebook Experiment

    Tags: Examen.me, remembering God,

    Yesterday, I used an online devotional from http://www.examen.me. (Check it out! It’s an awesome site, and I’ve enjoyed its capabilities for the past week or so. Anyway, back to my story.)

    So, in this online devotional I studied Psalm 106. And what struck me several times as I was reading was the fact that the people mentioned in the psalm (the Israelites) FORGOT the love of God, FORGOT His works, acts, deeds, miracles, etc., and FORGOT to wait on His counsel and guidance.

    And I thought, “How often do I FORGET the things that God has done for me in the past? How often do I just get caught up in my day and my needs and my wants and desires and COMPLETELY FORGET who God is, His love for me, and what He has done for me?

    So, today – an experiment. I am going to use my linked Twitter and Facebook accounts to remember the things that God has done for me. Wanna join me? Just type what God has done for you in your Facebook or Twitter status.

    I believe that my outlook on life will be much brighter EVERY day if I’d just take the time to REMEMBER who God is, what He has done, and what He is doing in my life. And then after all of that remembering, I have an opportunity to BE THANKFUL.

    Want you join me today? Head on over to Facebook, Twiiter, or your blog. Let the world know what He has done for you!

     
  • Open Invitation to Simply Worship

    I thought it might be beneficial if I posted an email invitation that I sent out to the entire church about this Sunday’s worship service. Take a look!

    In case you haven’t heard, Sunday August 9, 2009 is going to be a great day at Journey Church of Acworth. It is a day when we, as a church, are going to come together for an entire morning of worship. I promise, you do not want to miss this day! Bring family, bring friends – bring as many people as you like!

    I want you to know that our team has been praying for you and practicing hard for this day. However, worship is ultimately not about a performance, perfect notes, awesome guitars, or cool music. Worship is about each of us making a connection with God.

    I have only two requests for you concerning this Sunday’s worship service.

    #1 – Come to the service with expectation in your heart. Enter into worship with the knowledge that God IS moving in our church and will continue to move as we seek Him. Are you in need of anything? Direction, wisdom, financial breakthrough, healing, comfort, etc.? Worship God with an expectancy knowing that He is not only able but also WILLING to meet your needs. (Phillipians 4:19)

    #2 – In Mark 12:30, Jesus tells us, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” I simply echo the words of our Lord when I ask that you worship WITH EVERYTHING you’ve got. Let’s not hold back from Him or be timid or shy as we sing and shout praises to our God.

    I can’t wait to worship with you on Sunday morning!
    It is one of the greatest honors of my life to enter into His presence with you each week.

    Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Hey guys. Sorry I’ve been away from here for a while. We’ve just been making the final push to get office construction finished before our inspector’s deadline. It has been a busy, busy time – BUT – all of the time and effort are going to be worth it. To have offices to work out of is going to be such a blessing.
    I’ve gotten to know some different people while we were working together, so that’s been an unexpected benefit of all of the work. I don’t know if you know this or not, but we’ve got some pretty awesome people in our church. And they work hard.

    Speaking of great people – we had a great men’s group meeting at Vito’s Cafe this morning. Guy, if you haven’t checked it out yet, come on by at 6:30 AM on Wednesday mornings. The breakfast food is good, the fellowship is great, and the encouragement you’ll receive from hanging out with these godly men is something you NEED in your life – trust me. I had the privilege of facilitating the group this morning. It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone a little bit, but I think it went pretty well. The main point is to get everyone together to share what’s going on in our lives – what we’re dealing with, what God’s doing, how our families are doing, how our jobs are going, open up the Word and see what He has to say about all these things, etc. All of that happened today, so I would say that it was a success.

    Did I mention that I have the most fulfilling job in the world?
