Share Your World 2015 Week 35

Posted on August 31, 2015 by joseph elon lillie under For Family & Fun, Photography, Uncategorized

It is time once again to play SHARE YOUR WORLD, the game where Cee asks five questions and we answer them for the whole world to see.

If you want to see more of Cee’s world or the many worlds of her contributors just click on the icon above and you will be whisked away to Ceeland .

Here are the questions and my answers.

What made you feel good this week?

So many things really encouraged me this week. The opportunity to preach every single day was just awesome and the opportunity to baptize three new friends. Well that just can’t be beat!

For potlucks or parties do you cook it yourself, buy from a grocery store, or pay for catering?

This one really depends on the amount of time I have. This summer I have found myself buying most of my potluck fare simply because cooking time has been severely limited.

What is your favorite part of the town/city you live in. And what Country do you live?

I live in the US of A and my favorite part of town is Cornerstone Church where I work. I have had so many great experiences there over the years.

Complete this sentence: My favorite place in the whole world….. has not been established yet. I am waiting for Heaven to come to Earth!!!! Call me crazy but I believe the last chapters of the Bible (and all the ones before the end too)

Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am so grateful I got to preach at Special Touch Camp last week and at the home-going of one of God’s saints and at Cornerstone Church. This week I am looking forward to getting caught up on my reading and writing and a little R& R at the pool in Jiminy Peak.

What Happened To Pastor Wrinkles?

Posted on August 31, 2015 by joseph elon lillie under Pastor Wrinkles

Any of you who have been following me for any length of time know my alter ego is Pastor Wrinkles. Both of us (which is really just me) have been absent from WordPress for the better part of two weeks. It has been a busy and fruitful time of ministry. The first week I was busy writing sermons for the second week. Over the course of the last seven days I have preached eleven times and led one baptism service It has been an incredibly rewarding time. I marvel at what God is doing through one such as I.

It is a time of mighty harvest folks and I believe we are just at the beginning.

Here are some photos of the week that has just passed.

She has a little over 3,000.00 in monthly support to raise plus a sizeable cash budget. She needs a financial miracle. She needs to have the funding raised and be back in the Netherlands by November. We are believing with her that God is big enough to get this miracle done.

The Sweet Sufficiency of Jesus

A must read for all who seek Christ in these days!

Bread for the Bride

You know, the further I travel along this Christ-following journey, the more I’m persuaded there’s just one overwhelming priority for the Bride of Christ in this late hour.

There is no shortage of prophetic voices proclaiming numerous messages in the name of Christ: messages about the end times, spiritual warfare, cities and nations, world events, the economy, and other things that seek to occupy our minds and thoughts. But unless those prophetic messages have been received and wrestled with in the furnace of God’s consuming love they do little more than add more noise into the confusing chaos of the world around us.

Like many other Christ followers who watch and pray, I am aware of the signs of the times, the clash of the Kingdom of God with earthly kingdoms currently taking place. Beyond that watchfulness, though, there is an even deeper conviction that the Spirit is calling the…

Here are some quotes from yesterday’s sermon delivered by Pastor Brad Hackett. Which one speaks the most to your heart?

“It’s hard to pedal a bike with just one pedal.”-

“Know the Word. Do the Word.”

Out of your identity comes your activity.”

“God says, ‘Because I love you work from my love.'”

Run Away!

Great thoughts about dealing with temptation.

artistdayapart

When I was younger, I used to love running with my cross-country teams during each practice. It provided an incentive to beat the old” guy and encouraged them to get the best out of themselves (If coach is able to do this, then I should be able to.). We were fortunate that the area surrounding our school provided a plethora of woodland trails on which we could train. One year, we actually did a different workout for each practice for the entire season.

One time in particular, we were running through the woods during bow hunting season. To avoid the danger of an errant arrow we would make a lot of noise. None of my runners were hunters and didn’t want to become one later in life. So they would run through the woods shouting, “Run away! Run Away!” in high-pitched falsetto voices-ala an old Monte Python skit. We thought…
