Give.

Here is your stone!! "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" (Acts 20:35 NIV). We all feel like there are things we need. Be encouraged today and lets begin to give those items we may feel we need to others today. See how God will bless you in so many ways.

Respond to Opportunity

Here is your stone!! "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:15, 16 NIV). We have no choice. He provides us great opportunities but again we are require to act!! Opportunities when given action and obedience become Accomplishments.

Leadership from Learner Ship

Here is your stone!! "The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom." (Deuteronomy 28:13 NIV). The word of God is so simple and parental. It is leadership. Too often we say, I want to grow or I want to be a better leader. It is simple....PAY ATTENTION and Carefully Follow. God is providing you His word and often council from around you. We say we seek but yet we create our own findings. Want to grow in leadership? Grow first in learnership.

Living Life

Here is your stone!! "This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. NOW CHOOSE LIFE so that you and your children may live" (Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV). One thing is for sure, if you are reading this message, YOU ARE ALIVE, but that doesn't mean you have chosen LIFE. Life is a gift from God, we can choose to take it or not. Eternal life doesn't start when you physically die, it starts TODAY!! It won't be perfect, easy, or all happy go lucky, at least not yet. It is yours to choose. Go ahead, what's your pick? Me? I choose Life Lived Out!

Future Present and The Difference Maker

Here is your stone!! "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." (Romans 12:12 NIV). Joyful, Patient, and Faithful. Are these three word used by others to describe us? No matter how you slice this, it is total reliance on God. He has the map of your life. Are you committed to letting Him lead? Start today to show Joy, Patience, and Solid Faith.

On the other side!!

Here is your stone!! "The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. Lord, save us!
Lord, grant us success!" (Psalm 118:24, 25 NIV). Today!! Claim it and celebrate it!! There is a Challenge, Struggle, or Decision we face today. We must see that what lays before us is there by the will of God. We can seek Him and claim it!! He is there. Let us celebrate whatever it is, that in the other side of that decision will be success!!

Stones or Jones

Here is your stone!! "Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith." (Galatians 6:10 NLT). In the last few weeks I have spent time in areas with limited cell service. During that time I began to wonder and ask if I am spending too much time on creating "The Stones" and not enough on Jones. I realize that from the word God has given me today, that both needs to happen. I want to challenge all of you on this text to download either the you version bible, Brand New Church App, or something for you to be able to read God's word daily. In fact, I'd love to hear what He is speaking into your life. Praise God that we live in a country that we are able to worship. Thank God that He has given us His word to have daily. Pour into others today and allow God to use your life to bless and lead others.
