We just had a group from LCC complete a mission trip to Chicago. It was a working and serving trip organized by World Changers. There were about 400 students and adults from all over the country who met to be God’s love with skin for the city of Chicago and to serve people who needed [...]

e-note to Life Connection Church in Euless, TX
Dear Friends,
Solomon, the wisest and richest man who ever lived and knew from his own experience wrote:
Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! Ecc 5:10
And the apostle Paul wrote:
…I have learned how to be content with whatever I [...]
Don’t Just Know of God – Experience Him

I have met many less than joyful and even sometimes mean and judgemental Christians over the years. They work religiously to be church people, study and recite their Bibles, and even make statements like “God is telling me”, or “God is telling me that you need to ….”, but they have really not experienced God.

In today’s devotional by Henry Blackaby he comments on Phil 4:8 and reminds us, according to God’s Word, we are we we think.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and [...]

Today in Blackaby’s devotional he writes on one of Lisa and my favorite verses. We have had this passage hand written on a piece of paper on our refrigerator forever. Be anxious for nothing and pray “like crazy” for everything. We don’t always do it well but I am reminded of how important prayer [...]

Meanwhile, I thought I should send Epaphroditus back to you. He is a true brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier. And he was your messenger to help me in my need. Phil 2:25
Some times we don’t feel like being an Epaphroditus. Other times, more often than we think, we need more Epaphroditus’ in our lives.
Are you [...]

Sunday was a great day at LCC. There was a strong sense of God’s presence and our church family was very responsive to the teaching from Phil 4:1-9. The message was “The Secret to not Worrying”.
Paul writes that it is important as Christians that we not be worriers (vs. 6). Why? Because it is a [...]

This coming Sunday is the first day of fall. Please pay no attention to today’s 95 degree temperature. Think cool. I have heard that in other places, in the USA, leaves start to change color this time of year. That’s right, change color. In places like Connecticut and New Hampshire it goes from kind of hot, to [...]

This is my Friday e-note
Dear Friends,
I hope your week went well. In the DFW area we got a little feel of fall weather. It got down to the sixties at night. All I have to say about that is, “Are you ready for some football?” Although the cool mornings did give me some rough flashbacks [...]

We had an awesome time in worship this morning. Jeremy is doing a great job filling in as worship leader while we look for a permanent new worship leader. Jeremy has a great voice and is gifted at leading.
I am still teaching the series EPIC Joy from Philippians. Today we started the fourth and final chapter. I [...]
