dead white guys

it's exciting to sort of preview what's coming this sunday,i am never quite sure how Travis is going to present the latest "dead white guy" to us.
so i hit the wikipedia trail (it's like being in the woods with so many trails you can get lost fairly easily) to check him out,Charles Spurgeon.
the most amazing to me was the simplest to learn of yet it has become one of the most widely used tool in bring the Good News to people around the globe.
so check this out, it is awesome!!

this is where you can read what these three colors are about!

Son Day@Life Pointe

i think this will be my new title for the sunday worship,because it is all about Him.
this week we ended an all too short series called consumed(and yes i didn't post anything last week,shame on me).that's because this is probably one message series that as a christian, defines our very lives,whose we are and why we are.all i really mean is that worship of the Jesus the Son,and God the Father are such a force in our lives that i wonder why i just not always in a state of worship,but then from Pastor Paul came a rewarding and enlighting message last week august 10,2008.we are always in a state of worship as we live a life that honors Jesus,and really even that means when we're as human as anyone else,we do shine before the world because we can express what it means to be forgiven.
Paul has shown us the importance of worship, who we should worship and how we need to worship.
and today was a completion of(let me mention it again, the all too short) series "consumed" and the world renown, pastor jesse.jesse i really mean you're as laid back as joel osteen is,you have a real gift of relaxing us right into the truth of God's word.yet today there was an excitement as the meaning of worship was being pictured not only in our lives but in your life of music.
thank you jesse, i am always love it when you're on the podium.
i only regret is that the worship service wasn't last,because i was charged up for one.yet there was made by the Spirit to me a way,i know that there were others back in the second service and the presence of the Spirit was so moving that it became a worship time after jesse's message.

Sunday@Life Pointe

What a peculiar Jesus we have,one wouldn't have thought that the sunday service could or would begin at 11pm saturday. Of course it was time to end the day and lay down for the night and sleep yet,here i lay thinking of a old children's pray,now i lay me down to sleep.... . what's this really about? am i worried about my soul, no, my confidence is in He who promised that my soul was his to keep,about not awakening in the morning?not! even if it so,it's well with me now at this very moment. we can take this up later ok.
beep,beep beep goes the alarm it's 6am, i get up feeling rested,then i think oh wow i actually slept 7 hours straight through.ty Jesus (i really didn't realize that today Pastor Trav was going to deal anxiety).
off to the coffee pot,i still need my morning eye opener,so there i am standing in kitchen just waiting for the coffee maker to finish,when my daughter Esther wanders in, eyes half shut,she mutters,"what am you doing here,aren't you late for work or are you going in late",i said "no i not late and yea i am going to work(i know it's sunday and my real job awaits me) late"(well later than the usual and i thinking yea, now that is a job i could do 24/7).so i gave her another then she figured out it wasn't monday :-)
ok, coffee in hand, off to read a few blogs,see whats up,... oh crud!6:40 get r in gear boy, you are gonna be late!
7:3? i am here at Life Pointe,everyone is in full swing,Chris is vacuuming the carpet,carts are all out,Richie is busy with the booth and of course Anne is busy putting it all together.
ok, grab the flags,they are a priority,then its like off to the races,whoosh goes the time,somewhere in between i look up and i am thinking "where did all these people come from? ty Jesus.
8:46 everything looks gtg(good to go)but i stumbling with the software on the laptop for the booth,i look for Paul..."Paul,help me..." gtg.i mean if i am anxious on any given sunday today is a good example.
The worship was as outstanding as the Spirit of God could ever make it.(besides any thing else for me to add would not do justice to what He was doing here today,there was a flow from Him and i knew He was doing incredible things in the hearts of His people and me).
Then the real bomb drops,todays teaching,sermon,message anxiety in our lives,just so i don't mess with what the Spirit wants to say to the Church,check it out here,

July 4 with friends in Homestead
