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

Trapped in the moment

Posted on March 30, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

“Time is God-given.   Life is simply a span of time that God has given to each of us—-a segment of moments carved out of eternity in which we are to live on this earth and fulfill the plan and purpose God has for our lives.” _Charles Stanley, Success God’s Way Being time conscience is a … Continue reading →

The reality is…

“I constantly want to be introduced to reality.” _Doug Murren, Leader Shift It is your responsibility to stay in touch with reality. People run off the rails every day with their lives simply because they lose touch with reality. Reality is not how you wish things were.  Reality is not even how things should be. … Continue reading →

“Those” people

Posted on March 28, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Ever heard this before? “The children now love luxury; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in the place of exercise. Children are tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross … Continue reading →

Put yourself in the story.

Posted on March 21, 2016 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

As you start another week put yourself in the story. You may not be the main character and you may not be writing the story, but at least put yourself in the story. God didn’t put you on this planet to be a “sport’s fan” sitting in the stands watching other people live an exciting … Continue reading →

Defeat is one thing

Posted on March 19, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

I believe it was Winston Churchill who said: “Defeat is one thing; disgrace is another.” So true. There will always be someone leaner, meaner, and faster than you. Defeat is inevitable. But what is not inevitable is you making a fool out of yourself. Be wise today. Defeat is always temporary and winning is always … Continue reading →

Little old ladies

Posted on March 18, 2016 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around.  If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, “I hope I haven’t made you feel ill at ease; it’s just that you look so … Continue reading →

What time is it?

Posted on March 16, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: Remember, your calendar is a clock also and just as important as the watch that is on your arm. The watch on your arm tells you the hour of the day; your calendar reminds you of the season of … Continue reading →

One of the greatest lesson in life I have learned…thus far: People Matter

Posted on March 15, 2016 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

I’ll never forget the day Sonja and I drove up to the Saluda Church of God for the first time. We were the new pastor and this was our first assignment as a pastor. As to be expected, there were challenges and lessons to be learned but I will always remember with great warmth and gratitude … Continue reading →

The Greatest Lessons I Have Learned in Life—so far: How to be a happy sinner.

Posted on March 14, 2016 by pastorkemp • 3 Comments

Perhaps the greatest lesson I ever learned in life was: “Don’t drink the “living water” if you ever hope to be a happy sinner. I remember vividly the night I was saved.   We called it, “giving your heart to Jesus” back in those days. I didn’t understand it back then, but “giving your heart to … Continue reading →

On “doing your best”

Posted on March 14, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

There is a world of difference between saying, “I will do my best” and saying, “I will do it.” The difference is taking responsibility. Doing your best lets you off the hook, committing to “do it” doesn’t. Doing your best allows you to work alone. Doing your best allows you to keep God at arms … Continue reading →
