Come Away With Me, by Mike Palmer 5/24/08
Laying in bed one morning and God says, “come away with me, I would like to show you something.”
“Do I have to get out of bed, cause I’m not ready to get up?”
“No just come.”
He has a piece of wood in [...]

How do you know if you’re a Christian?
People would argue about a definition, but let me just ask this; what is your relationship with Christ?
Is he lord, Saviour and friend? Is your relationship with him based on what you know from church? Or is it based on what the bible says?
Bottom line is- when [...]

Do we prefer ignorence?
If someone was lying to you about something wouldn’t you like to know? I know I would.
Would we recognize the truth if we saw it?
Do we have evidence?
Who do we believe?
-the media?
-the government?
-pastor
-teacher?
-parents?
-friends
-the ACLU?
Who told us about the separation of church and state? Were they reliable? Where did they [...]

Thank you God that you do not require me to figure out your elaborate plan, nor do you even require to figure out what my part is in the plan.

What is going on?
Have you been convinced that the man must die?
Why can’t he be dangerous?

We would climb any mountain [...]

Thoughts on Lifecycles
By Mike Palmer 2007
It seems we often fail to understand the season thing that Jesus talked about.

Sometimes we get so programmed that we don’t see it.
I attended a leadership training once and the topic that was covered was the growth cycle [...]

Let me praise you with all that is in me,
Let me praise you even in my broken state,

Do you ever have doubts about this. I confess that I don’t get it.
Why Do You Love Me?
By Mike Palmer 2007
My words.
It’s depressing to think these thoughts, but God
I don’t know why you love me,
I don’t know why you care,
I’m not even sure how you can.
Only you know how I’ve hurt you.
Only you [...]

A friend of mine used this phrase and I’ve thought about it. He was referring to how we bring our old stuff that we think the church should use because it’s good enough and also referring to what he called sacred cows.
But I have come to my own conclusion that we offer God [...]

Desparate?
Mike Palmer- January 27, 2003
When I realize just how desperate I am, I have to laugh. I don’t know where I ever get the idea that I am so much. I realize that truely I am nothing. I am like a blade of grass that withers in the wind, or [...]
