You May Have Been Set Up… (Part 1)

Posted by Phil Jean on Jul 8, 2009 in Christianity, Games, Life, World

Ever been at a point in life where everything was just hard? It seems like life is falling apart. Friends are leaving you, you get fired or laid off, money doesn’t easily get around for you, etc… What ever the situation that you went through or are currently going through, I want to challenge you today with a thought!

I want to specifically address the hard time that we are experiencing financially. I was just having a meeting with one of my worship leaders and the subject of trials and persecution came up. Then we went on the subject of the financial state that we are in as a nation. Maybe you are reading this and you have lost your job for what ever reason, I know that this may be hard to believe or to think about. You may say, well that is easy for you to say Phil because you still have a job. Please just try to hear me out.

What if… God is trying to set you up?

Honestly, just take a second and think about it. Wha if God is trying to set you up for a blessing. What if in order to bless you, God had to remove you from where you were? What if He’s got something better for you? What if you dare to believe that God is a good God? What if…?

Guitar Hero Ministry Mentality

Posted by Phil Jean on Mar 25, 2009 in Blogs, Christianity, Games, Random

I follow the blogs from Steven Furtick from Elevation Chruch http://www.stevenfurtick.com and he recently posted this, I LOVE IT!

 

Guitar Hero Ministry Mentality

If my generation isn’t careful, we may fall into a Guitar Hero mentality toward ministry:
Everybody wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords.

It’s hard work to study God’s Word.  To pray for breakthrough.  To do spiritual battle on behalf of those we lead.  To charge forward in faith for the cause of Christ.  To run a church with the highest standard of excellence.

Aspiring ministers:
Be willing to pay the price.  Or please go do something else with your life.
