Solving the Mystery: An Excerpt from Overflowing

The Big “If”: An Excerpt from Overflowing

The Coming Ruin

What’s Your Super Power? An Excerpt from Overflowing
An Excerpt from Overflowing: The word Paul selected was the word “dynamis” from which we extract the English word, “dynamite”. Paul believed the power given from heaven’s unlimited resources should enable believers in every epoch to blow up earthly systems and decimate a compromised culture.
Carefully & Lovingly Planted
What do you intend to grow in that fertile ground that is known as “you”? I determined long ago that the character stakes planted in the open ground of my life would be labeled “integrity” and “kindness”.

What’s Your Addiction?
Addictions. We all have them. Some additions are healthy … some are benign … while others are devastatingly harmful. Have I lost you already? Let me explain.
The Hope of Spring
It’s nearly the merry month of May … and the sun is shining almost daily now. “Spring is God’s way of saying, “One more time!” – Robert Orben The frigid clouds of winter have finally started to disappear and have made way for the glorious billows of spring. The thermometer is about to go above 60 degrees … and I just want to shout at the hope of things to come!

I live in the state of Oklahoma … where the wind comes sweeping down the plains. In Oklahoma… the spring is a stormy season. We have windstorms … hailstorms … thunderstorms … and tornados.

Our culture truly is broken, you know. However … there is a way … a joyful way … to live abundantly in the middle of it!
The Sea of Bitterness
Do you know anyone who is bitter? Many bitter people choose this sordid emotion because of their childhood … or due to a failed marriage. Some people are bitter because of the economy … or due to the way their adult children treat them … or because someone that they loved dearly died too soon. Some people mistakenly believe that they have a right to be bitter just because life has thrown them a curve ball or two.
