I want God to ignite my words with a match made in Heaven so that they burn in the heart of everyone who reads them or hears them, making them a furnace that spreads God’s warmth and light around the world.
Every day You pick Your own bouquet, Weeds That plant The seeds Of misery, Or flowers Of kindness And hope.
Filling your mind With bouquets of weeds Only succeeds In making you miserable.
Everyday Gather good thoughts Into a fragrant And beautiful bouquet Of inner peace And make it The centerpiece Of your mind.
In a balanced bouquet All the flowers Contribute to the beauty. One big sunflower, Towering over a crowd Of little pansies, Is an ineffective way To make a bouquet. May all God’s people Be allowed to share The beauty of their testimony When the body of Christ Gathers in His name.
I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia."
