I was going through marginal notes / verses that I had underlined in the book of Exodus yesterday and something really interesting popped out at me. Exodus… Read more “Where True Freedom Is Found”

Fudgee-O’s and the Confessions of A Sugaholic!
When I got up on the platform on Sunday morning I never really dreamed that I would be THAT honest about how vulnerable I was to temptation!… Read more “Fudgee-O’s and the Confessions of A Sugaholic!”
When God says, “Don’t preach.”
I’ve been trying to figure out how best to write down my thoughts about what happened at Evangel Church this past Sunday. I thought that if wrote… Read more “When God says, “Don’t preach.””
Get Over It!
I think we all have things in our life that we wished we had never done. Mistakes. Bad choices. Failed attempts to do the right thing.
But too often we hang the mantle of our purpose on the coat rack of our past instead of discovering the potential of our purpose by wearing it with courage and conviction.
At least that’s how I see it,

PS – Here is a clip from Kerry’s message a couple of weeks ago addressing this very thing. Enjoy.
Coming Home Is Always Shorter
This past Sunday I sat and listened to Kerry give her testimony… her “Love Story” as she called it. I had never heard the story of the Prodigal Son that way before. It still is affecting me almost a week later.
We often focus on how ‘far’ we have moved away from God rather than how ‘close’ we are able to come back. We forget that He is waiting for us to return back to Him and then starts running to ‘meet us’. HE is the one who shortens the journey back to Him.
At least that’s how I see it,

PS – We launched a new series for our YouTube Channel called “McK and Mike” and we continued the conversation from Sunday. If you want to hear Kerry’s message you can click on this link right here. Enjoy.
New Day… New Reasons
Love requires action. It is never intended to be a noun between two people but a verb.
Today, I thought I would share some thoughts on how my love has changed over the years.
Enjoy.
Which Man Will I Be Today?
I have to be honest with you. I have personal pep talks every day.
No, I don’t look in the mirror and yell “YOU CAN DO IT!!!!” like some crazed Rob Schneider with a sombrero on my head! No, every day I need to remind myself of who I am, and Whose I am.
I know each day (each moment actually), I can be one of two men: the man whose desires are momentary and probably self-seeking, or the man whose desires are to honour and serve the One who loves me and has purposed a greater life in me.
So I choose (or at least attempt to choose) the man who God desires me to be… knowing that He who has done GREAT things in my life, has planned even GREATER if I choose to follow Him.
At least that’s how I see it,

Stop Living On The Coast
Coasting is living on borrowed power. It’s deciding to allow the momentum of the past to get you through where you are right now and in the not-too-distant future.
But coasting cannot sustain itself. Friction, resistance, and gravity (all analogies of daily life) will consume quickly all that you’ve worked towards and slow you down… to the point where regaining momentum will actually be harder than simply keep going.
So keep going. Keep pedalling. Make today count. Don’t rely on yesterday to make your today.
“I Did It My Way” Wasn’t A Worship Song
A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind… Read more ““I Did It My Way” Wasn’t A Worship Song”
The Recipe For Great Churches
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. (1Corinthians 12:13 NIV) It’s a great concept to read. It’s… Read more “The Recipe For Great Churches”
