Dear Fields Chapel Family, Words do not begin to explain, inform, or describe the devastation in the city of Moore, OK. I sit stunned. I cannot imagine how the people of the city and state are feeling today. I am brought to tears as I see the pictures and listen to their stories, especially those [...]
Several months ago I had the opportunity to read these three scripture verses as part of my daily devotion from the book Jesus Calling (great devotional, if you don’t have it you should!): “Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God; trust also in me.” John 14:1 “Wait for the Lord; be strong [...]
When I first heard/read the story of Nicodemus I thought what a great story. Here is a Jewish leader who is willing to learn more about Jesus and “convert” to following Jesus. For a long time I just assumed that that is in fact what Nicodemus had done. He went to Jesus, heard him out [...]
“Have you made a decision for Jesus or have you committed to Jesus? There is a difference. There shouldn’t be. But there is a difference. Many have made a decision to believe in Jesus without making a commitment to follow Jesus. The gospel allows for no such distinction…. When we decide to believe in Jesus [...]
In the book of John we read about the story of Nicodemus, a man who comes to Jesus “in the night”. Nicodemus knew that a relationship with Jesus was going to cost him. At night he could spend time with Jesus, speak with Jesus, learn from Jesus without anyone seeing him. He knew that to [...]
I love football. I watch it every chance I get. My family laughs at me as I go through withdrawal when the Super Bowl is over. I have my favorite teams, or teams I will cheer for over others, because I am familiar with them in some way. I lived in the town or state [...]
So, I am reading the book Not A Fan. The premise of the book is that Jesus does not want us to be fans (enthusiastic admires), but followers. And of course Chapter One begins with the question…“Are you a follower of Jesus?” Before we get to that, lets talk a minute about the prologue. [...]
Here I am on the Pastor’s Blog for the first time in a very long time. I have been using an old and ridiculous excuse…”I don’t know how to use it.” (Said with a very pitiful whine) Our techno guy, Patrick, has been very patient with me. He has never pressured me but just says [...]
Do you pray? Someone told me a long time ago that “one learns to pray by praying.” Simple enough. So do you pray? I see pray as the most important action part of my life. Some people think I pray a little weird at times, but at times it is all I got!!
I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my life where I have felt less than happy with my self. Usually it is because I have done something that I should not have, that was not very “christian” as they say. Of course as soon as I do something that is not [...]
