I want to thank all of you who are following my blog. Your response has been overwhelming, and I am excited about the opportunity to get to share with all of you through this wonderful avenue of blogging (if I had known it was going to be this much fun, I would have done it a long time ago).

My staff helped me come up with another way to help us say connected. Everyone likes “free stuff”, and everyone loves gifts, so here is what they came up with…

If you will click on the “Follow” button, and give us your email address, each month, you will be entered into a monthly drawing for gifts from our ministry. These gifts will include books, CD’s, DVD’s and a variety of other things to help you in your walk with Jesus. One name will be chosen per month, and the winner will receive an email notifying them that they won. Just respond to the email, and we will ship you your gift… it’s that easy.

Every month, we will announce the name of the previous month’s winner, as well as let you know what the “Grab Bag gift” is for the next month. Each month’s drawing will take place on or about the 10th of the month, so sign up to follow, tell your friends, and watch your email.

“Looking at culture, chronology, and current events through the eyes of faith.”

Senator Alan Simpson had this to say about integrity:

“If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.”

It is said that integrity is who you are when no one is watching.

Integrity is…

… the businessman who chooses to go the extra mile instead of making the extra buck.

… the athlete who plays by the rules, regardless of the outcome.

… the co-worker who gives you the credit you deserve, even if it costs him the promotion.

… the man who chooses to turn off the TV instead of being “turned on” by immoral programming.

Solomon said that it is “the little foxes that spoil the vine”. Temptation comes in many forms, but for most of us, it’s the little sins— the seemingly insignificant ones when no one is watching— that do the most damage to our walk with our Heavenly Father.

As C.S. Lewis once observed, “The safest road to Hell is the gradual one— the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”
