Ramblin' Reed: Unacceptable Worship
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013/08/lifestyle-worship-part-2-unacceptable.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. If your car starts once every three tries, is it reliable? If the postman skipped delivery every Monday and Thursday, is he trustworthy? If you don’t go to work once or twice a month, are you a reliable employee? If your fridge stops working for a day or two every now and then, do you say, “Oh well, it work most of the time.”? If your water heater provides an icy cold shower every now and then, is it dependable? Worship of false gods, worship of God that is created to suit our de...

Ramblin' Reed: What is Biblical Worship and are we doing it?
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013/08/what-is-biblical-worship-and-are-we.html
Monday, August 19, 2013. What is Biblical Worship and are we doing it? Over this past week I had the privilege of leading a conference on worship up at the Family Retreat. As I prepared I received a stronger and stronger prompting to bring this subject to the attention of our congregational body. I bring this topic before you because I believe many churches and many believers have lost the true meaning of worship. Are we worshiping God. For the full message shared on 08-18-13 at.

Ramblin' Reed: April 2013
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. The Lord's Prayer - Pt.1. Lord, Teach us to pray.". That was their request, "Teach us to pray." Do we ask that of our Savior? No, but perhaps we should. Instead we go about the task of praying as if rubbing a bottle and expecting a genie to grant our every whim, or we view it as grueling and tiresome. More of a requirement than the privilege it is. Prayer is unfortunately an area where many believers are weak and in need of instruction. "Lord, teach us to pray.". Could you use som...

Ramblin' Reed: Choose to Serve the Lord
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013/06/choose-to-serve-lord.html
Monday, June 3, 2013. Choose to Serve the Lord. I wish to thank my good friend Osmar Aguilar for filling in for me while I was away attending my daughter's wedding. Osmar is the Executive Director of YFC (Youth for Christ) in SE Wisconsin. I have had the opportunity to experience his passion for seeing Christ glorified in the ministry of reaching teens for Christ. As he came to FCOG-Racine, he challenged us to "Choose to Serve the Lord.". For the full message shared on 06-02-13 at. First Church of God.

Ramblin' Reed: March 2013
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. Stories capture our attention. Look at how we spend hours upon hours in social media reading or enjoying the stories told regarding friends and family. Before the days of MySpace, Facebook, and other medias people spoke face to face. In this story the father represents God; the Prodigal represents defiant sinners, who eventually in humility come to the father seeking repentance and forgiveness; and the Eldest Son, who represents those seeking to earn their way to heaven through wo...

Ramblin' Reed: February 2013
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. Passion for the Lost. Have you ever given much thought to what you are passionate about? It could be photography, paint or sculpture; perhaps singing or playing an instrument, or sports. I don't know your passion, but I do know mine. God has placed within me a passion to counsel. I love to listen to the issues and problems of those I come in contact with and then as God leads provide a Biblical response to their plight. What are the implications? First Church of God. Passion fo...

Ramblin' Reed: November 2012
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 26, 2012. I AM the Way and theTruth and the Life. I'm curious. What do you believe? More specifically, in Whom do you believe? There are many schools of thought regarding this topic. Some encourage that you believe in yourself and your ability to do good. Others espouse the idea of believing in karma, what goes around comes around. There is even the idea to believe that the prayers of others will change your eternal destiny after you die. And you know the way where I am going.”. If you c...

Ramblin' Reed: Unity of the Body: Walking Worthy of the Call
http://ramblin-reed.blogspot.com/2013/06/unity-of-body-walking-worthy-of-call.html
Monday, June 10, 2013. Unity of the Body: Walking Worthy of the Call. Therefore as a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to one hope when you were called—. One Lord, one faith, one baptism;. For the full message shared on 06-09-13 at.
