REUNION! A BBQ & Praise Fest Gathering, Too!


An SNC Reunion BBQ and Praise Fest Gathering is being tossed around. We've spoken to a few of the SNC Gang who seem quite excited about this.

We'll have a BBQ Pot Luck at a local home and at another time and location enjoy a time of Praise, Worship, Sharing and Fellowshipping together (even with a meal ... just like always). If you have any ideas let me know asap as we get the word out and dates settled.

THE MISSION IS STILL BEFORE US
In early April 2007, on our yearly anniversary trip to Maine, Kathy and I viewed a new video series on being missionaries to introduce non-Christ followers to Jesus. The 4-Lesson series is based on the book and life of a Chicago pastor who has branched out from the comforts of his church community and has embraced others outside that community to see the staggering results of others giving their lives to Jesus. The title of the series is "Just Walk Across the Room" and is a fantastic home neighborhood connection to aid in our mission. Further, just last week I picked up a six-lesson video series that addresses much of the same, but from a younger generation non-Christ followers mindset. This too, is by a pastor from California who has branched out from his "comfort-bubble" (his words ... but I agree) based on the book he wrote less than a year ago called "They Like Jesus But Not the Church". For any who may be interested in hosting and/or connecting in such a home connection, let Mike know and we'l plan accordingly. There's a mission before us and we can't become comfortable in our bubbles!

CHECK THIS OUT!
The post on this blog site just prior to this one is for a new missional connection we're calling NORTHPoint Network. Read more about it by clicking onto the address of the NORTHPoint Site. I am excited as to what the Lord may lead this new venture to! Watch both this blog and NPN for a CoffeeConnection we want to establish ... a weekly gathering in the early morning of missional minded Christ-Followers around coffee and the Word to see Jesus on His Mission and how it affects us!

You'll be hearing from me soon!

MMB Monday Morning Blog 8-26-24 Seasons

There are four season in the year. In Florida, where I currently live, the season are here too but not like in New Hampshire where I'm from. Florida has HEAT. I remember visiting my parents back in the 90s at their winter home in Wachula around Thanksgiving. We already had snow before our drive south. As we hit Virginia and North Carolina it was apparent we were no longer in the frozen tundra. My parent's mobile home had two bedrooms. It wasn't big enough for us and our two sons. They did, however, have a pop-up trailer under the carport, so it was fine. To stay in a pop-up in Northern New England in late November mas near impossible. You would begin to shiver in about 5 minutes. Nights would reach a low of 0°-20°F. But not so in Florida. After a great Thanksgiving feast we went shopping at the local Walmart. They no longer stay open on Thanksgiving. As I walked into the store I was hit with culture shock. The store was in festive colors and lighting for Christmas but one t...

Reality ... REALLY?

Welcome to the new reality. It's everywhere in our world not just our country. It's been a path we've been on since before the turn of this decade.  Before 2000, it was called untruthfulness but today it has taken many forms. And it escapes from many mouths of people no matter what their stance in this life. News reporters, politicians, store owners, restaurant owners, etc have all adopted the terms. You may even have a co-worker who has adopted the new normal.  Another word beside untruthful has slowly taken center stage in the era we live and that word is "lie". It appears we tell people what they want hear rather than what is truthful. So we hear statements which may include untrue components and when called out about it we hear words like misinformation or disinformation . There's also unverified or unsubstantiated statements. I see there is more claims like these are made by those twisting words to make the subject they spin is true. Reality in 2024 is...

He Who Has An Ear -- MMB 10-21-24

Those words in the title come from Revelation 2 and 3 as John writes Jesus' words to the seven churches. Except for a very few, most of us have two ears. Jesus simply says, "he who has an ear let him hear...". Sadly, at times we shut out hearing the Lord, or tune in to things other than the Lord, or even replace hearing Him with hearing our enemy.  Psalm 112:7-9 NLT: "They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them" "They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly" "Their good deeds will be remembered forever" "They will have influence and honor"   Psalm 112 illustrates what our ears need to hear from the Almighty. First, confidently trust the Lord. That means without waivering. He cares for us so why seek anything else? Just throw yourself in His care alone. Second, confidently and fearlessly remain in Him. We can have triumph over foes. Third, do good. Good deeds mark the person wal...
