New Year's Resolutions Are Worthless: Trust God For MoreThis Year

New Year's Resolutions fall in the same catagory for me as wishing someone good luck.

I hate hearing preachers say "if you're really lucky..." or "when you're down on your luck..." because it's a word that totally contradicts God's sovereignty and they should know better. We should know better. Luck has no place in the Christian vocabulary. Whew...

Back to resolutions. Ever wonder why everyone's resolution is over and done with before the first day of February? It's because you're asking your flesh to buck up and battle itself and all the it's sinful desires. Eventually the real flesh will rear it's ugly head and demolish your fragile will.

So my purpose in this post is not to argue luck or resolutions, but to ask my friends- What are YOU going to trust GOD with this year? Please tell us what it is that would be impossible for you to do on your own, therefore, God is the only way it's getting done. I can't wait to hear what your desires are and how big you're willing to go. I challenge us all ,whether in a post or not, to pray for something bigger than ourselves and share that dream with someone. Go big baby!

Red Rover ,Red Rover- Let Joel Osteen Come Over

I created this blog so friends could discuss real issues and keep in touch.

I in no way want it to detract from us meeting face to face, but instead hope to create a buzz so that we would desire to meet more often.

The first topic was the validity of Joel Osteen and his minisrty. It started in an e-mail and is now going to responded to in this blog.

As previosly stated, I would love to get your opinions on the recent interview with Mike Wallace.

I'm callin him out, along with all who want to say he's doing some good or reaching another audience or whatever else people say to justify his false and puddin-pop teachings!
