The Need For God

One of our world’s greatest needs is the ability and desire to share God.  In order for you to take hold of all that

generosity has to offer, you must share God with every person you encounter. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.xlvi  I am not talking about pushing your beliefs on others, which will actually have the opposite effect on people than what you should be striving for.  Don’t be pushy!  Simply learn to share by the life you lead.  Share by example!  Live your life in such a way that people see the positive results you achieve.  They will take note of it and that’s when they will begin to ask questions. 

The Third Episode

This is my third episode of Renewed2Win. I am still using old audio recordings from my days as a youth pastor. I will probably continue to do that for the remainder of the year as because I am trying to get more blog posts up on the website. Feedback is greatly appreciated as I get this program started. Audio is a problem that, hopefully, I will be able to correct soon. God has been good to me throughout these early days of Renewed2Win. Thanks for your support.

The Second Episode

This is my second episode of Renewed2Win. My goal is to get better each week until I have a world-class program. Feedback is greatly appreciated as I get this program started. Audio is a problem that, hopefully’, I will be able to correct soon. Thanks for your support.

The Season Is Changing

The first day of Autumn was sometime last week. We are definitely not experiencing those

nice brisk mornings followed by a comfortable day. No it is hot and humid here in Connecticut. Although, the leaves are changing rapidly… they say that’s because we are in a drought. I love fall weather and I can’t wait until it finally arrives for the season. …

Christmas Starts Today!

It’s been feeling a lot like Christmas. Yesterday I had to run some errands which brought me into two major retail stores. Both Walmart and Costco have already set up their holiday displays. So what about Halloween? What about Thanksgiving?

Then this morning it was kind of cold in the house so I had to get a fire going in the wood stove to warm everything up. As I was going through my normal routine I started getting that “Christmas feeling.” Anyone who loves Christmas as much as I do will understand! …

Be God’s Servant

You’re going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. But you—keep your eye on what you’re doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God’s servant.

-2 Timothy 4:3-5 (MSG)

Me

So sometimes I do things out of order… This is a perfect example. This post was supposed to be done when I first enrolled in Blogging University. I put it on my to-do list and forgot about it. I am after all, a very busy guy. I will change the settings when I go to publish it and no one will ever know… well except whoever read it.

So I am choosing to blog for several reason. The most important is that I feel led by the Holy Spirit to do this.

I have been spending a lot of time praying and asking God for direction. For some reason, and I’m sure it’s for my own good, He has not given me a road map to my future. I believe that He is growing my faith. All I know is that when I feel led to do something and I do it, everything works out.

Looking at the condition of our world today it’s time to try to make a difference. Will I? Well, that’s up to God.

I believe the world has been deceiving people into chasing after a way of life and a form of “success” that isn’t real. I have broken free from that and I want to show you how.

The life I am now creating is based on Romans 12:1-2 which says: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

I am no longer conforming… I am living. I believe my life is an ongoing, active experiment to show others a better way to live based on trusting God and living a self sufficient, self sustaining lifestyle.

In, these last days before Jesus returns, I would like to do my best to live in a way that honors Him.

I hope that makes sense… It does to me.

God Bless,

Michael at R2W
