PRAYER WORKSthoughts from Carey Nieuwhof Should we really stop saying that prayer works? Well, yes and no. Most people who say prayer works these days really mean God did what I wanted him to do. As if prayer was a button to be pushed to release exactly what they wanted from the vending machine. Prayer is not a button to be pushed; it's a relationship to be pursued. P...

This past Sunday we took another look at how to pray (view it here). We viewed part of the video above as we continued to explore what we should say when we pray. The whole idea was that prayer wasn't about being religious or even about saying the right words. It's about building a tight connection with God....a lifeline. We looked at the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 as...

A couple summer's ago, we went with Jen's family to Virginia Beach for a few days. They had trained life guards on their tall white lifeguard stations every 100 yards or so. The beach was packed and the waves were strong. We were all hanging out on the beach when we heard the whistles blow. We watched the lifeguards jump off their station perch and go running toward th...

I will never forget the first time I was in a full length movie. It was the late 1980's and I was a teenager. I was walking in Chicago when we came up on a movie set. It was starring Burt Reynolds and Liza Minelli I think it went straight to video tape (remember, it was the 80's)! Our part in the film was to cross the street as a car came zooming around the corner and u...

In the Flip or Flop series, we talked planting the small seeds that can grow into something big. It's about making daily decisions in the right direction this year. If we are going to do that, we can't do it alone. We aren't made to do life alone. If we go it alone, it's easy to quit or just keep doing things the same way. We need to remember God is for us and we need to h...

In the last weeks of this series, I shared some thoughts about flipping our finances (watch it here) and how it takes waiting and sacrifice. A small loss now can lead to big gains later. The challenge was not to just make a resolution like a wish upon a star, but to come up with an actual step you can take to start moving in the right direction. Like we said earlier in the...
