“Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.” Matthew 22:9
After taking a couple of road trips across the country, I have discovered where I live is one of the worst spots for traffic in the country. In order to visit family members, we have to plan to leave at certain times if we don’t want to sit in traffic for hours. The highways are always jammed during the morning and evening commute along with other times of the day!
Three Things about Traffic:

“This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11b
One of my most favorite things to do growing up was to visit my grandparents’ house. It seemed as though my grandma always knew exactly when we would arrive. Inevitably, she would be standing in the kitchen window and see us when we pulled into the driveway. Then, when we would leave, my grandma and grandpa would walk us out and then stand in the road waving to us as we drove away. My grandma would always say, “Come back when you can stay awhile.”

“But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13
Today, I and some guy friends are going to the streets to tell the good news. This news is not about the stock market, the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P were up on Friday. This news is not about each middle school student at my son’s school getting a chrome book. This news is not even about the Seahawks winning yesterday.

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” John 10:11
This morning, I had the privilege of dropping my boys off for school. My favorite part of today was when each of my boys, before they got out of the truck, leaned their head on my shoulder for me to give them a kiss on the head.

“And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.” Psalm 1:3
In my previous life (I’m not referring to reincarnation
), I would be getting up at Davis camp this morning. Davis camp is a place that I love. It is a place that my grandparents camped during their hunting trips for a span over 50+ years. Then, for the last 15+ years, Me and my family have carried the tradition.

“Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;” Hebrews 12:28
I love the thought of Castles!
I am fascinated by Castles! I’ve never been in a castle. I’ve never stood in front of a castle. I’ve never even driven by a Castle. I just love the thought of Castles!

“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
I recently listened to a podcast by Thom Rainer that spoke of the effectiveness of churches in reaching people for Christ. The reality of many churches growing is their growth is coming from transfers. Transfer growth is when Christians decide to relocate from one church to another. Though this can be very encouraging for the receiving church, there is no real growth in the Kingdom.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Does the cross have any significance to you?
Rebecca and I were going to some furniture stores looking for a dining room table. As we were walking up to the second one, an older couple came walking out of the store and I noticed the man had a cross necklace on. The cross seemed a bit bigger than I usually notice on necklaces. I told him that I liked his cross and then asked, “does it have any significance to you?” He replied by saying that his wife buys him cross necklaces. His wife walked up while he was saying that and so I told her I like the cross necklace that she had on as well.

Daddy…do you believe it is a sign from God?
Two weeks ago, I was taking a group of youth from the church downtown to talk to people about Jesus. The question we were using was, “What are your thoughts on the Solar Eclipse?” We received many different responses to that question. As we were preparing to leave the church, I read an article to the group about some people believing that this Solar Eclipse, happening on August 21st, is a sign from God.

“While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to
the message.” Acts 10:44
Everyone needs to hear…Everyone needs to know…Everyone needs Jesus!
Who am I to decide whether or not the next person I come across needs to hear about Jesus? Who am I to judge whether a person will accept the message or not?
