The ONE THING

The random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)

The ONE THING for today

Consistently average

Posted on October 31, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Diligence – responsibly, orderly and steadily applying God’s power within me toward whatever responsibility is mine. (Definition came from Mark Rutland’s book, Character Matters) It is better to be consistently average than inconsistently great. You can see this played out on Wall Street every year.  Check the yearend reports of all the mutual funds.  Every … Continue reading →

Being Mindful

Matthew 16:23 (NKJV) But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” Have you ever had one of those days that you were so busy you barely thought of your family? It … Continue reading →

You are so predictable…I hope

Posted on October 29, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Genesis 21:1 (NKJV) And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. There are appropriate times that you need to “mix it up”, surprise people, take the scenic route, think outside the box; but most often people need you to be predictable. You owe it … Continue reading →

Posted on October 28, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

John 8:53 (NKJV) Are You greater than our father Abraham…Who do You make Yourself out to be? Is Jesus greater than _______? (You fill in the blank.) Yes, yes He is.

How will they respond?

Posted on October 27, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Ephesians 6:6 (NKJV) …not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, The way other people respond must never be the compass by which you guide your life. For example, if our dentists use the way we respond to their treatment as their guideline, most of … Continue reading →

“What would Jesus do?” is not the best question

Posted on October 26, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Micah 6:8 (NKJV) He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God? Making the question, “What would Jesus do?” your template for decision-making is setting yourself up for a lot of trouble. It … Continue reading →

Luke 20:46 (NKJV) Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts… You don’t hear it much now a days, but there was a time that certain preachers were describes as “clothes-line preachers”. This expression … Continue reading →

Big People and Little People

Posted on October 23, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

2 Kings 9:11 (NKJV) “As for Mephibosheth,” said the king, “he shall eat at my table like one of the king’s sons.” Big people have had at least one big failure (usually many). They are humble, they are patient, they are merciful toward others—especially people who are struggling and who have failed.  They understand because … Continue reading →

Beware of grace!

Posted on October 22, 2015 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Beware of grace, it is highly addictive. Grace is wonderful when you need it but make it your goal to not need so much grace today. Now let me be clear, we have all sinned and we all fall (present tense) short of the glory God (Romans 3:23) so we all need God’s constant grace … Continue reading →
