A great Facebook post after the sermon this Sunday...

     Just a short post of something someone posted on Facebook after the sermon this Sunday.  I think it is very relevant to the message of the progression of sin.
"Set one foot on the slope of compromise
and you'll find the rest of the downhill slide
quick and easy."

     Thanks Becky!!!!

The Big Feed...Matthew 14:13-21...Life around Jesus' table

Image
  This isn't 5,000 men plus women and children as in the passage last Sunday but this is our 5,000+ for the week.  It is amazing to be all around the table at once.  There are now 20 of us.  We have went from addition to multiplication in our family as each of our 4 children are now having their families.  Our 2 year reunions have been highlights of our lives and this one was spent in Colorado.  This picture featured the 20 rainbow trout the grandchildren caught at a local kids' fishing pond. Jesus is going to present 2 amazing events back to back for his disciples.  In this big feed they are ready to pass off the responsibility to someone else.  They tell Jesus to send the crowd away and their solution is that those people can fend for themselves.  They use the word " only " and calculate what was possible with the money they may have had.  The disciples were identifying and pointing at the need but they were not going to get involved ...

Am I asleep to Jesus' presence?...Matthew 17:1-13...Falling in love again with His words.

  The Never Summer Mountain Range is behind me.  It is always amazing to me how people will respond more quickly to a picture than to the text.  I updated our Facebook cover photo and profile picture and people are responded left and right to it.  I do not get as much response when I print text to the same group of people.  I think this bears true with the response to video presentations of the Bible over just the written text of the Bible.  But since we don't have actual video footage of Jesus (sorry Chosen) I feel it is important to not just rely on someone's artistic presentation of the text but to read it for ourselves.  The question would be, "Am I reading more than I am watching when it comes to God's words?" I have purposely not used much video in my preaching opportunities because video will steal the show, no pun intended, to the actual passage we are looking at.  I think we need to train ourselves again to rely on what we are reading rat...

A new chapter - Matthew 14:1-12 - JTB returns and the fate of 2 kings

  Doesn't she look like a true mountain woman eating here bison/cranberry jerky?  This is a recent trip up to Lulu City on the Colorado River Trail that was only in existence for 5 years and the population of 200.  Only 3 sides of one cabin remains.  For awhile it was just us and the wildlife on the trail but this is the time of the year when people migrate to the park. We love family.  My brother and his wife, Tom and Tammy, swung into Grand Lake for a couple of days and also shared a worship experience at SCC.  This was the trek up from the Alpine Visitor Center to get our photo at the sign.  Seek to keep family ties strong.  Seek to restore them if they have been severed.  Pull out the super glue and piece it back together.  With both mom and dad gone now, my next connection to them are my siblings who carry on similar experiences of our time on Lehman Road so many years ago.   We ventured into chapter 14 of Matthew this pas...
