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

A bad case of acid reflux

Posted on March 29, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

I don’t know the science of it all, but I’m told that every little baby is technically a female in its mother’s womb up until a certain point when, for some, their brain is washed in a certain chemical/hormone that turns on the “switch” for causing the baby to develop into a boy. In the … Continue reading →

The “I” in Win

Posted on March 27, 2018 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

I love the story of Eleazar, one of King David’s mighty men. What set him apart was taking a stand. He didn’t conquer the world but he did defend one plot of land—a little piece of farmland full of barley. He understood that if the nation was to survive, the harvest had to be protected … Continue reading →

It’s Time to Break the Speed Limit!

Posted on March 19, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

No matter how fast the speed limit is, if you are only going the speed limit you are being left behind. If you hope to impact your culture and truly make a difference you’re going have to be willing to fail–and fail big! Being afraid to fail means you only attempt safe changes with extremely … Continue reading →

A cat named Lucy

Posted on March 16, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

A year ago today Sonja and I had a little private burial for our cat. Her name was Lucy and she was over 20 years old. I know there are some people who go way overboard with their animals—I’m not in that camp and I have no illusion that animals are on the same level … Continue reading →

A hollow victory

Posted on March 15, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

To succeed at unimportant things is a hollow success. Resist the illusion that you are making progress by achieving unimportant goals. Stay focused with laser-sharp tenacity on that which is truly important and if there’s any time left after you’ve taken care of the important, then perhaps you can give the unimportant a little of … Continue reading →

Greetings Pastor! I congratulate you on your first Sunday! From all accounts it appears that you got off to a good start and for that I am very thankful, for your preaching/teaching responsibilities is one of the most important things you will do as a pastor.

Advice to a New Pastor

Posted on March 6, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Having appointed and installed my first pastor as an Administrative Bishop in the Church of God, I thought I’d add a new segment to my blog: “Advice to a New Pastor.” I do this in hopes of helping the precious young man that I was privileged to appoint as pastor this weekend and maybe even … Continue reading →

Saturday Briefing to Ministers and those they minister to

Cooking & Pastoring with Love

Posted on March 3, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

My fellow Shepherds, our schedule is to guide us not trap us. We must always be willing to lay our schedules and to-do lists down and stop a while to just “sit by the well” or stop on the road from Jericho to minister to someone Jesus has put into our lives that we were … Continue reading →

Why are you playing it safe?

Posted on March 2, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

  Why are you playing it safe? Your “respectable” fears (call it prudence, being careful, or whatever) is growing you a harvest of regrets. Be fearful if you must, but, like dipping your ice cream cone in warm chocolate, let your fears solidify your courage so that you go on the offence. Time is slipping … Continue reading →

Why are you living for the weekend?

Posted on March 1, 2018 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Originally posted on The ONE THING:
Saturday Salutations! I hope you are reading this a little later than usual which leads me to the one think I’d like for you to think about today: Intentionally do something that delights you every day. It is so easy to develop a “living-for-the-weekend” mindset.  The tragedy of this…
