Diamond in the Rough

It’s always a joy to find something of value in an unexpected place — a diamond in the rough. Over the last few years, my family has discovered that one of our favorite things to do together, is to go to yard and estate sales. We look for paintings my wife loves, furniture from the 1800’s, rare musical instruments, and any kind of electronic device that uses tubes. Most of the time we clean the items up and re-sell them. Sometimes, (not very often), we find something we want to hold onto — something worthy of taking to the Antiques Road Show (true story).

Family of God

I am so thankful for our Rock Church family. God has been moving in extraordinary ways and it is an absolute privilege to labor with people who have such a deep love for the Gospel.

It reminds me of these verses: “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.” — Philippians 1:3-5

S.O.A.P. Devotional

Lately, I have had a real boost in my quiet times and it’s because I have been using SOAP! No, not the soap you use to wash with. Rather, a devotional plan. Let me explain.

S. – Scripture
O. – Observation
A. – Application
P. – Prayer

I am not sure who thought up this acronym originally, but I am certain I have heard Bill Young use it before (thanks, Bill).

Here are a few examples out of my journal — showing you how this has worked in my quiet times this past week.

Faithcamp is Coming!

What is Faithcamp?

Faithcamp is a combination of Faithwalkers and our summer Discipleship Training Camp (formally DTC). There will be meaningful worship, powerful teachings (related to our identity in Christ), and organized activities for everyone! Faithcamp is designed for your entire family. We get the whole camp to ourselves, which will create a great environment for hanging out, making new friends, and enjoying old ones. We will be joined by several other churches in our Mountains West Region.

Lifting Our Eyes

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” — Psalm 121:1-2

We are blessed to live in the great state of Utah. We have such incredible, natural beauty all around us. And have you noticed our mountains lately? They are unbelievable — the snow, clouds, sunrises, and sunsets! Living in a city with such amazing creation (all around us) is a privilege. But, it’s easy for us to get used to the mountains that we see daily. Recently, a friend from out of town asked me just that, “Do you get used to the view?” I said, “Sadly, yes, I do.” It is human nature to take things for granted.
