Having a Heart with Integrity

Last updated on: June 10, 2018 at 10:23 pm By Jim Erwin

Having a Heart with Integrity “A Davidic psalm. I will sing of faithful love and justice; I will sing praise to You, Lord. I will pay attention to the way of integrity. When will You come to me? I will live with a heart of integrity in my house. I will not set anything worthless before my eyes. I hate the practice of transgression; it will not cling to me. A devious heart will be far from me; I will... Read more

Mark 6:30-44 My Burden for Lost People

Last updated on: June 1, 2018 at 10:19 pm By Jim Erwin

Mark 6:30-44 My Burden for Lost People Officer Tori Matthews of the Southern California Humane Society got an emergency call: a boy’s pet iguana had been scared up a tree by a neighbor’s dog. It then fell from the tree into a swimming pool, where it sank like a brick. Officer Matthews came with her net. She dived into the pool, emerging seconds later with the pet’s limp body. As the Arizona Republic (2/14/95) reported, she thought, Well, you do... Read more

Ecclesiastes 7:8-10 Git-R-Done

Last updated on: June 10, 2018 at 9:04 pm By Jim Erwin

Ecclesiastes 7:8-10 Git-R-Done I want to share with you a principle that we all have to learn and do. This principle is also my vision for the church for the next couple of months. To quote the imminent theologian Larry the Cable Guy, it is “git-r-done.” Let’s say that together: “git-r-done.” The Bible teaches that we should learn to git-r-done. It teaches that “gittering-done” is the best thing we can do. “The end of a matter is better than its... Read more

We Need a New Way to Give Thanks

We Need a New Way to Give Thanks “A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Acknowledge that Yahweh is God. He made us, and we are His — His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For Yahweh is good, and His love is eternal; His faithfulness... Read more

I Need to Make a Sacrifice

Last updated on: June 10, 2018 at 8:57 pm By Jim Erwin

I Need to Make a Sacrifice Araunah said to David, “My lord the king may take whatever he wants and offer it. Here are the oxen for a burnt offering and the threshing sledges and ox yokes for the wood. My king, Araunah gives everything here to the king.” Then he said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.” The king answered Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you for a price, for I will...

Overcoming My Spiritual Weaknesses

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 11:20 pm By Jim Erwin

Overcoming My Spiritual Weaknesses Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about doubtful issues. (Romans 14:1 HCSB) When Paul defines “weak in faith”, he is not talking about physical weaknesses such as disabilities. He is not talking about weakness as an opposite to physical strength. He is using a word that could be translated immature. Unlike Paul’s phrase “strong in weakness” in 2 Corinthians, Paul calls some people in the church the “weaker” brother. He means to... Read more

Godly Ecology

Godly Ecology A Davidic psalm. The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the LORD; (Psalms 24:1 HCSB) REDUCE – is defined in ecology as pollution reduction. But in God’s ecology, we should reduce our sin production. RE-USE – God wants me to re-use my talents and gifts. God has SHAPEd me to be used by Him, and then He wants to re-use me. We might buy something and use it one time, and then... Read more

The Role of the Government

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 10:50 pm By Jim Erwin

The Role of the Government “For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong.” (Romans 13:4, HCSB) Government serves God’s purposes. What are God’s purposes for the government? It serves a two-fold purpose. First, the government is for my good. How can that be? Government is good for... Read more

God’s Time Limit on Evangelism

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 10:38 pm By Jim Erwin

God’s Time Limit on Evangelism “So that you will not be conceited, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery: A partial hardening has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.” (Romans 11:25, HCSB) God’s time limit on evangelism.

A God Who Is Invisible, But Seen

Last updated on: June 9, 2018 at 9:50 pm By Jim Erwin

A God Who Is Invisible, But Seen “For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse. For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.” (Romans 1:20–21, HCSB) A God who is invisible, but seen. God... Read more
