THE ORPHAN AGE: May 2015

Loners learning about community. Saturday, May 30, 2015. TRUTH IN A PIGPEN. There’s nothing like wallowing with pigs to bring you to your senses. The Jewish boy was raised to see the pig as an unclean animal. He was not to eat pork or even get close to an unclean animal. But, when your heart is drifting from God you wind up kissing more than a few pigs. Your insatiable hunger and poverty lead you to unclean places where you consider eating pig food just to get by. Daniel Webster said,. Daniel Webster (17...

Loners learning about community. Thursday, February 26, 2015. THE SPIRIT SATURATED CHURCH. Have you been baptized in the Holy Spirit? Have you received God’s promised Spirit presence? Has the power of God clothed you in spite of your weakness and nakedness? There is an experience of the Holy Spirit that can be described as a baptism. Before you were dry and lacked power. After the coming of the Holy Spirit, the church was alive and empowered to do the works of Jesus. Welcome the Holy Spirit when you pray...

Loners learning about community. Monday, June 29, 2015. THE BLESSING IN YOUR HISTORY. 6 Solomon answered, "You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. Solomon knew that his father David was ‘ a man after God’s own heart. Or perhaps you grew up without a family to look back upon. If they were godless, rebellious, d...

Loners learning about community. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. THE BOWL OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. After the Lord’s Table, Jesus is found at another table. This time there is a man who chooses to follow his caution instead of a Saviour. Pilate’s table has a washbasin called ‘ the bowl of political correctness’. At the end of the day, Pilate is a politician whose security depends on the will of the people more than the will of God. 21The governor asked, "Which of the two do you want me to pardon? He washed ...

Loners learning about community. Monday, June 30, 2014. PONDERINGS OF A PENITENT PASTOR. Can I be honest as a pastor? As one called to oversee the house, I get concerned. In many churches including my own, there are more takers than givers. I find myself giving account to God and saying that we are not taking care of the next generation in the house. We don’t always clean up after ourselves and we do not prepare the house adequately for the Master’s dwelling. I want to tell God about the sacrificial way ...

Loners learning about community. Sunday, September 28, 2014. YOU WILL NOT SEE ME. Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”. At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’? They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? Links to this post. Faith is a two-sided...

Loners learning about community. Friday, August 29, 2014. BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. Karl Vaters wrote a great little book that I should probably read. It’s called ‘ The Grasshopper Myth’. He makes an interesting premise about how we view ourselves. 90% of the churches in the world have less than 200 people. What if that's not a bad thing? What if smallness is an advantage God wants us to use, not a problem to fix? The solution is for Small Churches to see themselves the way God sees the...

You select a verse and reflect on it over and over in your mind.if you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate.

Loners learning about community. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”. The majority of people that Jesus personally knew would live a full lifespan, raise a family and die common deaths. Jesus was not in the majority. He submitted to God’s plan in a way that made him unique from most other people. In what ways are you a minority? Links to this post.
