Can You Identify Yourself? — devotional
Posted by: | CommentsCan You Identify Yourself?
(The following is from my wife’s blog. Mikki is a very gifted writer and always challenges us to go deeper.)
Okay, I admit it. This joke is always told about a young woman instead of a man, but I think that is gender bias so I tweaked it a bit!
Identity has become a huge concern in our world today. We have identity crises. We have identity security. We have identity theft. My only problem so far is that no one has wanted to steal my identity!

The 7 Ups! — sermon outline
Posted by: | CommentsThe 7 Ups!
(I received this as an email from a friend and it was one of those pass it on emails. It actually contains a good outline for a teaching, so I thought I would pass it on. I do not know the original source for this.)
1. Wake Up !! — Decide to have a good day.
This is the day the Lord hath made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.’
Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up !! — The best way to dress up is to put on a smile.
A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
‘The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart.’
I Samuel 16:7
3. Shut Up!! — Say nice things and learn to listen.
God gave us two ears and one mouth,
so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking.

Samaritan Grace — Devotional
Posted by: | CommentsThis is based on the story Jesus shared about the Samaritan who rescued the guy who had been robbed and beaten and left for dead.
What a powerful story it is! What makes it more compelling is the fact that Jesus awarded the starring role to a Samaritan. This was hard to swallow for his Jewish audience since the feelings toward the Samaritans ran so deep and were so critical.
We will pick up at verse 30 of Luke 10.
Luke 10:30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. (The next verses go on to describe how the Samaritan came along and cared for him and we will address this in a following post).

The Grace Vision — Devotional
Posted by: | Comments
I have been thinking a lot about vision lately because people have been asking me the question, "What is your vision?" I have determined to stay away from pat answers and cliches that funnel out the mouth without ever fostering the attention of the mind. However, it is important to address the thinking process from the pattern of Jesus. After all, He’s the captain of the ship. Take a few steps with me:
What did Jesus teach about vision?
What did the early church teach about vision?
What do people mean today when they talk about your "vision"?
For the sake of being properly focused, leave the Old Testament out of it for now. There goes the Proverbs 29:18 (a great scripture) which we pull out like a six-shooter and fire away at the mere mention of the word vision. Maybe we do this because it seems to align with what we think about vision instead of what Jesus taught about vision.

The Grace that Validates — Devotional
Posted by: | Comments
The Grace of God is a validator in our lives. Jesus was full of grace and he validated people in need of mercy and grace. He touched them in a way that their human dignity was restored and they realized they had value. They always sensed that they mattered to him and His Father. My wife wrote a journal in her blog earlier today and I asked her if I could include it in mine. It is such a beautifully and powerfully written piece. Be prepared to be blessed as you read it.
The Validation of A Human Heart
by Mikki Lawrence

What does it mean for someone to validate your heart?
I want to define “heart” as the part of us we might call our soul. Our soul is often defined as our mind, will, and emotions. Here is more of what the dictionary renders as a definition of soul:
