Criggle's Blog: February 2011
http://criggle.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Friday, February 4, 2011. I have named the year of 2011 "The Year of Being Aware." The word aware means having or showing realization, perception, or knowledge. I was recently at a retreat with the MCM Network of pastors in Pittsburgh and a good friend of mine, Brian Bolt spoke on being aware. He said how we can be unaware of what God is going because we are so focused on doing what we think we should be doing. That hit me because that is me. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Wednesday, January 6, 2010. 2010: The Year of Cultivating. It isn't pleasant. But in the end, it brings about growth and that makes it worth it. So get ready for all that God is going to do in 2010. And be encouraged to personally name your year. Tuesday, January 5, 2010. Now those thoughts can be taken out of context and developed into pride and a bad attitude, but in the right context should propel us. May Christ change the way we think when it comes to being a disc...

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Your Heart, Part 2. We must also be careful of the Proud Heart. Pride can hinder our intimacy with God. Pride can also lead to self-reliance. I notice it in myself. Maybe you've heard people talk about how others can't do things the way that they can? I admit that I've done it. Why?

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Tuesday, October 27, 2009. What Do You Think. I wanted to share some thoughts that have been on my heart. They deal with who we are and what we do as Christians. Here is a quote by Francis Chan, pg. 32-33, from his book "Forgotten God":. So instead of thinking about what "I" can watch, listen to, do, etc., let's think about those around us who struggle with those very things. The church is supposed to have found freedom from all of that in Jesus Christ. Wh...I always ...

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Monday, July 19, 2010. Your Heart, Part 3. Sometimes, as Christians, we can develop a resentful heart. How? When you are in ministry, whether pastoring or teaching or helping etc., you can get hurt. People do not always respond the way you think they will when it comes to teaching and/or preaching. This can lead to resentment. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Your Heart, Part 2. We must also be careful of the Proud Heart. Pride can hinder our intimacy with God. I was recently...

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Use the Whole Brain. I want to take time to encourage you to continue to creatively read the Bible. I shared this past Sunday about an observation made by someone that I had never even thought about before. They shared their thoughts on the Prodigal Son. If he was so hungry and longed to eat what he was feeding the pigs, why didn't he just eat it? Did he think the pigs would "squeal" on him? What is worthy of praise? 4 Write about your re...

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Tuesday, November 24, 2009. CORRECTION: WOW, What a Great Turkey Dinner! We just did our annual FREE Turkey Dinner for our community last night - Monday, November 23 - and had our best turnout ever. We served well over 200 people a free hot meal and showed them the love of Jesus. I'm praying that the impressions that people have of us being an occult are done away with as we serve people and show them the love of Jesus. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ford City, PA, Unite...

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Tuesday, July 6, 2010. I was recently asked to help mentor someone through their internship class through Global University. What a privilege it is to help another person pursue the calling God has placed on them. I have taken this privilege as a serious responsibility. I believe this person has a great call and I know that Satan will do whatever he can to try and steal, kill, and destroy this calling. As people question, may the calling of God become greater. Peo...

Gazing into the Corridor of my Mind! Monday, March 29, 2010. Our goal for this year has been to become better at reaching out to families. We want to give families a place to come and hang out and have fun. But most importantly, we want to see families come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. What a way to start. Let's do it again for the glory of God! Wednesday, March 3, 2010. As I read these verses, I can't help but wonder if we have done this in our church's? Do you know what I mean? I'm looking f...
