http://surrenderdaily.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Saturday, July 27, 2013. What I learned in Uganda about Faith. It is interesting what I learned about FAITH during my recent trip to Uganda with Designs for Hope ( www.designsforhope.org. What makes it so interesting is that my primary responsibility on the trip was to provide pastor/discipleship training and my topic of choice was the significance of our faith. I am very much a critical thinker, so I need answers! As part of our missi...

Note: This is the fourth and final part in this series on Significance of Faith in the Christian life and salvation process. It is widely stated and believed that we serve a sovereign God; but if you think about that, what exactly does that mean? That raises an important question. How can we trust in a God who is sovereign? Then there...

A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Have you ever been reading a book that you really enjoyed and at the same time couldn't shake the thought that something just wasn't quite right about it? About that time, The Lord began to impress upon me a couple of important questions. The first question was fairly simple, "What is worship? The second question that the The Lord then impressed on me was this: "Why do you worship me? It only goes to show y...

A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. I Dont Think So. You can even use them to supplement your local church teaching and discipleship. As I mentioned on Sunday, I listen to a number of podcasts of other pastors every week to help in my own personal growth. This is why I make sure to post a link to my sermons every week. If someone - even one person - can benefit from them then it is worth the effort. I also want to make sure we don't fall into th...

Surrender Daily: December 2014
http://surrenderdaily.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Friday, December 5, 2014. I know that something wonderful is about to happen because this trip has been an act of complete faith and a demonstration of God’s faithfulness from the beginning. But God was still impressing upon me to go. God’s economy and man’s economy are not the same. Who am I to go over there and preach to them? I don’t know how to install bicycle generators. That effort will certainly be a huge flop. The...These are t...

A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Now That It Is "Over": My Response to the Duck Dynasty Debacle. Picture from newsbuster.org. How should we have responded to Phil Robertson, the liberal outcry, and ultimately A&E? Did we do the right thing by getting all up-in-arms? Should we have defended him or judged him? Should we have responded in protest to A&E (or Crackle Barrel or anyone else that retaliated against him)? They will do so because the...

Surrender Daily: The Freedom of Life in the Spirit
http://surrenderdaily.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-freedom-of-life-in-spirit.html
A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The Freedom of Life in the Spirit. It turns out that as humans we really like rules. We are far more comfortable with objectivity than we are with subjectivity. Think about it. When you need to make a decision, are you not seeking for an objective way to make that decision? What do I do? What do I not do? In this past Sunday’s sermon (Listen at: http:/ pawneeaudio.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-am-transfor...Until we ar...

A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Grace or Truth: The Ministry of Compassion vs. The Ministry of the Word. Most of you who know me well enough know that I am very intimately involved in a non-profit ministry called Designs For Hope ( www.designsforhope.org. 14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. (ESV). I̵...

A journey in the daily struggle to totally surrender to Jesus Christ. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. A Blog Post Long in the Making. It has been almost 12 months since I have posted anything on this blog. In fact, as I prepare to go to Eluru, India I realize that the last time I wrote anything on my blog was just after my trip to Eluru last January. I did not even blog anything about our very successful Designs For Hope ( www.designsforhope.org. Of course I cannot move overseas. Why you ask? I graduated fro...
