Joy

The joy that is in Jesus is not conditional. A lot of times we might feel happy or feel sad, but the neat thing with joy is it transcends our emotions. Let us rejoice in the joy of Jesus!

Be God's Vessel

When we are believers, we have the Holy Spirit living in us. Let us go out and let ourselves be used by God. We are His vessels, and He wants us to show the world that we have His Spirit living inside of us. Let us go and show His love. Let us represent Him. Let us be God's vessel.

Presidential Address

Saw the Presidential Address. I think it interesting that he used a lot of specific examples that were relevant. That is something that is important in preaching: using illustrations that are going to apply to people's lives. Showing how the Word of God applies to people's lives. In-depth doctrine in a sermon might be theologically sound, but it might not be the most relevant to what is going on in people's lives. Like the head pastors at I.B.C. would say, people need a "now" word. The prophets who spoke in the Old Testament were giving a "now" word. They were speaking what God was wanting to say to them about that time, and also about the future. It might not have been pleasant, but it was practical. Being relevant is so important.

I.B.C. Website

The website for Inspiration Bible Church is www.inspirationbiblechurch.com. Pastors Greg and Starlene Martin are the head pastors. I.B.C. is a great church! Church is on Sunday at 10 A.M. and Wednesday at 7 P.M.

Why wait?

Why wait for God to do something in your life? Now is the time to be used! Do not let life pass you by, and you come to the end of it, wishing you had let God use you to the fullest. Now is the time to stop holding back, and letting God just flow through you. Do not wait! You have nothing to lose, and all to gain. Why wait?

God is amazing!

When you stop and think about, God is so incredibly amazing! He made all of the billions of stars in the sky, all the creatures in the sea, all the land animals, all the plants, and He made...us! As amazing as everything is that God has made, we are special and unique! For believers, we can rejoice that we are forgiven and set free! God truly is amazing!

The Simple Things In Life

Saw a couple of "My Three Sons" episodes tonight with my mom and dad and sisters. We also had ice cream! Those episodes are such classics! I like the simple things in life.

Salvation

Nothing is more important than a relationship with Jesus. A person came to know Jesus at church today! The Bible says that the angels rejoice when one person comes to Jesus. If the angels rejoice, we should rejoice too!

Quote

There is a quote from Pastors Greg and Starlene Martin at Inspiration Bible Church used in a sermon series a couple months ago that I really like--"I am anointed on a level that this world is not familiar with." If you really think about that, that will change your life. If you are a believer, you can know that you have the anointing of God on you. You can walk in His anointing. Wow!

Twitter and Church

I joined Twitter. Twitter is a good idea!

Church was great today at Inspiration Bible Church. My uncle and aunt are amazing pastors! I am the Assistant Pastor there, which means I do a variety of things there. The church is located at 3939 North Pearl Street in Tacoma.
