Mike Bitter from Christian Church of Waterloo, Nebraska tells the Palm Sunday story. He tells how Jesus boldly and courageously went into Jerusalem knowing the end result. Jesus did exactly what HIS Father told him to do. Are you listening? Are you doing what our Father has called us to do? With most worldly distractions gone for the time being, we have time to reflect on our relationship with God and “get right” with HIM if you’re not already there.

If you feel lost, have pain or you have chains that are keeping you from who you can be, Zach Williams has the answer. Here you go…..

I thought this to be apropos with everything going on in the world. It is important to have something to believe so strongly about.

Pastor Mike Bitter of Christian Church of Waterloo presents the Sunday morning message about your preparation for what you are about to go through. You’ve been prepared. God has prepared you. Our Lord does not mean for us to be afraid, but on the contrary He told us “Don’t be afraid”. Fear only happens when you lose focus on the Lord. He will see you through. You ARE ready for this!

Experiencing God Parts 6 – 7 and the Conclusion Are we doing His will or something we think we should be doing FOR Him? The answer is in the Bible. Pastor Mike Bitter wraps up the Experiencing God series with Realities 6 and 7 and the wrap up and conclusion of the series.

It does not matter whether you’re a Christian, an atheist or agnostic, I see everyone pitching in and helping. We are having to look at things differently, and that’s ok. We might not understand what God is doing, but what is He asking you to do? Where does He want you to be involved?

In my last post I talked about being in that “season.”  I’ve found we go through seasons in our life.  Be sure your not in a down season with Christ, the fight and all the day to day stuff you need to deal with.  We’ll always be fighting for one thing or the other.

I’ve seen some pastors who should maybe to into their retirement phase of life, but for some reason they don’t, but I see incredible things happening with the ones who don’t retire.  They do what my friend Frank calls “retooling” one’s self.

It’s not doing the same old thing, leave that up to the up and coming people you’ve shepherded and mentored.  It’s their time.

I sometimes wonder if pastors have much of anything to retire with.  So how is this problem overcome?  Leave a not in the block below.

Peace unto you and everyone you touch.

To all pastors,

Hang in there and don’t give up.  We are what is making a difference in the world.  Many you know will come along side you.  Take them in and take care of them.  They will be the people you can mentor into leading their part of the Kingdom.

It’s not easy.  More than 1700 pastors are dropping out from behind the pulpit every month.  Then the argument is how many are coming into the pulpit, but my thoughts are to keep the trained, the equipped in the field, guiding the troops, as it were.

You are gifted, talented, full of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Keep preaching the Word with me. Don’t give up,  The Lord has called you to be where you are for this season.

Peace be unto you.
