I am beginning pursuit of a M.A. Christian Leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary this Fall (August 2011). This is a leap of Faith in response to a long time call to the ministry.
I continually recall my Dad's advice in our last meaningful conversation before his death, "Always trust God, remember that son, Trust God always." "I will Dad, I will."
Christ has always provided each of our needs, and will continue to do so as we seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness; all else will be added to unto you, me and all who seek Christ.

Store Treasures in Heaven
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Mt. 6:19-21
A devastating tsunami hit Japan on March 11, 2011, April thru May 2011, tornados rip through numerous states including Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts and Missouri; killing hundreds while destroying billions of dollars worth of property.
This week, dam flood gates along the Missouri River are releasing record amounts of water down-stream due to a combination of poor planning and record snow and rain amounts upstream. Fortunately, I have not heard of any resulting deaths. Millions, probably billions, of dollars of property loss is rapidly occurring.
Devastating fires are destroying portions of Arizona.
These events remind us, anyone can lose all of their physical possessions, treasures, in minutes. Only by God’s grace are some of us spared. Where are your treasures stored? Are they stored in heaven? Are you placing and keeping your heart with Christ?
Storing our treasures, our hearts, with Christ in heaven does not protect us from earthly devastation. Investing in heaven, committing your life and heart to Christ, does protect your heart and soul. Christ assures us inner peace, regardless of earthly circumstances.
Christ will provide for you and your family when all hope appears vanished. Investing in heaven, Jesus Christ, enables five loaves and two fish to feed thousands of people. Those losing homes and property need food, water and shelter.
Invest in their needs; invest in their souls, invite them to church, send them a Bible. A Church full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the inerrant Word of God, will supply all of their needs, providing eternal inner peace. This eternal peace begins instantly, on earth.
Are you investing where moths, thieves, rust, fires, tornados, and flooding are absent any power over your investment? Are you investing in heaven, in ministries boldly proclaiming salvation through Christ alone?
There are many excellent ministries, here a few:
Grand Junction, CO - Young Life or Young Life Kent Frieling serves on the Board in Grand Junction
Gull Lake Ministries – Daniel Wallace: Director
Campus Crusade – Jason Coorts
Prayerfully and generously give where you believe the Lord is leading you to do so. The results for all, including you, are amazing.
See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!

THINK INSIDE THE BIBLE!
(This written message is from personal notes recorded in 2004-2005)
Do you frequently hear, “Think outside the box?”
When introduced, the concept initiated expanding our possibility thinking. Unfortunately, many now “Think outside the box” of right and wrong, outside of morals and ethics.
Lucifer / Satan originated "Thinking outside the Box" of God's wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. The serpent then convinced Eve and Adam to "Think outside the Box" of Godly wisdom, God's Word, resulting in the introduction of sin. “Outside the Box” equates to outside of the Bible!
I researched scanned various job postings. Few, if any, list honesty and integrity as requirements for their respective positions. Perhaps, one may argue they lack specific listing because management expects these attributes.
Does management also expect excellent communications skills, serving customers, meeting and exceeding goals, etc? Most job descriptions frequently specific these attributes. Prudence mandates these necessary characteristics as equally necessary.
A great deal of interviewers flinch with the idea of mandating honesty and integrity. Secular organizations and businesses prefer candidates who forgo these concepts to reach and exceed corporate goals. “Profit always, integrity when convenient.”
Rather than, “Think outside the box” of morals and ethics, wisdom suggests we, “Think inside the Bible.”
“Thinking Inside the Bible” generates:
· Love of God
· Love of People
· Righteousness - being right with Christ.
· Morality
· Honesty
· Pure heart and mind
· Integrity
· Forgiveness
· Faith
· Humble Spirit
· Gentle
· Hope
· Peace
These fruits cause self-imposed limits of achievements to disseminate.
The Bible illustrates this barrier elimination in an array of passages including, “Nothing is impossible with God” and “All things are possible through Christ who strengthens us.” Consider this profound revelation: ALL means ALL.
God defines and contains the limits of all good.
The COMPACT OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY defines All, “the greatest possible.” We simply must act in accordance with Christ, the Word made flesh.
Our greatest successful achievements reside in “the greatest possible” from Christ. I invite you to Think Inside The Bible!
Quickly repent, reject thoughts and actions contrasting biblical righteousness and fruits of the Spirit. Forgive yourself and others. Love your peers, family, friends, and competitors as much as you love yourself.
Love desires the absolute best, the deepest possible personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This includes communication with the Holy Spirit.
Love God—Father, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit—with all of your heart, soul, strength, and mind. If and when anyone invites you to “Think Outside the Box,” rebuke the originator of wicked thoughts, Satan and all his works.
Your greatest possible success hinges upon your ability and willingness to:
See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
