Walk as Jesus Did
‘Preach the gospel always and when necessary use words.’ That quote has been attributed to Francis of Assisi for many years, I have used it myself from time to time. It seems however, that it may not have been the exact words the Franciscan spoke or he may not have said it at all. Regardless of the origin, the thought behind the phrase is valid for work place believers.
Paul dramatically expressed what love is in 1 Cor 13:4-8a, 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails
Time to Hear
I heard it said many years ago, when God stops speaking to you, go back to the last place you said no to Him and say yes.
Obedience is always the path for moving forward with the Lord, even when it doesn’t make sense to you or me. There are times when the Lord will ask us to do something that seems silly. All I can say is we can not see nor understand the consequences of our actions. So when the Lord asks you to do something, just do it.
When we are obedient in the small things, it sets us up for greater responsibility and bigger impact. I see that in our business and ministry. We started very small in both areas. The Lord has increased our responsibility and reach in the live event streaming world. The impact from our walk with Him has increased significantly just in the last year.

A great new series from Elevation Church and Steven Furtick.
Stepping Out
I have a sense the Lord is speaking specifically to a person or group of people through the last several devotionals.
There are 2 things I’ve learned in my walk with our Father, it’s always better to do His will for our lives and giving Him absolute control of our life is essential.
This does not mean we throw caution to the wind and do something foolish or that we do not have to participate in the work. Jesus used a boys lunch to feed the 5000, He started with something to demonstrate the need for us to sacrifice what we have for His purpose.
Do You Know Who You Are?
One of the greatest tools I was given upon returning to the Father’s house was the need to live a transparent life. Nothing hidden, everything out in the open, always tell the truth.
Living a transparent life is not easy. There are times when the Lord asks you to bare your soul to the world. It’s always embarrassing and deeply personal but, in being transparent, it allows others to know they can move beyond their sins, past and present. It’s in these times I truly understand how much I have been forgiven and how grateful I am for my Lord’s grace and mercy.

Precious Deaths
Yesterday we attended a local church pastored by a friend we met many years ago. The worship was sweet and spirit filled, it blessed us. The pastor got up to close the worship portion of the service expressing how we must open our lives completely to our Lord. We must surrender every aspect, nothing hidden, nothing locked out from our Father.
Many years ago I counseled a man going through a difficult time in his marriage. His wife had caused him many problems with his bosses in the military to the point they had considered filing charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justices. Ultimately they gave him a written reprimand that delayed his promotion to the next rank.
