Cody's Contemplations: October 2009

http://codyscontemplations.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1. Friday, October 9, 2009. Thursday, October 8, 2009. My good friend Beth has a blog called Bethism. Check it out here. On this blog she keeps a record of all the random awkward things that happen in her life. (And they are awkward! This was one of those days where lots of things decide to go wrong. All I can say is that if the Huskers lose tonight then I might scream! When all was said and done, I was really really...

Cody's Contemplations: July 2009

http://codyscontemplations.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1. Friday, July 24, 2009. This is the first of many random thoughts blogs. Ever since I was in high school, some of my friends and I used to try to have as random of conversations as possible. This consisted of piecing together the most random words and even creating some new words. Most of the time, the sentences made little to no sense at all. We had a ton of fun with this though! 3 Does clams has heads? 11 Yard gn...

Cody's Contemplations: Crazy Love - Chapter 10

http://codyscontemplations.blogspot.com/2011/01/crazy-love-chapter-10.html

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1. Thursday, January 6, 2011. Crazy Love - Chapter 10. I just finished Crazy Love (which is something that took me months longer than it should have) and loved it. Instead of summarizing the chapter, I just wanted to mention a few points that I thought were interesting and let you ponder on them. How we live our day is.how we live our lives." -Annie Dillard. What will people say about your life in heaven? An Attempt ...

Encouragement for the Christian Voter | Back to Basics

https://msnyder06.wordpress.com/2016/11/08/encouragement-for-the-christian-voter

Simple thoughts from a simple mind. A Tale of MOPS and Men. Encouragement for the Christian Voter. November 8, 2016. I’ve chosen to be quiet concerning politics and will continue to do so. But, I want to share something with those that are concerned about the results of tonight’s election. If you are a Christian, hear me…. Don’t sin and check your heart. Don’t sin and check your heart. In Luke 6, Jesus talks about what comes out of our mouth reflects where our heart is. What we do and say and who we ...

Cody's Contemplations: March 2010

http://codyscontemplations.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Psalm 19:1. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Okso I've come to the realization recently (with help from various people in my life) that I am a bad blogger. I rarely blog for a few reasons: 1) I am busy. (Lame excuse I know) 2) Sometimes I just don't have anything that I feel is "blog worthy." 3) When I do have time to blog, I find myself doing other things like playing online games or watching TV. Well folks, today is your lucky day!

theoquest: Preach Better Sermons

http://theoquest.blogspot.com/2012/03/preach-better-sermons.html

Who Made This Mess? Thursday, March 15, 2012. I'm watching a live conference put together by the people at Preaching Rocket. If you missed the webcast, here are some highlights (not complete notes or many quotes) from some of my favorite preachers (who are also still learning). Communicating for A Change. Andy Stanley (great book for communicators). 40 messages per year. How do you decide what to say? Read to hear from God, not to find sermons. Preach out of the overflow of your heart. Park in one passag...

Are between the ages of 13 and 19. While I'd argue that many of them. It's awesome to see the church recognizing God's work in young lives on this scale. Sign up today, and check out groundSWELL.

theoquest: What's My Mission?

http://theoquest.blogspot.com/p/some-thoughts-on-student-ministry.html

Who Made This Mess? Student ministry is about God shaping young lives. In 11 years of student ministry I have never changed a young person's heart. But I have been privileged to see what happens when adolescents begin to love God with all their heart and soul and mind and strength. He changes everything. I want to do everything I can to reveal God to students. And watch Him work. Cups of cold water for the thirsty. As they grasp the power of Jesus, I want to see students living their own lives on a m...

theoquest: Dismissing Lent?

http://theoquest.blogspot.com/2012/02/dismissing-lent.html

Who Made This Mess? Wednesday, February 22, 2012. I don't really have time for this today, but I'm jumping in anyway. Growing up as part of a non-observing tradition, I hear a lot of misunderstanding and arrogantly false piety during certain times of the year that seems to be based on what we don't. Unless it was chimney cleaning day. I'm fine with that, but it really shouldn't be a source of pride. Could it be, that maybe we're missing something? If you're a Christian who's observing Ash Wednesday today...

theoquest: Passionately Procrastinating

http://theoquest.blogspot.com/2012/02/passionately-procrastinating.html

Who Made This Mess? Friday, February 10, 2012. I always tell my wife that I'm very helpful, just in the least helpful way possible. I usually say that when I'm getting the look that tells me I didn't get done what was supposed to be done. I usually only imagine that I'm getting that look due to my deep seated (or is it seeded? Insecurities, but my imagination is quite compelling, so I usually feel guilty about whatever it is I haven't done - while simultaneously exulting in some other triumph. View my co...
