People of Grace: May 2010

Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Monday, May 31, 2010. So today and every moment from this one on I wonder can we all do one thing - give our lives away. What is our example for this? Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion. Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far bey...

People of Grace: September 2009

Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Wednesday, September 02, 2009. Anything - what does that leave out? All things - what does that leave out? Anything means: any object, occurrence, or matter whatever, to any degree or extent; at all. All things means: Constituting, being, or representing the total extent or the whole. So what does that leave out? God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! I know that things will not work out exactly...

Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Renunciation what in the heck is that? Renunciation by definition is the act of rejecting or disowning or disclaiming. What makes this so important to us today? Jesus talks about the idea of renunciation in a way that just knocks our socks off! Don't think I've come to make life cozy. I've come to cut—make a sharp knife-cut between son and father, daughter and mother, bride and mother-in-law—cut through these cozy domestic...If you don't ...

People of Grace: June 2009
http://clintshouse.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Monday, June 22, 2009. I wanted to take some time this evening as my son sleeps to say that I am so thankful to have people in my life that care so much and pray for my family. I am overwhelmed and humbled at that fact. It is amazing to me that God has taken care of all of us! God is love, beauty, kindness, compassion, and peace. I can only think of all of you much the same as Paul thought about the people who were his friends and support him:. Friday, June 19, 2009.

People of Grace: April 2010
http://clintshouse.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Ever feel like God is so far away? I know that we all think, "God where are you? Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

People of Grace: Change
http://clintshouse.blogspot.com/2010/05/change.html
Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Monday, May 17, 2010. However, true change and transformation comes from consistent action. We find this hard. We think that we should never be angry, sad, frustrated, or anxious. So when these feelings come up our tendency is to deny that we have these feelings and supress them because we "should have changed by now." We take our everyday lives, the things that we can attend to and be aware of to actually change. What is making me so anxious? So today become more a...

People of Grace: March 2009
http://clintshouse.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Tuesday, March 31, 2009. How desperate are you? When we become deperate we will find God there. Desperation is a loss of all hope. It is when we come to the end of ourselves and our ego. Have we ever been there? Have we ever been at a place where we were so desperate that we would do anything to find hope? And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become. Sunday, March 29, 2009. You see God does not think like that! Sunday, March 22, 2009. How could that happen? I mea...

People of Grace: December 2009
http://clintshouse.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Thursday, December 24, 2009. Monday, December 07, 2009. Sometimes we act like it is all up to us. You know - we have to make things happen, make sure that people get "saved," make sure that life happens in the way that we think it should, make sure we are doing all the right things to make sure God is pleased - on and on we go thinking that we are the ones in control of our world. This is the reality:. Do we believe that God needs us and we need God? The Last Word a...

People of Grace: July 2009

Encouragement Inspiration Inner Peace. Friday, July 31, 2009. How many times do we say to ourselves, friends, or family - "I am right and I am not going to apologize - I did not do anything wrong! They need to apologize to me! We have heard it said and we say it and think it. This is not the way of Jesus. The following is the way Jesus taught us to live:. Here's another old saying that deserves a second look: 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' Is that going to get us anywhere? We need to be the agents of ch...
