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

Growing through “this”

Posted on October 31, 2016 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

You’ve gotta to grow through this—whatever “this” is right now.  Longing for the days when things were good and you were comfortable will not change a thing about right now.    God is never (and I mean never) about you settling down and riding out the rest of your life in a comfortable routine of the … Continue reading →

Saturday Briefing to Ministers and those they minister to

Was Dr. Tim Hill at his best at the SCCOG Minister’s Meeting?

Posted on October 29, 2016 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Many of you were in the Monday night service of the State Minister’s meeting.  I was there and had a front row seat and was able to observe Dr. Hill up close…my heart went out for him.  There he was, one of the greatest preachers the Church of God has ever produced and what is … Continue reading →

How to battle sluggishness

Posted on October 27, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

…that you do not become sluggish… (Hebrews 6:12, NKJV) Remember the days of the “full-service” gas station?  No?    No bother, they no longer exist and I guessing there is little danger of them coming back.  The “self-service” station is pretty much engrained into our present reality.  The same is true for refueling our body, soul, … Continue reading →

Be-cause / I-cause

Posted on October 26, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Excuse-driven people love the word “because.”  Their excuses usually begin with it:  “Because of what others do or do not do…”  “Because of what they have or do not have…”  “Because this happened or did not happen…”  On the other hand, success oriented people love the word “I.”  Their focus on the word “I” is … Continue reading →

Be Proud & Pray

Posted on October 22, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Hello my dear brothers and sisters, It’s been awhile since I last wrote you. As many of you know, one of the reasons is because I have been Texas visiting my son and his family (which includes three of my five perfect grandchildren) at the Army base in Fort Hood.  Lee is an Army chaplain … Continue reading →

A personal invitation

Posted on October 15, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

John 11:29 (NKJV) As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. To her eternal credit, when Mary heard that Jesus had offered a personal invitation, she immediately responded. I remember as a boy the moment that Christ’s invitation became personal for me.  Like Mary (John 11:20), there had been many … Continue reading →

What makes something ordinary – Reflections on a son’s deployment to Afghanistan

Posted on October 14, 2016 by pastorkemp • 18 Comments

Tonight is Wednesday, October 12, 2016 and I am sitting in my son’s home on an army base in Fort Hood, TX. Lee’s three kiddies are down for the night and the other adults are somewhere with their own thoughts and it’s just me sitting here at Lee and Jennifer’s table reflecting on the fact … Continue reading →

What you eat today…

Albert Einstein was reputed to have declared that “compound interest” is the most powerful force in the universe and the eighth wonder of the world. I’m not sure about that, but the principle of compounding does lead me to the one thing I’d like for you to reflect on today and that is: What your … Continue reading →

Don’t be square! Be there!

Posted on October 12, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

John 11:28 (NKJV) And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” Wow!  What a statement.  What a privilege to have the Son of God himself to make … Continue reading →

Informed Passion

Posted on October 11, 2016 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

John 11:27 (NKJV) She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” I must say, I’m impressed with Martha.  We are quick to give kudos to Mary who seemed to always be the one sitting at the feet of Jesus … Continue reading →
