I Still Believe in Love

My love for humanity has: Hurt me Blinded me Left me Changed me Defeated me Bludgeoned me Moved me Cut me Filled me Built me up Torn me down Deserted me Left me hanging And challenged me at every turn. God’s love for me has: Lifted me Held me Saved me Warmed me Spilled over […]

Giving or Re-appropriation

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38 I sometimes feel that we have lost our understanding of giving; that the term giving has taken […]

God places opportunities in our path to enrich our souls.

In this study we examine four of these opportunities that will encourage a greater communion […]

Snooze

The alarm disturbs Our treasured sleep And we hit snooze Until it’s too late To participate. How frustrating it must be For Him to witness Our apathy. He worked for Three hard, long years To teach us how to live. He fed the hungry, Encouraged the meek, Healed the sick, Lifted the broken, Ate with […]

A Path Made Clear

Walking on a well-worn path With confidence I stride O’er the top of a pleasant hill The sky stretched far and wide Into a sun-drenched valley Filled with goldenrod and birches Where finches fly and sparrows cry And I find the path diverges To the East the path is clean and clear Overgrown, a path […]

A Voice

I am not a voice for politics I am a voice for Jesus Democrat or Republican I am your brother. We stand a nation divided Not because of our beliefs Not because of our wealth Not because of our color We stand a nation divided Because we refuse to break bread together Because we refuse […]

Feed My Sheep

I said I was tired I said I was scarred I said I was empty I said it was hard And Jesus said, “Feed my Sheep.” I said I was sick In shame hid my face I said I was worthless Used up and disgraced And Jesus said, “Feed my Sheep.” I said […]

When Mandy was only 5 years old, her dad started giving her a gold dollar on each of her birthdays. She would get other presents, dolls, skates, a bicycle, but the present that she always looked forward to the most was that moment when her dad would pull her aside, reach into his pocket, and […]

I Have Seen the Face of Heroes

I have seen the face of heroes I have heard their silent screams I cry for all their emptiness That manifests in dreams. Amidst the pain and sorrow, Grief, and major loss They overcome their own despair By the power of the cross.. And heal the souls around them Touch their fevered brows […]

Having a background in theatre, I learned long ago how important it is for the cast and crew of a production to draw energy from an audience. It really is a symbiotic relationship. The cast and crew give energy to the audience and the audience gives energy back to the cast and crew. They feed […]

There are times when we face what seem to be contradictions in the scripture and in our lives. There is truth in the fact that God gave us a mind of inquisitiveness. He wants us to ask questions. He wants us to seek answers. He wants us to find ways to come closer to Him […]

Of Ships and Souls

I have driftedAmidst languid groansOf wooden shipsWith rhythmic tones,Creaking timberedBeams and bonesWhispered notesAnd anecdotesCadence set by ocean swellsAnd harmonies of distant bells. The melody ofWood on woodShould never beMisunderstoodThe moaningClothed in solitudeBurnished coalsOf ships and soulsMy table strewn with wine and bread,The wind my song, the stars my bed. There’s comfort foundWhen pulled awayFrom restive thoughts,And restless […]

Worship with Abandon

2/20/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn 2 Samuel 6:14 “David was dancing before the Lord with all his might,” (NIV) Control. We all want it.

Worship with the Heart of a Child

2/13/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn Jeremiah 1:6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.” (NIV) God bless the innocence of children. How often in our lives do we look back to back to a time when we were young, innocent of our wrongs, naïve in our approach […]

Worship with Praise

2/6/2020 Rev. Walt Wellborn Psalms 95:6 “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;” (NIV) I want to challenge your perception of worship. Worship is a state of mind. Ever since humans began walking the earth, people have knelt in humility, either to their leaders or their Gods. […]
