WLPO radio broadcast labeled "whoa" & "woe"



I like play on words that give us a visual of what needs to happen.  When Jesus says "woe" to the Pharisees and experts in the law, it is a picture of pulling back on the reins (whoa) of the direction they were going spiritually and also leading others to do the same.  What will you do when you feel the tug of the reins from Jesus?  --Adam--

A simple man serving a great God and the local pastor of Stillwater Community Chapel (stillwater-chapel.org). We are in our 39th year of full time ministry. God directed us to this local body of believers on the Western Range of the Rockies to grow with them in mission and mindedness of Christ.

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 ...

Spring is showing its face...Matthew 28:1-10..."He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said."

  See the bike in the foreground?  Pumped up the tires and have been making trips to town and back a couple times now.  The mountain in the background is locally called Mount Baldy but officially Mount Craig.  The bridge is over the canal between Shadow Mountain Lake and Grand Lake.  A lot of wedding pictures are taken here.  I am itching to get up into the mountains and see the roaring waterfalls and the beautiful springtime mountain flowers. Another Easter/Resurrection Service has come and gone.  Covering the same material each year can be a challenge at times and especially when you are in front of some of the same people.  Thankfully there are typically visitors on this special Sunday from the area and from afar.  Last year I handled the whole of Matthew 28 and focused on which story we were following.  Was it the pre-made  cover-up story fueled by a bribe from the religious leaders to the soldiers that the disciples overtook ...

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

Image
  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...
