Another John Weekly Message

How long before you hear the rooster?

Isaac Watts may have said it best when he wrote: Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

But as we allow Spirit's work to make sin less clingy, we are able to fully devote our lives to the glory of God. 

Make the most of every opportunity to bring others to the Savior. 

"To worship the Lord is--in the world's eyes--a waste of time."

imply put, God wants his beloved children to want to live as beloved children of God.

If you don't expect that from me, what kind of godly fellowship do we truly have?

It may seem foolish to some to keep praying, to keep giving and to keep proclaiming God's goodness. 

Here's a little secret I've learned to get out of the sales pitch.

When worship is more God-centered, we hunger for and need to hear whatever it is that God wants to speak to our heart. No matter how long it takes. 

Don't tell me what you hate. Show me how you love one another. Isn't that in the Bible somewhere?

If I were to pinpoint a moment I do regret it would be that day in the ICU room. 

Jesus doesn't tell us to keep that a secret any more.

Whoever prayed for the Colossians knew something important about our walk with God and our life on earth.

Ministry is important. But ministry is not God. Ministry doesn't set us free. God does.

We're free from sin, but that doesn't mean we can get away from the consequences of our disobedience.

It's pretty obvious we want a lot. And we want it now!

Now, I don't want to suggest knowing God's will is always easy. It's just not always as hard as we make it out to be.

The experiences they had, we have, too.

Social distancing cannot keep our faith apart!
