Daring to Live By Every Word Secrets to Successful Ministry: And a Tribute of ThanksHave you heard it said, "Don't sweat the small stuff, because, well, it's all small stuff?" At face value, that sounds like great advice. But what does that really mean? And how do you think Jesus handled the small tiny details of life? Were they important to Him? Did they matter? Did the little people in His life matter?? This week's podcast is a "tribute" of sorts to several people who have showed me how significant the small details of life are, and what it means to live for the glory of God even when no one is looking.

Daring to Live By Every Word Part 1 - Lessons on Forgiveness from an Arkansas Cow PastureHow do you respond when you've been wounded? Are you quick to forgive, or do you struggle letting things go. As I learned in my own life this past week, pride often gets in the way of forgiveness. Because pride feels the need to stand its ground. It feels the need to defend itself. It feels the need to make the other party suffer as we have suffered. And yet we are told, "If pride and selfishness were put aside, five minutes would solve most difficulties." All I can say is, "Lord forgive us for our pride and for being...

Word on Wednesday with John Mason Spirit Filled…? How are we to reach a world that insists there are no absolutes? In his recently released, Christians: The Urgent Case for Jesus in Our World, Dr. Greg Sheridan comments, ‘Popular culture has turned against God, especially against the Christian churches, and pretty often against Christians themselves, over the last 50 years’ (p.171). In Ephesians, chapter 5 verse 15, Paul the Apostle says to every generation of God’s people: Be careful how you live, not as unwise but as wise,… Commenting on these words, FF Bruce notes that Paul’s readers are ‘a small minority, and because of their dis...
