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

Count the Stars…

Posted on November 16, 2020 by pastorkemp • 7 Comments

Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” _God to Abraham, (Genesis 15:15) Arguably, we are living in one of the most challenging and troublesome times of our lives. But we have a choice… We … Continue reading →

Shhh…

Posted on November 9, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” _God, (Psalm 46:10) Sometimes the best thing we can do is be still and show that we are not God. Sometimes the best thing to do is leave all the stuff that is above our … Continue reading →

Being there

Posted on August 24, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Funny thing about home… First, home starts out as a place where you live, then it becomes a place you visit, and then along comes a pandemic that, like an iron curtain, sequesters and separates us and puts our lives on hold, and suddenly, for many, home is a place that is simply there.  Doing … Continue reading →

Almost 100% Sure

Posted on August 12, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

I remember meeting with a couple who felt their marriage was over.  I listened, I advised, and I listened and advised some more.  All to no avail. Finally, our counseling session wound down to hopeless silence.  After a pause, I looked at them and said, “So, what you’re saying is that you’re both 100% convinced … Continue reading →

Is forgiveness an option?

Posted on July 20, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

If forgiveness is an option, you’ve got a fighting chance.  If you’re not willing to forgive, all you will do is keep on fighting.  I’m not saying that forgiveness is easy and I’m not saying forgiveness will solve the problem (some people will not accept forgiveness), and I certainly am not saying that forgiveness is … Continue reading →

That Ship’s Left the Harbor

Posted on May 28, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Everything that has ever been done was done by the person who could and would do it at the time. Get over it. If they beat you to the punch… If they arrived at the party before you did… If they got the credit… If they got the rewards… Done’s done, that ship’s left the … Continue reading →

What does your future look like?

Posted on May 20, 2020 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

There is a world of difference between the two questions: “What do I hope tomorrow looks like?” And… “What do I wish yesterday looked like?” Today is not the day to try to relive the past. Today is not the day to try to recoup lost things from the past. Today is not the day … Continue reading →

A 500 year old altar

Posted on May 3, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

At least for me, 1 & 2 Chronicles are not always the most inspiration books in the Bible.  But earlier this week, I notice a little phrase in the first chapter of 2 Chronicles: 5 Moreover, the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle … Continue reading →

The Hope Whisperer

Posted on April 24, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

We’ve looked at hope for the last three days. Remember, on Tuesday I wrote: Everyday, you are living somewhere between hope and despair and it will be hope that gets you through. Before we move on to something else, let me remind you that this not only describes you, but everyone around you. The ONE … Continue reading →

Life is uncertain and has many strange twists and turns. But sure to hedge your bets for a happy and fulfilling life by growing your hope list. If you have a 100 things on your hope list and 99 of them fail to come to pass, but number 100 does…you still win! The ONE THING … Continue reading →
