What is the driving force in a "real" church!!!

I am so thankful for the anointing and the presence of the Holy Spirit!! I catch a lot of flack over my comments about how the donuts are fresh and the coffee is hot at COWBOY COUNTRY CHURCH; folks tease me and ask me if that's how we have built our church. If we didn't have the presence of the Holy Spirit, it would take a lot more than donuts and…

Jesus will be judged by the way that you Love others today. Why?? Because He set the standard!!

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.....

When you speak, speak in a godly way; speak the "oracles" of God. If you will meet the needs of others in your ministry, do it with the abilities that God has given you. Why? So "that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ , to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. AMEN." ~ 1 Peter 4:11 "For…

Jesus Awareness is MUCH, MUCH better than self-awareness

I started thinking about getting older and what would happen to my wife if something happened to me? What would happen to COWBOY COUNTRY CHURCH?? Surely my wife would…

God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:13 We are all tempted by the same old things. There is nothing unusual about YOUR temptation…

Ask, believe, and continue to seek God for things that need healing in your life!!

The Bible tells us that we have not because we ask not (James 4:2), and it also tells us to ask with a believing heart and be willing to wait on the answer. We serve a God who is a healing God and a Faithful God to do what he says, but He IS God and most of the time He will do things surprisingly different than the way that you think He will; in His timing, not yours. The healing may come instantly or it may come in…
