Another John Weekly Message

Let it be an invitation of faith for someone or an encouragement of faith for another follower of Jesus.

Can a rollercoaster dislodge kidney stones?

Don't invite Jesus to your church! At least, don't expect him to show up and not do Jesus-y things.

The eagles may change, but how we reach out to them hasn't.

After such an accusation, you would think it'd be okay to think the worst of anyone.

If we're willing, we can give up the show and walk in deeper communion with the God of all Creation.

I'm uncomfortable begging the church to do the very minimum of what we're called to do.

If you think you are standing, watch out that you do not fall (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Taste and see that the Lord is good.

As long as our god is our belly and we set our minds on earthly things, the extent of violence won't matter too much.

Within a couple of years, the church that brought me to faith will look quite different.

You may get them to church, but will you get them to Jesus?

"Whoever says, 'I abide in him,' ought to walk just as he walked." Not by how we wish he would've walked.

God expects faithful worship. Demands it. But God does not force it.

Annoyed bosses may want you to figure worship out on your own.

Let the forgiveness God has given us be a blessing to those in need.

If we aren't creating habits of devotion, what are we missing?

A servant must rise to serve.

Acts 10 reminds us that we can find faithful people in the most unexpected places.

Let's be good at what we do. But realize a feeble trust in ourselves keeps us from trusting God more.
