I don’t normally write a blog on Sunday evening, but I just could not resist taking a few moments to share a few thoughts from what God had to say to the Northwood Family today!

Do You Get It? I really hope that each of us are beginning to grasp this amazing reality that God loves us.  I am convinced that when we really get a hold of God’s love, it will get a hold of us and change our lives and the way that we are living them!

God Has Done His Part! He loves us!  He has proved it and proves it again and again – everyday of our lives.  We don’t have to wonder if He loves us.  Just open your eyes and look around, you can see His love all around you.  Just open your ears, you can hear God’s love all around you.  Just open your heart, you can feel God’s love flowing to and through you!

It Is Time For Us To Do Our Part! Our part is loving God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength!  (Mark 12:30 & Matthew 22:37-38)  We have a choice to make!  It is easy to say that we love God, but it has to be more than talk!  God is not looking for “pretend love”.  God is looking for the real deal!

You Have A Decision To Make! What are you going to do with God’s love?  Do not assume anything and do not take anything for granted when it comes to God’s love!  Most people in our churches are wasting the love of God.  If we really had it and were sharing it, then our churches, communities and world would be a very different place!

Coming Up! Tomorrow I will share some questions that we asked ourselves on Sunday morning.  Questions that help us to examine ourselves to see who we are and if our relationship is real or fake?  Until then, take some time tonight and tomorrow morning to talk with and listen to God – You can hear, feel and know His love in a very real way!  God Bless, Press On And Give God Glory!

I am very excited about our services tomorrow at both of our campuses.  I believe that we have an incredible opportunity in front of us to take some giant spiritual steps that will advance us and our church in the work of the Kingdom!

Remember The Time Change! It is time to spring forward!  That means that the hour that we gained at the last time change will have to be given back at this time change.  I don’t like having to give up this hour, but I do love the longer days.  If you go ahead and change your clocks and watches now – you will be an hour ahead for the rest of the day and on time tomorrow!

Praying For Great Things! I believe that God is up to some amazing things in the life and ministry of Northwood.  Please join me in praying that we will be open and willing to follow God’s lead.  Looking forward to God’s awesome work!

SMILE! I am smiling!  Are you?  Remember:  Smile – God Loves You!  Share It!

This morning I woke up thinking about “Life’s Simple Pleasures!”  You know those little things that help to make our days special, but that we often take for granted.  One of life’s simple pleasures for me is getting to walk my daughter into school every morning.  We hold hands, I walk her to her classroom door, give her a spin, a kiss on the head and remind her to FOCUS!  I know that the day will come, when I will not be able to do this, but right now I can and she let’s me and it is a simple pleasure that means more than most can know!

Life is full of simple pleasures! Take a little time today to think about some of the simple pleasures that God has filled your life with and also take a little time to thank Him for those pleasures!

Have A Great Weekend! I hope that you have a great weekend!  Don’t forget about the time change!  And if you don’t have a place to worship – you always have a standing invitation to join me at one of the two Northwood Campuses!  God Bless, Press On and G3!  (GIVE GOD GLORY!)
