Getting Away From It All

In a world where everything from cell phones to pagers and people to parties compete for your attention it is vital that we "Get Away From It All" to be alone with God. That was the subject of the talk I gave this week at the HSI Communities and even as I gave it I realized I was onto the most tranformational subject since the Discipleship Program years ago. To be like Jesus we have to do the things he did, live the kind of lifestyle that he did.

Taming the Tongue

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be (James 3:9-10). We looked at how to tame our tongues this week.

Discipleship Program in St. Michael's Church, Sharjah

The three day Discipleship Program concluded in St. Michael's Church, Sharjah today. The church was packed. The audience was responsive. The anointing was huge. The parish priest was appreciative. And I was pleased, although Bob Dylan sang "Blowing in the Wind" to me for the rest of the night!

The God Possessed

Once God touches us, he possesses us. When he possesses us, he preserves us. Then he uses us. That was the essence of the talk on being God possessed, which is what all of us are. Unfortunately, most of us spend our time talking about being possessed by the devil. He is a defeated enemy!
