Matt Valantine: spoiled
http://mattvalantine.blogspot.com/2009/03/spoiled.html
A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Thursday, March 5, 2009. A 1 year old baby boy who wakes up at 12:30am and gets daddy to stay awakewith him for 2 hours is probably spolied. At least i got to catch up on some TIVO'd shows. remember life before TIVO? I faintly do. it's amazing how accustomed (spoiled) we have bcome with the latest technology. How have you become spoiled in life? Compared to people who lived 100 or 1000 years ago? What is the common thread of all these things?

Matt Valantine: a simple teaching
http://mattvalantine.blogspot.com/2009/01/simple-teaching.html
A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Wednesday, January 14, 2009. God has been reminding me of 2 simple lessons in 2009 for success as i serve Him with my life:. 1) a pure heart. 2) a desperation for Him. When it comes to having a pure heart, I believe God is looking for people who are willing to deny the desires of their flesh day after day, moment after moment. we all face temptation. we all battle the enemy in this area. are we winning more than we are losing? Find someone to...

Matt Valantine: August 2008
http://mattvalantine.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Friday, August 29, 2008. What is the deal with allergies? For those few days when the polen count is at it's highest, why do we suffer so much? Is there anything worse than sneezing your head off and a constant drip like the Chinese Water torture from your nose? I am in Youngstown today visiting family. nash was up at 6:45am . . . o the joys of babies! Only 9 more days till the season starts. What difference will you make in the world today?

Matt Valantine: July 2008
http://mattvalantine.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Thursday, July 31, 2008. As i sit at the kitchen table this beautiful Thursday morning, my son, Nash, is waving to me. i'm not sure why he waves so much, but he definitely enjoys when you wave back to him or smile. the wave is an amazing thing . . . there he goes again, this time with more force and emotion. Doesn't everybody deserve a wave or a head nod? We are particular though about who receives these from us, aren't we? This means waving ...

Matt Valantine: March 2009
http://mattvalantine.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. It doesn't always "feel" like a dream, but i am truly LIVING THE DREAM! What i get to do/what i am blessed with:. When i first met my father-in-law, Joe Cotter, and discovered that he thanks God every time he prays - for breath and another day of life - at first, it sounded odd, but now that i am over 30, i realize how important those things are. i mean, without them, we are dead, right? It's a crazy ride, being DAD.

A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Monday, June 30, 2008.

Matt Valantine: the fight we really need to be fighting
http://mattvalantine.blogspot.com/2009/06/fight-we-really-need-to-be-fighting.html
A blog by the lead pastor of Lifepoint Church in Delaware, OH. Friday, June 26, 2009. The fight we really need to be fighting. SIN vs. GOD. Isn't this the endless battle being fought in the supernatural realm? Good vs. evil. ligh vs. darkness. How much energy do you spend trying to fight against the sin tendencies in your life? How much energy do you spend fighting to get closer to God? How's that working for you? I've been there and it can get frustrating. I need to sweep my house clean of sin (don't mi...
