GOD: Discover the Benefits of His Attributes

Found an awesome bookmark near my wife’s Bible, she got it at a women’s retreat, but you don’t have to be a woman to appreciate these thoughtful reminders! I’m posting mostly for myself, so I’ll never lose this… it is great for meditating on. I hope you enjoy as well. NASA photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope has been labeled the ‘Eye of God.’ Because God is a personal Spirit… I will seek intimate fellowship with Him. Because God is all-powerful… He can help me with anything. Because God is ever-present… He is always with me Because God knows everything… I will go to Him with all my questions and concerns. Because God is sovereign… I will joyfully submit to His will. Because God is holy… I will devote myself to Him in purity, worship and service. Because God is absolute truth… I will believe what He says and live accordingly. Because God is righteous… I will live by His standards. Because God is just… He will always treat me fairly. Because God is love… He is unconditionally committed to my well-being. Because God is merciful… He forgives me of my sins when I sincerely confess them. Because God…

How Super is Winning the Super Bowl?

Reprinted from Bill Alison’s Amazing Time Management Secrets: It’s one thing to climb the ladder of success, but it’s quite another to climb the RIGHT ladder. Just how super is winning a Super Bowl? Consider these insights by guest blogger Josh Carter: From the outside looking in, Tom Brady appears to have the life everyone longs for, despite not winning Super Bowl XLII. But things are different on the inside. In a past interview with 60 Minutes Brady raised the question, “Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there’s something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, ‘Hey man, this is what is.’ I reached my goal, my dream, my life. Me, I think, ‘God, it’s got to be more than this.’ I mean this isn’t, this can’t be what it’s all cracked up to be.” When pressed to answer his own question, Brady responded, “I wish I knew.” “My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after…

An e-asy way to e-read the e-Bible!

 A friend just told me about a site that e-mails you your daily Bible reading for free, and says: I want to share with you a web mail service I have been using over the past three years.  If you are like me I often go about my busy schedule and forget to have time to read the Bible every day.  A few years ago I found this really cool site that emails you daily readings of the Bible in various formats and versions.  I have been using it for the past three years and it really helps me to keep on track with my daily reading.  If you follow through on each day you can finish the Bible in the course of a year.

Deep Thinkin’ from Rick

Below is an interview Rick Warren recently did that I thought was FANTASTIC and very encouraging and insightful, and I know you’ll agree. So here it is, right from the e-mail a relative forwarded to me: You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having “wealth” from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren,  “Purpose Driven Life” author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California. In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:  People ask me, “What is the purpose of life?” And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven. One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body– but not the end of me.  I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act – the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.  We were made by God and…

Veggie Pirate Spotting!

I had another Veggie Marketing sighting when I went to see National Treasure 2. (my first sighting) This was a framed poster in the theater – pretty cool! The movie hits theaters on January 11th! Let me encourage you to take the family and GO SEE IT! It is a great movie, but besides that, we need to show Universal that good wholesome, even Christian, movies are worth investing in! If this movie doesn’t do well in theaters we risk losing the argument that “Hollywood” refuses to produce good movies and help them in their argument that they don’t because people don’t go to see them. Do your part and support the film in the theaters so the market will be encouaged to make more clean wholesome fun entertainment for the kids of America! Allow to me share an excerpt from what I wrote to Phil and Mike to thank them for participating in the Veggie Pirates Q and A on Kidology: The Pirates film is FANTASTIC and I am praying that God will really use this as an opportunity to show the secular media world that Good entertainment is a worthy investment. I hope that many people will see…
