The title song from a MercyMe album came to mind today. “The Generous Mr. Lovewell.” I have included a video of the song with lyrics so you can take a few minutes and ponder the story behind the song. This song was never a hit, but it should have been in my opinion. Enjoy. Loving well is an art form. And it’s a…

You’ve quite possibly heard about the Law of the Harvest as regards reaping and sowing in the Kingdom of God. I’ve even heard it taught that there are quite possibly seven such laws that govern the area of giving. For an exhaustive study, see:Â https://bible.org/article/seven-laws-harvest As Advancement Director…

OK. I’ll admit it. I have a habit of losing things. Sunglasses and ball caps are the worst. Usually I can keep track of small things in my pocket as long as there’s not a hole in it. But I love to wear ball caps and they serve a dual purpose for men like me when it gets cold because we need something to keep our “wig wam”…

For me, to “live intentionally” means to prioritize how I spend my time and my energy. The older I get, the more I need to carefully monitor this. Can you relate? It’s just that as my days increase, I’m more aware that my energy level isn’t what it used to be and therefore, I must make time for family and…

Do you ever wonder why some people walk away from God when the storms of life come their way? I’m convinced that more than a few have walked away because when they were first formulating concepts about who God is and how he relates to his children, they were led to believe that if they would just surrender their life to Jesus and…

The Countdown Can you hear a clock ticking? Feeling something in the air? Can it be anticipation? Of another Fall Share? Recounting His blessings. Celebrating His deeds. Our part is simply, to respond as He leads. Ok, I never said I was a poet but I thought I’d write a little something to get us in the mood. 🙂 Fall share held each…

Over time, we have learned that it’s a good practice to periodically ask the Lord if he wants us to make any changes in the amount of our giving to the organizations we support. The problem is that it’s so easy to live our lives and forget about reviewing our stewardship promises. For example, when I started giving to Life…

Some people are “gluttons for acknowledgement.” They can’t get enough. They live for kudos. Can you relate? Then there are those who love to give of themselves and would be equally happy if they never receive an earthly reward of any type. The person I am about to “acknowledge” is like this. In fact,…

Psalm 144:1 says, “Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.” Are you ready for battle? Â Only God knows what each of us need to do battle according to Ephesians 6:12. What I do know for sure is that I need the presence of the Holy Spirit to be my helper – my “trainer”…

I remember when taking a vacation in the summer meant riding roller coasters, water skiing, binge watching movies every night, eating anything I wanted and doing it again the next day until Dad said it was time to leave and go home.
