Thoughts from Bill

Time moves quickly
life moves fast
Once the Genie is out of the bottle
You can’t put it back.

The good or the bad

Are you a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness? I use to read the sixth chapter of Romans and think this was dependent on me and my behavior. The idea being, what condition was my condition in? A tool to evaluate myself and my actions, but I was getting it all...

Position, esteem and rank are man made attempts to exercise authority. Given position and seeking position are complete polar opposites. In fact God wanted nothing to do with setting up kings, God Himself wanted to mediate with man directly but because of mans hard...

If you live in the United States, and just about anywhere in the world a red light at an intersection tells you to bring your vehicle to a complete stop. It's a simple instruction, a law, if you don't obey it there may be dire consequences, anything from a warning, a...

Several weeks ago, where I work a Canadian Goose began to show up who was injured, He (because I don't know any better, could be she) had some how lost his right foot. He had the stem all the way down to where the foot would join. Over several days I watched Hank,...

Yesterdays events struck a nerve, I worked in that building at one point and was all over the Yard at another as a police officer. Looking at the list of people who's lives were snuffed out so quickly and without any warning made me think, it could have been me. They...

I had a friend post on fb post "it is finished" I got very excited and just had to talk about what that means and how important that statement is. "It is finished" was actually a Greek word that Jesus said "Totalisti", its an accounting term that means "Paid in full"...

As you sit and have a cup of coffee and your bagel this morning, reading your newspaper, think about this. At about this time some 2000 years ago Jesus was being dragged back and forth from the Sanhedrin, to Herod, to Pilate, having spent most of the night being...

Through my own personal journey of walking with the Lord, I have come to the place where I have had to ask myself, what am I doing, where am I going, what is going on? It's a natural thing, all of us do this, its part of "being", but the question that has to be asked,...

Today is a very important day in the history of the United States, 11 years ago we were thrust suddenly and violently into conflict. Several of our nations; the worlds, icons of power and freedom were tarnished and scared. innocent lives cut off before their time,...

There are many voices today claiming to know new or revealed knowledge while leaving sound biblical doctrine and establishing strange doctrines. While everyone agrees these folks are wolves. What is alarming to me is the blending of some of these practices that are...

While it happens every year during the third week of November, it was not much of a holiday until the second year of the American Civil War. The President at that time, Abraham Lincoln, wanted to find something that would be symbolic to represent not only persevering...

This morning, I was laying asleep and the alarm went off telling me it was time to get up. I had a very restless night with some odd dreams and not getting much rest. Exercising a foolish attempt to get more sleep I hit the snooze button. Just as I would fall asleep...

Did you know that the first Sabbath day was mans very first full day? The Sabbath was created for man, meaning that God designated our very first full day of existence to be His day of rest. A day to spend with us, no burdens, no expectations, just the Creator...

Most people think, "if I spend time learning about Jesus and Kingdom principals I will be equipped to fend off all the fires of life." That's somewhat true, but I can tell you a better way. By spending time with Jesus, to actually know him, and him you, as you invite...

At one point in time I thought a Man was what people thought of him, how they esteemed him, so I tried to be the person people would look up to. But I found emptiness; Then I thought a Man is someone who has power and influence over what he does, that others would...

Have you ever wondered why you struggle to do ministry? I know I sure have. I have many times thought "didn't God give me the vision to do this?" " All I want to do is to please him, what's with all the struggling?" Ministry, real ministry is more than meets the eye....

Just because we can do something like use RFID as a way to harness and manage tasks, does it make it a good thing? Watch the movie and learn how we are moving faster and faster into the brave new world we have been warned about for such a long time. It absolutely...

I have been spending time with some friends talking about what real Christianity looks like. It's funny, because most of what people think of is, being good, kind, patient and the like, but that's not it. I mean, don't get me wrong, those things are all very...

I find myself asking why am I doing this or that a lot these days. What we do, when we do it, how we do it, no matter what it is, from making a meal, to reading a book, is all rooted in what our motivation is for the doing the action. Even the smallest of actions has...

Yesterday I had the privilege of teaching Sunday school to the 7 -12 year old's at my church. They are at a great age for learning and observing. The story we were going over was the story of David being anointed king of Israel 1Samuel 16 1-16. If your not familiar...

Once again I have been hearing from God in my hectic crazy quiet time with Him. This time its been what are you going to do? I know what you want, I know what you think you need He says to me. But what is it your going to do? When are you going to be My church, My...

Lately I have been asking God to bring me to a place of true brokenness. Where I can be useful, pliable and teachable. My wife and I went on a vacation to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and I figured during that time perhaps I would hear from God about what it...
