Pride Affliction Reaction Meekness
We had a good sermon Sunday by Don Whitney which essentially covered the topic of faith, and unanswered prayer. Paul was leading worship this Sunday and made the comment during the service about meekness, and then followed up by sending this out. Meekness toward God is that disposition of spirit in which we accept His [...]
Undetected Spiritual Pride – Blind Perspective
It has been one crazy summer, things have seemed a bit more dis-jointed than normal, perhaps an understatement as we see our country fall apart, the church at large has shared in it’s share of trials as well. It is always good to reflect on this from time to time. Note the word “Undetected” This [...]
Is Christ My Treasure…. ask yourself?
In the past few years I have grown in “size” and I have wrestled with weight. I have recognized idolatry in my life. So often it seems give a hard time to those whoare addicted to substance, and the drunken, but we indulge and make place for gluttony, especially in our SBC roots. This little [...]
All the Advance09 Messages
I’m not exactly sure what Advance 09 is, I looked around on the Desiring God Website to find out information about Advance 09 and it just points me to the messages! I have listened to several of them. They are powerful messages about the Church. I have been convicted, and challenged personally. I have just [...]
What’s Happening In The North East This Summer
Lots has been happening in the North East Kansas City, Crime is on the rise at least in our zip code of 64123 and we’ve felt it personally.

Where are the Christians ?
The Prince of this world is seemingly everywhere (Satan), and while we are often contending for the faith, and I do believe we mustn’t compromise truth, I see that the world is ravaging the people faster and faster, as people seem to be falling into the fiery pit of hell, and yet we as Christians [...]
Worldiness – God, My Heart, & Music
This week we begin and end with Chapter three which discusses God, My Heart & Music. I must confess at the onset of this chapter it will be some that will appeal to some and to others it may not have the same affect. For some “Music” is a hold on their life and their [...]
Worldiness:Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World (Chapter 2)
This morning I stayed home with my children from church because my daughter had a sore throat. I actually watched our live video feed of the sermon on line. It was a powerfully delivered sermon and I was blessed to be able to stay home and still attend church over the media of the Internet. [...]

Mahaney and is authored by a several of Sovereign Grace Ministries ministers including Bob Kauflin. I have only begun [...]
Bloody Disgust “Do you know that when you eat meat, something had to die for you to live?”
Do you remember “The Passion of the Christ” by Mel Gibson? There was a point in the movie I remember asking myself, was it really that bloody. I’ve watched some secular movies, mostly back before I had been born again, that were graphic yet less bloody than the Passion of the Christ. I remember for [...]
