Our crape myrtles and azaleas are so beautiful when they bloom. When they are in full bloom, they are beautifully arrayed in red, maroon, and white blossoms. When you pass by the house, you can't help but notice their beauty. Most of the time, they simply look like green bushes or normal trees, but in the spring and summer they stand out in all their glory.
Sometimes we, as Christians, can look like just another green bush, not so different from the other bushes around. But we are most beautiful when we are in full bloom for the Lord. When the world sees us bearing the fruit of the Spirit and being our best for the Lord, we attract people to Jesus. A plant's blooming is part of its reproductive process. We need to be in full bloom so we can also bring new people into the Kingdom of God. The great thing is, we can bloom year-round, so don’t be just another green bush; get your bloom on and let the world see the glory of God.
Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
1 Corinthians 9:24-25 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Perhaps Sunday should be changed to Sonday. That way, many Christians might stop using the day to spend time in the sun by going to the beach, hunting, playing sports, mowing the lawn, or doing other activities, and instead come to church to worship the Son. If you worship the Son, you might still find there is some sun left to enjoy other things as well.
It has always interested me that people profess to be Christians but have no time for church. Before you say, “You don’t have to go to church to be a Christian,” the Bible gives the qualifications for church leaders, explains how to conduct church services, describes church discipline, and then tells us not to forsake the gathering of ourselves together. God gave His Son to die on a cruel cross for us because He loves us. Can we not find an hour or two a week to worship God with our fellow believers? Bottom line, church is important, and if you want to find an excuse for not being in church, Satan will always be glad to supply one.
Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Psalm 150:1-6 Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! …
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

At the café one morning, the topic of “What would you do for a million dollars?” came up. There was a list online of some pretty gross things, like licking a toilet, letting a snail walk across your tongue, or sleeping in a bed full of bedbugs. People might be willing to do some really bizarre things for money.
My question today is what you are willing to endure for Christ. Are you willing to endure persecution? Are you willing to lose your job, your children, or even face prison for the sake of Christ? Some of the faithful have paid unexpected prices for their beliefs lately: the teacher in New Jersey suspended for giving a student a Bible; the football coach in Washington placed on leave for saying a prayer on the field at the end of a game; the fire chief in Atlanta fired for self-publishing a book defending Christian moral teaching; the Marine court-martialed for pasting a Bible verse above her desk; and other examples of the new intolerance. Anti-Christian activists hurl smears like “bigot” and “hater” at Americans who hold traditional beliefs about marriage and accuse anti-abortion Christians of waging a supposed “war on women.” It is said that Christianity in the US is shrinking, and in reality, part of that is caused by the number of professing Christians who fold under the secular pressures of today to deny or be silent about their biblical views. What you may be willing to do for money is one thing, but what are we willing to endure to stand up for Jesus and our biblical beliefs?
2 Timothy 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
John 15:18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.”
Matthew 5:10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

Good Sunday Morning and welcome to “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts” and his special guest Steve Ladd.

Now with his solo career, Steve has continued ministering to audiences with inspirational songs like “Come Sunday Morning,” “One More River,” and “Preach the Word.” These harmonious melodies have transformed into personal anthems of encouragement that Steve carries wherever he goes, as he testifies to lives touched, healed, and uplifted.

This Sunday on “Getting To Know You with Host Paul Pitts” will be special guest Comedian Tim Lovelace. We will discuss his new book Green Rain: which is Inspiring Short Stories from the Unique Perspective of a Humorist, the debut title from GRAMMY®-nominated recording artist and bestselling comedian Tim Lovelace, bows July 14 from Pathway Press. A collection of 50 anecdotes brimming with wit and wisdom, the book features a foreword from author and speaker Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.
Inspired by Lovelace’s popular Moments that Motivate podcast and nationally syndicated radio series, Green Rain piques instant curiosity with such chapter titles as “Lightsaber Duel of the Century,” “The Tale of the Traveling Tomato,” and “How to Train a Squirrel.” Delivering equal measures of lighthearted amusement and earnest encouragement, Lovelace’s ultimate goal is to bring joy, hope, and perspective— one story at a time.
“The truth is, I’m not here to teach you how to live,” he explains. “Life is already doing that; daily, relentlessly, without asking permission. This book is a collection of life moments. My hope is that you are inspired to embrace the hidden treasures and opportunities that await us every day; moments to encourage others, love deeply, and live fully.”
“I’ve had the privilege of listening to Tim Lovelace perform his comedy act, and the laughter comes straight from my gut,” writes Beiler in the book’s foreword. “Only God knows laughter is as important as good medicine is for the healing of our bodies. The stories in this book will uplift your spirit and provide medicine for your soul. …It feels like a collection of practical ‘how-to’s’ for the ‘ought-to’s’ in our daily lives.”
Green Rain arrives on the heels of Lovelace’s acclaimed January StowTown Records set, On a Different Note. Showcasing his signature piano stylings across a thoughtfully curated selection of American classics and beloved sacred favorites, the instrumental project includes Lovelace’s renditions of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” and “This is My Father’s World,” among others, as well as the standout “Celebration of America Medley,” a tapestry of such patriotic stalwarts as “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Shenandoah,” “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” “America The Beautiful,” and “God Bless America.”
We will also discus his family and not let him Leave till he tells up a comedically story. Tune in Sunday morning to hear all of this from Tim!!!
