Title: The Truth Is
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Alison Morrow
with Good Schooling (www.goodschooling.net/)

It is not loving to affirm somebody’s sin and tell them it’s OK. It is not loving to turn a blind eye and pretend like it isn’t happening. It isn’t loving to let someone persist in their ignorance. Our culture has become obsessed with “you do you,” and “to each their own,” and “don’t judge.”

But this results in millions of people being completely chained to their sin, ruled by their emotions, and guided by their body’s trauma response.

Title: A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said: “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said: “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said: “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.

But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

What’s the moral of the story? The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember: when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

You can shake your head and go "Tsk-tsk-tsk, it's such a shame". But just wait for another virus, business shutdown, riots in another city, war in another country, or any other major problem. It will eventually affect you!

Remember the poem by John Donne: “No Man is an Island

Title: God Meets Women Where They Are
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?  Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever hear of women going to the mountains.

But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy keeping life going. They couldn’t abandon babies, meals, homes, fires, gardens, and a thousand other responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day, saying that as modern woman, I feel like I’m never “free” enough from my responsibilities - never in a quiet enough space I want with God.

Her response floored me: “That is why God comes to women. Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures to see that what she said is true. God does in deed come to women where they are – when they are doing their ordinary, everyday work.

He meets them at the wells where they draw water for their families, in their homes, in their kitchens, in their gardens. He comes to them as they sit beside sickbeds, as they give birth, care for the elderly, and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb, Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection. She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane and ordinary tasks, these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like, remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us. If we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things. He is using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.

Title: The Blind Horse
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

THE BLIND HORSE (author unknown)

Just up the road from my home is a field with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if you stop your car or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will discover that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.

This alone is amazing.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray. When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owner of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. God watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those whom God places in our lives. Other times, we are the guide horse, helping others see the way.

Good friends are like this. You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Please listen for my bell, and I'll listen for yours.

Title: A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said: “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said: “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said: “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.

But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

What’s the moral of the story? The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember: when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

You can shake your head and go "Tsk-tsk-tsk, it's such a shame". But just wait for another virus, business shutdown, riots in another city, war in another country, or any other major problem. It will eventually affect you!

Remember the poem by John Donne: “No Man is an Island

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why does Pastor Johnny receive great joy in planting a garden every year? Pastor Johnny remembers not loving it when he was a kid, but learned more about gardening as an adult and now looks forward to it.

Does he see results of his labor immediately?

Is it helpful and productive to learn from others? Pastor Johnny shares more about his aunt, who helped cultivate his love for gardening.

As Christ-followers, we are commissioned to bear fruit. BUT do we all grow, plant, and see the fruit of our labor differently? Pastor Johnny has a great analogy in response!

Can God use each of us?

Should we always keep praying for those who are lost? Is there always hope?

It is not loving to affirm somebody’s sin and tell them it’s OK. It is not loving to turn a blind eye and pretend like it isn’t happening. It isn’t loving to let someone persist in their ignorance. Our culture has become obsessed with “you do you,” and “to each their own,” and “don’t judge.”

But this results in millions of people being completely chained to their sin, ruled by their emotions, and guided by their body’s trauma response.

A Mousetrap isn’t Just a Mousetrap

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said: “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

The mouse turned to the pig and told him: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said: “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

The mouse turned to the cow and said: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said: “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.

But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

What’s the moral of the story? The next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember: when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Each of us is a vital thread in another person’s tapestry.

You can shake your head and go "Tsk-tsk-tsk, it's such a shame". But just wait for another virus, business shutdown, riots in another city, war in another country, or any other major problem. It will eventually affect you!

Remember the poem by John Donne: “No Man is an Island

Title: The Truth Is
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Alison Morrow
with Good Schooling (www.goodschooling.net/)

It is not loving to affirm somebody’s sin and tell them it’s OK. It is not loving to turn a blind eye and pretend like it isn’t happening. It isn’t loving to let someone persist in their ignorance. Our culture has become obsessed with “you do you,” and “to each their own,” and “don’t judge.”

But this results in millions of people being completely chained to their sin, ruled by their emotions, and guided by their body’s trauma response.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did a banner catch Pastor Johnny’s eye while he was driving down the road?

Why did he research the church online? Is that church growing?

Have we become “minimal citizens” – only giving our least, not our best? Are too many “minimal Christians”? Pastor Johnny believes too many people have become “non-committal” in every aspect of their lives, including church attendance.

What if God only gave us his minimal attention?

How do we begin to give God more than our minimal? (Deuteronomy 6:5; Joshua 1:8)

Why does Pastor Johnny post a Word for the Week every Sunday morning?

Do memories of this old man abound whenever Pastor Johnny smells smoke from a woodfire stove and especially when he eats smoke sausage?

When Jewish priests offered burnt offerings to the Lord, would a pleasant aroma lift towards God?

Should we, as Christ-follower, want our lives to be a pleasant aroma to our God? Pastor Johnny says that he, personally, wants to “smell like the smoke of a sacrifice lifting honor and glory to God.”

What brought Pastor Johnny to Houston?

Why didn’t he close his church during the beginning stages of COVID?

Title: The Truth Is
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Alison Morrow
with Good Schooling (www.goodschooling.net/)

It is not loving to affirm somebody’s sin and tell them it’s OK. It is not loving to turn a blind eye and pretend like it isn’t happening. It isn’t loving to let someone persist in their ignorance. Our culture has become obsessed with “you do you,” and “to each their own,” and “don’t judge.”

But this results in millions of people being completely chained to their sin, ruled by their emotions, and guided by their body’s trauma response.

Title: 8 Ways to Boost Your Faith this Year
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Lisa Anderson
with The Boundless Show (www.boundless.org)

When it comes to spiritual matters, many of us are doing the right things for the wrong reasons. Unfortunately, some of us aren’t doing much of anything at all.

Lisa Anderson believes that now is a great time to do life differently. Today, she offers “8 Ways to Boost Your Faith this Year”.  Lisa Anderson is the Director and Host of The Boundless Show, a division of Focus on the Family.

Click here  for the latest podcasts from The Boundless Show.

Click here to help The Boundless Show continue to help young adults grow, own their faith, date with purpose, and prepare for marriage and family.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Do polls indicate four out of five people say they are not especially content, joyful, effective, or purposeful?

Why is now a good time to do life differently?

Why should everyone join a Bible Study? Lisa firmly believes that one of the best ways to get into God’s Word is with other people – and YES homework is essential!

Why is it important to read our Bible every day – even just a verse or two?

Why does Lisa suggest reading missionary biographies? Lisa says that this is a great way to remind ourselves that we serve a big God who cares for people around the world.

How can a prayer journal help boost our faith? What should we pray for? And what on earth are a “God Moments”?

Can Christian music help us refocus on our faith?

Can we benefit from telling our salvation story and listening to others tell theirs? Is this a great way to encourage each other?

When times are tough, many people stop donating to charities or even tithing to save money. Why does Lisa believe that it’s still important to “give money we can’t afford to give”? Lisa calls this a “faith-muscle flexor” and reminds us that our money is really God’s money.

Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)

Have we stopped going the extra mile? Servanthood is something that has become lost in this world. Sure, there are many people who serve and serve happily and willingly. But there are too many who say “that’s not my job”.

Today, Pastor Johnny Teague tells the story of Sherry’s willingness to go above and beyond to serve others.

Click here to read Pastor Teague’s “Word for the Week: Hungry”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is Sherry’s story? Why was she hungry and in a hurry? How did Sherry go the extra mile?

What happened a few weeks later that shocked Sherry? You may need to grab a tissue or two as Pastor Johnny shares this…

Will we always see the fruit of our good deeds?

Why are our actions toward others so important? Pastor Johnny admits that he is guilty of thinking of himself more than others sometimes. As Christians, though, we should be putting God above everything else and doing what Jesus would do in every situation.

How can we serve others with our time, talent, and treasure?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

At one time or another, has everyone wanted to just get away from their life? Rush admits that this book was born of his own struggles with this same issue.

Is wanting to escape an internal problem?

What are some signs of “escapism”? Rush believes that the list is almost endless – BUT he does have four key indicators that he discusses in the next segment.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - When Life is Too Much, Reach for Hope
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Rush Witt
with Rush Witt (www.mynameisrush.com/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What are three goals found in “I Want to Escape”? While discussing the goals, Rush says: “When the pressures rise and we feel like we need to escape, we don’t tend to draw near to Jesus as a present person helping us and giving us hope in the moment.” This is so true! His prayer is that this book will help people draw near to Jesus first.

What are four common ways we seek to escape rather than trust God? Rush discusses denial, distraction, deflect/destroy, and death.

How does the escape route of denial work against us? (Psalm 16:11)

How can we help someone we know and love who just wants to “escape”? Rush believes that the only way we can truly help is to rely on the Lord and to urge our loved ones to seek the Lord, in addition to seeking professional help, both spiritually and medically.

Can our acts of kindness influence others?

Can kindness be contagious? Pastor Johnny shares about his neighbors who he helps out and they help him out in return.

Can God help me control my temper and be more kind? Pastor Johnny reminds us that God loves honesty and He WILL help us when we call out to Him.

Title: Some sow, some water, some reap.
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)


Part 1 of 3

Pastor Johnny Teague shares about his Word for the Week: Raul. NOTE: Raul’s name has been changed to protect his privacy.

Click here for more information about Church at the Cross Houston.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who is Raul? How was Raul’s life different than Pastor Johnny’s? How did Pastor Johnny meet him?

Did Raul view Scripture differently than Pastor Johnny, specifically Genesis and Revelation? Pastor Johnny admits that he absolutely takes the Bible literally, believing every word. Raul did not. In fact, Raul believed that all good people went to heaven and viewed the Bible as simply another book about faith.

Did Pastor Johnny change Raul’s mind about Scripture at that moment?

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Some sow, some water, some reap.
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is Jesus always near us – ready to answer our call at a moment’s notice? Pastor Johnny reminds us that no one is ever too far gone that Jesus will not reach down and save. “It was no less a miracle to save me as it was to save Raul,” he says.

After a person believes in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, what comes next? Is this a common question, especially for those who did not grow up in church?

What should our response as Christians be to those who seek answers about purpose and meaning in life?

Title: God Meets Women Where They Are
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?  Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever hear of women going to the mountains.

But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy keeping life going. They couldn’t abandon babies, meals, homes, fires, gardens, and a thousand other responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day, saying that as modern woman, I feel like I’m never “free” enough from my responsibilities - never in a quiet enough space I want with God.

Her response floored me: “That is why God comes to women. Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures to see that what she said is true. God does in deed come to women where they are – when they are doing their ordinary, everyday work.

He meets them at the wells where they draw water for their families, in their homes, in their kitchens, in their gardens. He comes to them as they sit beside sickbeds, as they give birth, care for the elderly, and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb, Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection. She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane and ordinary tasks, these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like, remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us. If we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things. He is using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.

Title: Word for the Week: Salvage Yard
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)

As we age, our physical bodies need overhauls and replacement parts from time to time. This is also true for many objects we hold dear, such as cars.

Pastor Johnny Teague discusses his Word for the Week: “Salvage Yard”.

Click here to read Pastor Johnny’s Word for the Week.

Click here for more information on Church at the Cross Houston.

Click here for more about Pastor Johnny Teague’s campaign for Congress.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Johnny Teague graduated high school in 1981. What happened to his ’67 LeMans when he was a junior in high school?

Why did Pastor Johnny choose a ’77 Mustang as his next ride? Was it a muscle car or far from it?

If that car could speak, what would it say?

What is the significance of Chalk Mountain? Could his little Mustang make the climb? Pastor Johnny discusses how hard it was to drive up the mountain and why his friend suggested getting a “header”.

Pastor Johnny’s Word for the Week is entitled “Salvage Yard”. Is this where he found spare parts for his trusty old Mustang? Pastor Johnny admits that he gets a little sentimental about the salvage yard and the Mustang he found there to use for spare parts for his own car.

Like this old Mustang, do we need replacement parts and tune-ups from time to time? PRODUCER’S NOTE: It’s been just over two years since Terry Lowry had his quadruple bypass. To God be the Glory that he is still alive and kicking!!

Like that header, does Jesus Christ give us power, through the Holy Spirit, to make it up the mountains we face?

Is America just an old nation that needs to be discarded or replaced? Pastor Johnny believes that, unfortunately, many do feel this way. He says: “What grieves me is that so many don’t see this nation as one that has provided so much good for the world. They focus on the things that we’ve done wrong.”

Title: God Meets Women Where They Are
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?  Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever hear of women going to the mountains.

But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy keeping life going. They couldn’t abandon babies, meals, homes, fires, gardens, and a thousand other responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day, saying that as modern woman, I feel like I’m never “free” enough from my responsibilities - never in a quiet enough space I want with God.

Her response floored me: “That is why God comes to women. Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures to see that what she said is true. God does in deed come to women where they are – when they are doing their ordinary, everyday work.

He meets them at the wells where they draw water for their families, in their homes, in their kitchens, in their gardens. He comes to them as they sit beside sickbeds, as they give birth, care for the elderly, and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb, Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection. She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane and ordinary tasks, these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like, remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us. If we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things. He is using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.

Title: Word for the Week: Sting
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Johnny Teague
with Church at the Cross Houston (www.ChurchAtTheCrossHouston.org)

Jumping is fun – until someone gets hurt. Today, Church at the Cross Pastor Johnny Mark Teague tells of the lesson his jumping cow recently learned – a lesson we can all learn.

Pastor Johnny Mark Teague is the Republican Candidate for Texas Congressional District 7. Click here for information about his campaign.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Johnny Mark Teague is also a rancher, raising black angus cattle. How did the drought this past summer affect him?

Pastor Teague discovered this summer that he has a “jumping cow”. What dilemma did she create?

Is the sting of the “top wire” a lasting memory for all who touch it – including animals? Pastor Johnny explains the sting’s purpose and effectiveness. He also points out that the jumping cow is fine! There are no lasting effects from the sting of the wire. BUT there ARE lasting effects from the sting of sin.

Is our conscience a God-given moral compass?

We all have the sting of sin in our lives. How can we know the way to salvation? Pastor Johnny says: “We find quickly that noting satisfies... That’s when Jesus comes.”

Title: Does God Collect Our Tears in a Bottle?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Paul Tautges

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Does God Collect Our Tears in a Bottle?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Paul Tautges
with Counseling One Another (www.counselingoneanother.com/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

When we think about grief, we often first think about the loss of a loved one. Are there many other types of grief, though? Paul says the loss of friendships, jobs, finances, and even dignity from abuse are just a few.

Did God design us to bear our grief alone?

Is it common to feel all alone while grieving?

Psalm 56:8 “You have kept count of my tossings;s put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?” Why are our tears important to God? Paul says: “Tears are a gift from God. They are a way that He has given us to embrace our pain, release our emotions, and to show the depth of love for whatever we have lost.”

Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Paul Tautges
with Counseling One Another (www.counselingoneanother.com/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

When someone is grieving, is it better to listen more and speak sparingly? Paul believes this is definitely important, saying: “Just be there for people. Love them with your comfort and presence.”

How have others come along side Paul during times of grief?

What is a common thread found within “A Small Book for the Hurting Heart”?

Closing thoughts from Paul Tautges: “God’s comfort is not a cul-de-sac; it’s avenue. It doesn’t end with us. Somewhere along the way, God is going to use the comfort that He gave to us to help someone else.”

Is Jesus always near us – ready to answer our call at a moment’s notice? Pastor Johnny reminds us that no one is ever too far gone that Jesus will not reach down and save. “It was no less a miracle to save me as it was to save Raul,” he says.

After a person believes in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, what comes next? Is this a common question, especially for those who did not grow up in church?

What should our response as Christians be to those who seek answers about purpose and meaning in life?

Can we just go to a “safe place” until the crisis resolves itself? Tim believes that some situations are dangerous and running away is absolutely necessary, but this is not helpful or productive for the majority of problems.

Title: God Meets Women Where They Are
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?  Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever hear of women going to the mountains.

But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy keeping life going. They couldn’t abandon babies, meals, homes, fires, gardens, and a thousand other responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day, saying that as modern woman, I feel like I’m never “free” enough from my responsibilities - never in a quiet enough space I want with God.

Her response floored me: “That is why God comes to women. Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures to see that what she said is true. God does in deed come to women where they are – when they are doing their ordinary, everyday work.

He meets them at the wells where they draw water for their families, in their homes, in their kitchens, in their gardens. He comes to them as they sit beside sickbeds, as they give birth, care for the elderly, and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb, Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection. She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane and ordinary tasks, these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like, remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us. If we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things. He is using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.

Why do we need a Redeemer?

Why did God require a payment for our sins – a propitiation?

Is there any other substitute for Jesus? Pastor Ed says: “Nothing else can take the place of him. Not our works. Not our goodness… We trust Him by faith, believing that the work he did on the cross – what he accomplished – is fully complete.”

Title: The Blind Horse
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

THE BLIND HORSE (author unknown)

Just up the road from my home is a field with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if you stop your car or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will discover that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.

This alone is amazing.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray. When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owner of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. God watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those whom God places in our lives. Other times, we are the guide horse, helping others see the way.

Good friends are like this. You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Please listen for my bell, and I'll listen for yours.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Will we all face our own resurrection?

Is hell a real place? Will there be many (too many) who will spend eternity in a burning hell? Pastor Ed believes too few sermons are preached on the reality of hell and that’s the problem! He mentions Hebrews 9:22 and Philippians 2:10.

Do we all have a choice to make regarding our eternity?

Once we die, is it too late to make a decision?

Do many people accept Jesus on Easter Sunday?

Title: Dancing with God
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Dancing with God (anonymous)

When I meditated on the word Guidance, I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

Then my eyes drew back to the word Guidance.

When I saw "G", I thought of God, followed by "U" and "I."

"God, "u" and "i" dance."

God, You and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

Let's DANCE!

Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)


Part 1 of 3

Matthew 16:24-26 in the ESV:24Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?’”

Today, Pastor Ed Ethridge discusses A.W. Tozer’s devotional “His Cross is My Cross”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

A.W. Tozer wrote: To take Jesus Christ into your life without reservation is to accept His friends as your friends and to know that His enemies will be your enemies. Did Jesus have enemies?

A.W. Tozer wrote: To take Jesus Christ into your life without reservation means that we accept His rejection as our rejection. Who rejected Jesus? Who rejects us as Christ-followers?

Side Bar: Do many in government reject Christ vehemently? Terry says: “Beware of our leadership.”

A.W. Tozer wrote: To take Jesus Christ into your life without reservation means we knowingly accept His cross as our cross. Do new followers understand the depth of this? Do too many preach that going to church is enough?

Side Bar: Will Christ always bear the cross with us? Pastor Ed refences Matthew 28:20 and Ephesians 4:1.

Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)


Part 1 of 2

Matthew 16:24-26 in the ESV:24Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?’”

Today, Pastor Ed Ethridge discusses A.W. Tozer’s devotional “His Cross is My Cross”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

A.W. Tozer wrote: To take Jesus Christ into your life without reservation is to accept His friends as your friends and to know that His enemies will be your enemies. Did Jesus have enemies?

A.W. Tozer wrote: To take Jesus Christ into your life without reservation means that we accept His rejection as our rejection. Who rejected Jesus? Who rejects us as Christ-followers?

Side Bar: Do many in government reject Christ vehemently? Terry says: “Beware of our leadership.”

A.W. Tozer wrote: To take Jesus Christ into your life without reservation means we knowingly accept His cross as our cross. Do new followers understand the depth of this? Do too many preach that going to church is enough?

Side Bar: Will Christ always bear the cross with us? Pastor Ed refences Matthew 28:20 and Ephesians 4:1.

It’s a scary time right now. We hear the news about the Coronavirus. We see the long lines at the grocery store. We drive by restaurants with empty parking lots.

I’ve been scrolling Facebook a lot over the last week or so ---- partly out of boredom --- partly out of needing information because we don’t have television (I’m #thatmom) ---- and partly just to see the silly memes and pictures my friends are posting about the #coronahysteria

But …. In all seriousness, there ARE people who are truly fearful. People who have no hope. People who truly see only the dark side of this horrible pandemic.

May this bring you hope and peace today. Trust God. He’s got this!

Title: God Meets Women Where They Are
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Have you ever noticed how in the scriptures men are always going up into the mountains to commune with the Lord?  Yet in the scriptures we hardly ever hear of women going to the mountains.

But we know why — right?

Because the women were too busy keeping life going. They couldn’t abandon babies, meals, homes, fires, gardens, and a thousand other responsibilities to make the climb into the mountains!

I was talking to a friend the other day, saying that as modern woman, I feel like I’m never “free” enough from my responsibilities - never in a quiet enough space I want with God.

Her response floored me: “That is why God comes to women. Men have to climb the mountain to meet God, but God comes to women where ever they are.”

I have been pondering on her words for weeks and have searched my scriptures to see that what she said is true. God does in deed come to women where they are – when they are doing their ordinary, everyday work.

He meets them at the wells where they draw water for their families, in their homes, in their kitchens, in their gardens. He comes to them as they sit beside sickbeds, as they give birth, care for the elderly, and perform necessary mourning and burial rites.

Even at the empty tomb, Mary was the first to witness Christ’s resurrection. She was there because she was doing the womanly chore of properly preparing Christ’s body for burial.

In these seemingly mundane and ordinary tasks, these women of the scriptures found themselves face to face with divinity.

So if you ever start to bemoan the fact that you don’t have as much time to spend in the mountains with God as you would like, remember, God comes to women. He knows where we are and the burdens we carry. He sees us. If we open our eyes and our hearts we will see Him, even in the most ordinary places and in the most ordinary things. He is using a time such as this to speak to women around the world.

If the dead could speak to us, what would they say?

Why do we fill our lives with hollow cravings and meaningless activities?

Why is it hard for us to remember that earth is not our home? Dr. Thrasher calls us “sojourners on the way to the Celestial City” and “broken people in need of a Savior”. Amen

Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor Ed Ethridge – Retired
with Truth for You Ministries (www.truthforyou.net/)

Just a few decades ago, no one could have imagined the state of America today. We have Pride Month for LGBTQ+ individuals. The divorce rate, even among Christians, is sky rocketing. Social justice “warriors” are burning down businesses with little-to-no consequences. Movies, television shows, and even video games and song lyrics are riddled with curse words and violence.

Pastor Ed Ethridge has some thoughts on the current state of America. Learn more about his ministry, Truth for You, here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are we all wearing our feelings on our shoulders where it vicariously perches seemingly daring anyone to just knock it off?

If the early Christians were so sensitive would the church have thrived?

Is there still hope for America to return to a truly Christian nation?

Why is it important for Christians to treat others the way they want to be treated – they way Jesus would treat them?

Does the Bible promise Christians perfect health, unlimited success, and a fancy house?

Is it our responsibility to carry our cross? Do we all have the same cross to carry? Or are all our crosses different – designed by God?

Why is daily Bible study and prayer important to the Christian walk?

He quotes a preacher friend of his: “We all have an expiration date. What are we going to do until we come to that expiration date?”

We all need help and encouragement from time to time. Of course, leaning on God is the first things we should do. But are community support groups important as well?

If we will arise and shine, drudgery will be divinely transformed.

Drudgery is one of the finest tests to determine the genuineness of our character. Drudgery is work that is far removed from anything we think of as ideal work. It is the utterly hard, menial, tiresome, and dirty work.

At the closing of his “sermon”, would the enlightened preacher give glory to the government?

Would the congregants be invited to attend “happy hour” with a cash bar?

Does the Spirit of the Living God, our Creator, cry out: “No! Be still and know that I Am God. There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end that way leads to destruction”?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Did God have a purpose for this little family to nurture their youngest son, who grew to be known all over the world? What was his name?

In much the same way, did God send Jesus to a family very much like this to save every person from their sins --- to be the true Savior of the world?

Does God truly have a purpose for every person? .

Part 1 of 3

As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, where do we draw the line? We may feel we’re being good citizens to stop our worship services because of the Coronavirus.

What happens when they say we should not speak of Jesus as the only way to Heaven?

The first step of totalitarianism and government overreach is to close and/or control the Churches. Sadly, we are not being forced. We are voluntarily complying happily.

Johnny Teague is a Houston-area Pastor and candidate for Congress, District 9. He can be found here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Recently a fellow candidate confessed that he was having a “secret date” every Saturday night? What was his true confession?

How long has Pastor Teague been a Pastor? Why does he, as a white man, preach at a black church?

Has Pastor Teague been worried that his church would need to close their doors during the Coronavirus and BLM movement?

Title: Does American Need a Heart Change?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Dr. Autumn Galbreath
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org


Part 1 of 3

The world we live in is broken, and people are afraid. Fear is the most insidious form of brokenness. It penetrates the very marrow of our character and changes our motivations.

Dr. Autumn Galbreath writes: “In the New Testament, there are only two ways Jesus says His followers can be identified: by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20) and by their love (John 13:35). How well are we doing at fruit and love during these strange days?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Does fear push people out of their window of self-control and politeness?

In Dr. Galbreath’s opinion, is fear the underlying cause of bigotry, hatred, shaming, and judgment?

In general, do people with peace and confidence in their beliefs display hatred and judgmental attitudes toward others? Does this not only apply to the Corona lockdown, but in politics and life in general, specifically the riots?

Finding ourselves today in a society polarized by fear, how should we then live?

Is our tone of voice important when talking with others – especially those with different views and beliefs?

Dr. Galbreath closes the interview with a challenge to us all: Look back in a year (June 2021) and ask yourself: “How has my heart grown in the last 12 months?”

Part 1 of 3

Have you felt disconnected from others during the Coronavirus quarantine? You are not alone! Our circumstances may look different, but we are all still struggling. How do we continue to show God’s love to others during this time – or any difficult time? How can we continue to love God and trust Him?

Pastor Ed Ethridge has some inspiration for us today. He may just motivate you to get out and do something, too! Pastor Ed is the Associate Pastor of Pastoral Care at Champion Forest Baptist Church.

NOTE: Terry would like to know YOUR thoughts on this issue. How are you continuing to love and trust God during this time? How are you showing others God’s love? Use the “Contact Link”  on our home page to share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How can we continue to love God during difficult times? Pastor Ed encourages us to continue our prayer and devotion time – and don’t forget to keep tithing!

Jesus said: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind”. What does “mind” mean?

Is anyone else responsible for what we think? Or it is our own responsibility?

Scripture references for this segment: Leviticus 19:18; Matthew 22:36-39; Colossians 3:2; and Ephesians 5:18

Title: Who is Fanny Crosby?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Francis Jane van Alstyne, better known as Fanny Crosby, was a wonderful poet who lived from 1820-1915. Not only was she a poet, she was also a mission worker, lyricist, composer, and blind.

Listen in as the story is told of the time she realized her eyesight was gone for good – there was no hope of restoration. What she did after this discovery is amazing and a great inspiration to everyone.

Title: What Will Be Your Legacy?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

What will your legacy be? How will you be remembered? What does the word perfect mean?

LOVE YOUR ENEMIES:

Matthew 5:43-48

43You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

But I can’t be perfect, so I looked it up in the Greek. The word perfect: one definition/usage from the Greek is: of mental and moral character.

Does God strike down those who use his name in vain…does God strike down those who reject Him?

God sent his Son to die on a cruel cross to redeem all…all those who come to Him. God forgave me nearly 46 years ago.

My prayer: Father, thank you for sending your Son to die for me. Thank you Jesus for redeeming my soul. Today Father, no matter what, may I reflect your moral character in all that I do, say and think. It is at the feet of the cross that I humbly approach the throne room, covered in the blood of the Lamb, washed as white as snow. Robed in the righteousness of God himself.

Title: Are We Created to Serve?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Karla Akins
with Karla Akins (www.karlaakins.com)

It's the church's responsibility to "speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute" (Prov. 31:8).  If the church doesn't answer the call, how can we expect the world not to discriminate?

Karla Akins is a pastor’s wife who rides her own motorcycle. She is the mother of four boys (two who are autistic) and one step-daughter, and grandmother of seven. Karla and her husband have been in ministry together for 35 years.

Today, Karla will be discussing how God created each of us for a specific purpose to further His Kingdom.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are we all called to serve somewhere – somehow – to further the God’s Kingdom?

Can those who are labeled “differently abled” still serve in the church? One book Karla Akins has written is entitled “A Pair of Miracles”, which is about her two adult autistic sons. One chapter centers on their desire to serve others. How and where do they serve in the church and the community?

Do we all have assignments from God?

Are those who do not serve others missing out on amazing blessings?

Can we be too old or too young to serve others? Karla says, “As long as there is a breath in you, there is something for you to do.”

How should the church encourage those with disabilities?

Part 1 of 2

From picking cotton to delivering groceries on a bicycle at age 12 to being President of a billion dollar cooperation; who is Jimmy Collins and how did he do it?

What makes the 70,000 CFA workers more efficient than their counterparts in other fast-food restaurants? My personal experiences with various CFA’s in Houston and across the United States have been wonderful: employees are nice and well-mannered, the facilities are cleaner, and even the food is better!

Jimmy says that every single one of us are followers, whether we are leaders or not. We all want to be appreciated, loved, and respected. When an employee is not appreciated, they will make the customer feel unappreciated.

Listen in as Jimmy explains.

Title: Could You Do It?
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by George Stahnke
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org

The pastorate is a high and heavy calling. It can mean sleepless nights, heart-wrenching hospital visits, sermon criticism, being entangled in the midst of congregation member’s drama, and a small paycheck. These negativities also fall on the pastor’s family, as well.

When was the last time you told your pastor how much he is appreciated? George Stahnke is a Counselor with Focus on the Family. Today, he offers encouragement for pastors and advice for congregants who support them.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How often do most congregants thank their pastor?

Are congregants too quick to critique their pastor instead of offering praise?

Why are words of encouragement so imperative to anyone?

Don’t let your encouragement lapse! You wouldn’t tell your spouse once a year or even once a month how much he/she is appreciated! Listen as George explains why offering encouragement and thanks often is so important.

Do pastor’s families feel a lot of pressure, as well? Should we encourage them often as well?

Great suggestion by George Stahnke: Slip a note and restaurant gift card to your pastor and his wife this Sunday as a thank you! Bonus: Offer to babysit their kids, too, while they have a date night!

Title: After Harvey: With Much Loss, More to Gain
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Pastor David Fleming
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 5

Pastor David Fleming offers hope and healing in a fantastic sermon one week after the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. This week, we will be airing this tremendous sermon in five short segments Monday through Friday. You can find the full sermon in audio and video form at ChampionForest.org under the title “With Much Loss, More to Gain”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How can you be a good neighbor?

Part One: See an opportunity. Pastor Fleming discussed this yesterday.

Part Two: Demonstrate compassion. This is not sympathy or even empathy. Compassion is something you feel deep in your soul. Compassion is not being able to look away from something that touches you.

Part Three: Take immediate action. Don’t plan. Don’t prepare. Just go. When you see a need, take action immediately. Get your hands dirty like Jesus would.

Pastor David Fleming encourages you to visit Champion Forest Baptist Church in NW Houston this Sunday! CFBC has Life Groups classes (Sunday School) for all ages and walks of life, including Mark Lanier’s Biblical Literacy Class, as well as several service times and locations to choose from.

You can find the full sermon in audio and video form at ChampionForest.org under the title “With Much Loss, More to Gain”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pastor Fleming offers a twist in today’s segment. Don’t ask God: “Who is my neighbor?” Instead, ask yourself: “What kind of neighbor am I?”

In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, why did the first two men, a priest and a Levite, pass by the injured one? Why didn’t they help him? More importantly, why did the Samaritan choose to stop and offer his help?

How can you be a good neighbor?

Part 1: See an opportunity.

Tune in Friday for the conclusion of Pastor Fleming’s sermon: “With Much Loss, More to Gain”.

You can find the full sermon in audio and video form at ChampionForest.org under the title “With Much Loss, More to Gain”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Calamity not only builds character, it builds community,” Pastor Fleming states at the beginning of today’s segment. Listen as he tells stories of neighbors helping neighbors – even in the midst of their own homes being under water. Grab some tissues!!!

In Luke 10, a man asked Jesus: “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus responded with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, who didn’t ask why or how he should help. He freely offered his talents, services, and even money to help the injured man on the road. That is what being a neighbor is all about: helping others with no expectation of thanks or reward.

What are you doing to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey? There are STILL needs all across our community. Click here to see how you can help or are still in need of help.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

If we “really” loved God, we wouldn’t have been affected by Harvey. Right? Isn’t that what the world tells us to think? But this is not true! Pastor Fleming continues to offer hope and encouragement today. He reminds us that we DO love God and he did not send the flood waters to punish us. However, there may be a lesson we can all learn.

When do you finally surrender and say “God I can’t do this on my own”? When do you throw in the towel? Pastor Fleming says you shouldn’t have to! From the beginning of the storm, trust in Him. When the winds kick up, trust in Him. When the water keeps rising, trust in Him. When the roof caves in, trust in Him. He is there and He will not leave you.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are you being a “good neighbor”? Pastor Fleming reminds us of The Parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10 in his sermon. The Good Samaritan is, of course, a treasured story that even non-Christians know and follow. The first command here, “love the Lord your God”, is not as popular as the second “love your neighbor”. The devil hates this second command, because it draws us together while he wants to only divide us.

At least you’re safe.” “At least you’re together.” “At least your home wasn’t completely destroyed.” “God will take care of you.” “God has a plan.” “God knows the future.” These phrases have been repeated over and over again. Yes, they are true, but do they help? Pastor Fleming believes they do; actually, they help a lot!

At least you’re safe.” “At least you’re together.” “At least your home wasn’t completely destroyed.” “God will take care of you.” “God has a plan.” “God knows the future.” These phrases have been repeated over and over again.

The devil hates this second command, because it draws us together while he wants to only divide us.

With much loss, there is so much more to gain. Many have lost their cars, homes, jobs, and even loved ones due to Hurricane Harvey’s destruction. After all that loss, what good can be found? Pastor Fleming states this: “God knew that you would turn this test into a testimony.”

Title: Creative Followership: In the Shadow of Greatness
Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by Jimmy Collins
with Chick-Fil-A (www.ChickFilA.com)

Part 1 of 2

From picking cotton to delivering groceries on a bicycle at age 12 to being President of a billion dollar cooperation; who is Jimmy Collins and how did he do it?

What makes the 70,000 CFA workers more efficient than their counterparts in other fast-food restaurants? My personal experiences with various CFA’s in Houston and across the United States have been wonderful: employees are nice and well-mannered, the facilities are cleaner, and even the food is better!

Jimmy says that every single one of us are followers, whether we are leaders or not. We all want to be appreciated, loved, and respected. When an employee is not appreciated, they will make the customer feel unappreciated.

Listen in as Jimmy explains.

You might have negative feelings about the church and don't attend regular services. You might come on Easter and Christmas to make yourself "feel good". You might hate "corporate worship" because you think it’s fake or boring.

I believe this is also for the church member who feels like they aren’t wanted, needed, or loved. Being part of a church is so vitally important to the Christian life. We encourage each other, pray for each other, laugh and cry together, have fun together. Being part of a small group is also important. It’s not enough to “just go to church”.

Topic: Inspirational and Motivational
Discussed by David McCullough
with Author

Part 1 of 2

Imagine going to your child’s high school graduation and hearing the commencement speaker tell your child and hundreds of others: “You are not special”. What?!?!?

That is exactly what David McCullough did when he addressed the graduating students at a high school outside of Boston. Little did he know that someone would video tape the speech, put that video on YouTube, and would result in TV appearances, radio guest spots, and a new book just two years later!

There are obvious difference between graduates of today and graduates from 20 years ago. David McCullough, Jr. discusses some of the “not-so-obvious” differences and what we, as a society, must commit to doing to improve their over-all test scores and willingness to work.

Also, what really does make you “Special”? David says it really doesn’t take much. Grab a copy of his new, “You are not Special and other Encouragements”, at Barnes and Nobles or Amazon.com.

On April 17, more than 30,000 members of the Saddleback family gathered in Angel Stadium to celebrate their congregation's 25th anniversary. But they did more than just rejoice in the way God fulfilled the original vision He gave Rick for the congregation in 1980. Rick also shared a new vision God has placed onhis heart, one for mobilizing all God's people - all over the world - to tackle the giant obstacles that keep people in spiritual darkness.

At the end of the celebration, they all stood together and read the declaration  that Rick wrote to help them express their radical commitment to this global spiritual revolution. I encourage you to share this with your friends and family as we all challenge each other to join God in seeing his will done "on earth as it is in heaven."

Rick Warren is pastor of Saddleback Valley Community Church in Lake Forest, Calif., and author of The Purpose-Driven Life. This article is read from the website www.PurposeDriven.com. Copyright 2005 by Rick Warren. Used by permission. All rights reserved.

Listen to his declaration that was recited in Angel Stadium on April 17th by more than 30,000 members of the Saddleback family.

We get asked “How are you doing today” many times every day. But, do you answer honestly? You don’t have to go into detail, but if you are asked that and you are not up to par, be honest; say “Things could be better - and it will be!” Or, say “I have Jesus in my heart so it’s a great day” if you are feeling great.

No human experience is more universal than loss-whether it's money, time, relatives, love, reputation, or health-and the older you get the more often you will encounter it. Loss always means some level of change, and transitions can be scary. This is the time to be on the alert, watching for something new that God may have up His sleeve for you.
