Black Friday

What do we need?  Apparently, we need a lot of stuff by watching all the people get up in the middle of the night or camp out for days at a time.   Deals to be had for Christmas gifts and things for themselves at bargain prices seem to be the motivation.  

Millions of us watch what seems to be extraordinary behavior.  How do people wait in these lines with patience at 5:00 a.m.?   What motivates people?    It is obvious the retail industry has it figured out.

I believe there are some valuable lessons to be learned about Black Friday.    What can we do to be motivated toward pursuing Christ in such a manner?   How can we stir the hearts of others to be motivated to go through so many different obstacles?

I don't know all the answers but I believe we do have some important lessons to learn from merchants all across America.

Moving Forward With Passion

This morning I just finished watching a documentary on Netflix of Martin Luther.  Luther's passion for God and for the truth to be told to the world changed the course of human history.  Many followers of Christ have been inspired to new heights by studying Luther through the years.

I realize that many of us will never take time to sit down and read a book on Luther.  However, I can recommend that you watch Netflix and you can take it all in at a very low cost.  You can find this documentary and many others on a sample subscription at http://www.netflix.com.  

My prayer is God fills you with passion today to change the world around you.

My prayer is that this web site will be God honoring and very practically helpful in your every day lives.
