14 days

We are only 14 days away from Without Dilution '10!!! I am seriously beyond pumped, I think that this could be the night that a young man or woman could "break the mold," and find that when God is the one doing the molding and the forming of your life that there is alot less heart ache and pain, there is life and more than that, it's abundant life!

You see breaking the mold is more than going against the grain of our society, it is more than taking a stand for purity, it is more than abstaining from bad movies or music, it's about breaking the mold of sin that we are all born into, it's about becoming humble before God and giving him the broken pieces of our sinful heart and letting Him begin to mold us and make us into His image!

Be there @ 6:30 on April 14th at the white auditorium on the campus of northwest Arkansas community college exit 86 off of I-540 in Rogers, Ar.

God bless,

Faith - The End

Faith is such a difficult topic to discuss, it is one of thos things that is widely misunderstood, you see we view faith as a means to an end when faith is the end...we think of faith as a tool to vet us what we want from God when God really just wants us to have faith!!!

Think of the heroes of the faith in Hebrews 11, the Bible says that there were some that died in faith not having received the tangible fulfillment of the promise God made to them, wow, how can we have a faith like that, simple have an eternity focused faith...all of these heroes had one thing in common, they were looking for something better, a city whose builder and maker is God!!!

Want to be a great man or woman of faith look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, have an eternity focused faith!!!

God Bless,

The Right Tools

So I walked out to the garage Saturday morning to begin my errand running and our van had a flat, I was unable to do anything about as the tire shops were about to close so I had to wait until Monday to get it taken care of. So Sunday night I got out there and got the jack out of the back of the van and started jacking the van up so I could get the tire out and as I was doing that I noticed that the jack was leaning it was almost to the point that it couldn't go any higher and I still had quite a bit of height to go.

It was frustrating, disappointing and it was a little scary because at any moment that jack could have slipped out from underneath the van and it might have come out and hit me, that would not have been good!! So I went to my neighbors house and he was kind enough to lend me his NASCAR jack that got the van to where I needed it in 3 pumps!!

As I was coming inside my wife said wow that didn't take long and I as the words came out of my mouth the Holy Spirit began to speak to me, I told her, "things are alot easier when you have the right tools." And I realized that so many times I try to use the wrong tools to get things done in my walk with God and it can be frustrating, disappointing, and scary at times. I try so many times to do things in my own power when I should be letting God fight my battles!!

But when we use the tools that God has given us then things are a lot easier!!

Are you using the right tools?

Who are you?

Heard a great message tonight on raising up a standard against the enemy, to know that when the enemy comes in like a flood, that God will raise up a standard against him.

The thing that most spoke to me was when the preacher said that we have to realize who we are fighting, we are fighting against the enemy that is coming against us, not ourselves...we are not defined by our battle, our temptation, our sickness, we are saints of God, soldiers in the army of the Lord and we are fighting against the prince of the power of the air.

So you may be wondering who you are, if you have have been saved, you are child of God and you must know that you are more than a conqueror through Christ!

Family

The first established institution that God created was the family, this speaks volumes figuratively and literally...we are in Texas spending some time with family this weekend and I realized that family is something that you are to guard above all else!

If you win a million souls to Christ but your family is lost, you have failed at the first thing that God wants us to do, make sure our family is saved...that is what God stressed when he told Noah to build the ark and to bring his family aboard and after that preach to the others on the earth!

What is your families spiritual status?

Without Dilution '10

Getting very excited about Without Dilution twenty10, the flyer's came in today and we made our first drop today to a youth pastor here in town and he was already very excited about the conference! I am very much looking forward to what God is going to do, I am expecting incredible life changing stories to come out of this conference!! NOTHING is impossible for God!!

There will be great music, there will be an iPod touch given to 1 guy and 1 girl, there is a great lineup of speakers that will be there, and there will be a ton of young people there that are seeking for more from God and all they need is a little push in the right direction!!!

Put it on your calendar April 14th @ 6:30 P.M.!!!!

God Bless,

The Word of God

Heard several great messages over the past couple of days and out of the many things that I received out of these services, one of the things that stuck out the most was this, do you believe the Word of God?

Everything that we do stems out of that one simple fact, if you really believe the Word of God then that opens up almost an entirely new world to you! Think about the verse that says that with men everything is impossible but with God all things are possible...Wow the possibilities when we realize that we are nothing and can do nothing, but with God anything is possible!!!

God Bless,

Condoms - A bandaid for a bigger problem

I am incredibly righteously angry right now, I just read a report that there is a company in Switzerland that is making smaller condoms that will be small enough to fit 12 year old boys. What?? That was my first reaction, soon followed by sadness, righteous indignation, and sadly a feeling that it really doesn't surprise me.

What more should I expect from a society that says, let's not teach our young people why it is so beneficial to them to wait to have sex until they are married, but instead, takes an attitude that says that teenagers are just going to have sex no matter what so lets just try and prevent any further damage. This is the problem with being too politically correct, instead of telling someone that they are wrong in what they are doing and telling them what is right, we instead give them the knowledge to know how to have sex and provide for them an environment that basically encourages being sexually active and wonder why our young people are so emotionally and psychologically messed up.

Instead of teaching them it's wrong to inflict pain upon themselves, we give them a band-aid that just might keep them from more pain and it might not. Great job society, great job.

We need some people that will not be afraid to stand up and proclaim the truth, will you give out band-aids, or will you address the bigger problem, SIN?

God Bless,

Be Still

So, I have been praying about one certain thing for about a month now and trying to what we humans always do, and that is try to figure the situation out on my own and as I sit here watching my son play I heard the Holy Spirit speak these words...Be still and know that I am God!

I immediately thought of Moses as God spoke those words, how hard it must have been to "be still" at that moment! This is something that is hard for us to do as we(humans) love to control everything, but the most important thing we can do is be still and let God work like He wants to!!!
In the end His name will be glorified and the dreams He has given you he will fulfill!

So, Be still and know that He is God!!!


God Bless,
Nathan

Seek Wisdom

@ Life Church we have a Men's Bible Study that we do every Wednesday morning @ Panera Bread and we just finished up the Freedom Begins Here devotional book, which was excellent by the way and were discussing what we wanted to study next. One of the guys there suggested that we do a study on Proverbs, so that is what we are going to do. I try to read a proverb every day, because there is just so much practical wisdom in that book.

As I began to to skim over it today, I noticed something right off the bat, and that was this, God wants us to seek after wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

I mean think about it, you start seeking after wisdom and you will find out that pretty soon what you are finding is more of God. You will begin to have a knowledge of who God really is, and that is where you will receive wisdom. Get close enough to God to start to know who He really is and you will find yourself becoming more like Him!

God Bless,

Nathan

Break Down The Walls

I am very excited about what God is doing right now, I believe that we are at the beginning stages of a nationwide revival. I believe that God is beginning to break down the walls of religion, the walls of competition between churches and denominations and we, the church of America, are at the point now that we don't care who receives the fruit from prayers and labor, but that God gets the glory and His kingdom is built!!

The last days revival is happening right now, are you going to be a part? Lay aside your pride, lay aside your selfishness and begin to pray that God will pour out His Spirit on not only your church, but the one down the road...Pray that not only will he pour out His Spirit on the Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Church of Gods, etc. We all need Almighty God to pour out His Spirit on us!!!

Will you be the head of a revival, or will you bring up the tail??

God Bless,

Nathan
