All In=Commitment to Obedience

We must change what we see....our lives will go in the direction of our vision....Jesus said, "Open your eyes and look....look at the fields!"

It is not a different president, a better congress, , or a Supreme court decision that changes our world, it is the prayers of people who are doing what God commanded. 2 Chronicles 7:14

In a generation that is constantly living in the moment of what pleases them, and what feels good, God honors those who choose to consider His ways greater than their own personal pleasure. Satisfaction in life does not come from satisfying every carnal need, but by knowing that you have done right in the eyes of a loving God. "I know , My God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity" 1Chronicles 29:17

In order to please God we must first start with the acceptance of His plan. We must first come in agreement with His plan to redeem us, and connect with us once again. We must surrender to His call for relationship.

Did you kno that it is possible to please God. Yes ! You can please God, and it's easier than you think! Find out what pleases the lord ~ Eph 5:10

Living a life of faith is fun. Stop emphasizing the 'No" of what ou can't do, and enjoy the "yes" and fun of what you can do. God gives us a life of freedom, joy, and fun without guilt or remorse. Teach your children to enjoy the life of a Christian.

One of the most powerful things a parent can do is learn to communicate in a style that values that values the relationship. "Reggie Joiner"

Who we are becoming is largely determined by the tribes that we let speak into our lives. Are you creating the atmosphere in which your kids can be positively influenced by the people around them?

Everyone likes a good story. What better story to tell to your children then the story of God's faithfulness in your life. Give them a legacy of faith they can tell to the next generation

2. Love Matters! We can provide for our kids, educate our kids, protect our kids , and assure that they function in today's society, but nothing beats the unconditional love of a parent. We are to be the physical example of the Love of Christ to our kids.

In a generation of fast food , high speed internet, smart phones, and social pressures what is the best thing you can offer your kids to make them successful in the future? In part one "Time Matters' Senior Pastor Darrin Ronde shares the importance of a parent taking time to be with their kids, and what your presence really means to them.

Pastor Matt Ross challenges us to believe God for what we think is impossible. 'Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see" Hebrews 11:1

It's time for us to "Get over" and "Get Under" the Cross!

Prayer is not a monologue, but a dialogue with the one who has the answers that you need.
