Treadesk???

I once heard a preacher say that two of the biggest problems in the United States are consumer debt and obesity.  Problem solved with the Steelcase’s Walkstation!  This genius invention marries desk and treadmill together so one can work to pay off their consumer debt while shedding pounds!  

 

What do you think?  Maybe the government has it all wrong and this is the solution to our problems.

Where’s Our Focus: Part 3

I recently went to my optometrist because I was seeing a little blurry black dot in my vision coming from my left eye (later found out to be a “floater” and not really a big deal).  It’s  interesting how such a small out-of-focus speck distracts me from my work and is the focal point of my attention even amidst all the clarity of my vision.  I thought about how this parallels with sin in my life.  Even the “smallest” sin seems to distract me from my spiritual growth.  Sin causes me to be distracted from what I should be focusing on, the clarity of God’s Word and HIS goodness around me.

This has challenged me to examine my life and to see what sin is “floating” around that causes a distraction from my growth in Christ.  What is my little black blurry dot in my life?

Oh how HE loves me

Ted Haggard to Speak at Elevation Church

Ted Haggard, former pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, and his wife Gayle are scheduled to be interviewed on stage at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC this Sunday.  Ted became the attention of the media after his scandal involving homosexual acts and the use of meth was reveiled.  So, why would Elevation Church bring Ted and Gayle in?  See why the church decided to do this while watching Pastor Furtick’s interview on Fox Charlotte’s Rising.  Also, Elevation Church created this website to explain why the church would have them interviewd in front of the congregation.  If you are in the area, you probably should drop by one of the church’s 8 services.  See times and locations here.

My Sheep Listen to My Voice

During the Feast of Dedication, the Jews confronted Jesus and asked Him when he was going to tell them if He was in fact the Christ.  Jesus replied:

“I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.  My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.” – John 10:25-30

First of all, do you believe?  Are you one of Jesus’ sheep?  If you aren’t or unsure, please take a moment to read this.  I would hate for you to read this post and not know how you too can have a personal relationship with the Living God.

Followers of Jesus Christ:  What a powerful passage!  We are to listen to His voice, his instructions and obey.  This is what His sheep do.  Jesus knows His children personally and we are in His hands.  How comforting is this??  That the God (“I and the Farther are one” – vs 30) of the universe has our back!  No one can snatch us away from Him.  We are protected by His mighty hand.  Remember this as you go through struggles of many kinds and the encouragement that comes from knowing that we have been given eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.  Keep your mind on heavenly things not on earthly things ”where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” (Mt. 6:19b)

“My sheep listen to my voice”

Elevation’s Easter Opening Video

Check out this slam poet video (first one on the page) by Elevation Church.  Awesome.

Blessed, what have you done this week?

God has blessed me so much, but I find myself thinking I deserve it.  I fall into the deceptive thought that it’s because of what I’ve  done.  It’s not what I’ve done, it’s what God has done and given me.  I could have just as easily been born in a third-world country and struggle each and every day just to stay alive.  But rather, I am here and have what I have only because of God’s mercy.

I continue to challenge myself to share the blessings of our great God.  What have I done recently for those around me?  What have I done for those who are less fortunate.  This could be sponsoring a child in need or as simple as picking up a friend’s meal.

What have you done for somebody this week?  What will you do next week?

If you are blessed, bless back.
