Yesterday we had John Waller in concert at Sherwood. John is best known for his song While I’m Waiting, which was a key song in Fireproof. John did an excellent job of communicating through music and during his “set up” for a few of the songs. One thing I like about John is he has that ability to talk without talking too much. (Singers should sing. Preachers should preach. Preachers shouldn’t sing…period.) John beautifully shares his heart and the background of a song in a concert setting. Continue reading “Transparency”

The Weeks Ahead
The days in which we live could cause one to be anxious. We find ourselves unsure about domestic policies, foreign policies and the economy. We don’t know if the bailouts are going to work.

These people are speaking with the foolish wisdom of man. Any solution will be temporary. Any hope will be fleeting. Continue reading “The Answer Is Not in Government, It’s in God”
God Is Working!
You would have to be blind not to see the hand of God right now. It’s everywhere and seems to be in everything. Nationally, the financial crisis is making people ask, “Is there more to life than my retirement plan? What will happen in the days ahead?” God is allowing a crisis to force us to look to Christ. The government can’t save us. The president can’t soothe our fears. Only God can give us peace that passes understanding. Continue reading “God Is Working!”
