Mind Dumps, Randomness, Reflections & Introspection

Labor Day Mind Dump

30 Aug , 2019

Your joy is vitally important as you walk out this faith-filled life that God has designed for you. Joy shapes the miracle that God will do and ushers the presence of the Lord. Never allow offense (rather merited or not) to steal your joy. If so, the offense of yesterday could cost you your miracle and allow you to miss what Jesus is doing today.

Unless The Lord…

This was originally posted by Pastor Corey on February 18, 2012…. 1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. 2 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for He grants sleep to […]

In other words, leadership doesn’t come with a punch card. You don’t clock in and out. Jesus was known for doing more work outside the […]

Tag Team Ministry

28 Sep , 2011

When my brother and I were younger (and even now, somewhat) we were avid Wrestling fans. We (and our cousins too) would imitate all the legends… I mean Sting, Ric Flair, Randy Savage (RIP), Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. We were totally obsessed. And if I can […]

Offense of the Gospel

9 Jul , 2011

Sometimes, I think about the condition of a person heart, soul and spirit as it relates to the things that motives mines. I have noticed lately, especially in the church that we have pacified and sugar-coated the Gospel (the Bible) to some mediocre story that makes us feel good and leaves us excited without revelation. […]
