Worship Perspective

By Dwayne Hicks | March 15, 2014 |

This word speaks to a point of view toward a person, situation or thing. I sometimes have to really check my perspective regarding a certain subject or even a particular person. I believe that worship should have a proper perspective. Let me make it clear that Creator God should be the focus of my worship.…

The WOW Factor

By Dwayne Hicks | March 14, 2014 |

I love being “wowed” for the most part. There are some surprises that are a bit annoying. I love it when a person who is serving me or my family “over delivers”. I am impressed when someone goes above and beyond their job description or “call of duty” to serve with extraordinary skill and care.…

Judgement Day

By Dwayne Hicks | March 13, 2014 |

I can hardly put my head around what this is going to be like. I remember as a kid being so fearful of judgment day. I think I’m unsure of how it will unfold. I picture it much like John writes about in revelation, but then it’s hard to take the most symbolic book of…

Wedding Invitation

By Dwayne Hicks | March 12, 2014 |

Weddings are pretty fun occasions. Some are more fun than others. Sometimes when there’s been a divorce, you can feel the tension between two sides that used to be one. Some weddings are super solemn and others are light-hearted and quite fun. Some weddings the couple is obviously very much “struck” with each other and…

Temporary

By Dwayne Hicks | March 11, 2014 |

I love Sharpie markers, they have such a cool feel to them and they are permanent for the most part. You can really scrub and the mark will eventually come off of your skin. I see materials that have been around for years and years and I don’t think of them as temporary.  After seeing…

Sneak Peak

By Dwayne Hicks | March 10, 2014 |

The movie trailer has become quite popular, as the use of the Internet has grown. I no longer have to watch a television commercial about a certain movie that is coming out. I can go online and watch the trailer. If I really need to know the storyline of the movie, I can probably “Google…

On Call

By Dwayne Hicks | March 9, 2014 |

There are certain professions where the job includes being on-call overnight or on the weekend. There are doctors that are available for emergencies because they are on call for their particular office. Firefighters and law enforcement are often on-call as well for an emergency where they are needed.  These people go home at night knowing…

Songwriters

By Dwayne Hicks | March 8, 2014 |

I have a special place in my heart for people who write great songs. They have a gift that blesses me. I am able to sing a song they’ve written from their heart to God and I can “own” that song as well and sing it to the Lord. It takes talent and/or giftedness to…

Endurance & Obedience

By Dwayne Hicks | March 7, 2014 |

These two words don’t often go together.  I’m thinking that they actually compliment one another for followers of the Lord.  These two words actually describe Jesus pretty well. He was faithfully obedient and He endured a lot on His way to the cross.  I found some cool verses tucked away in the most symbolic of…

Either Or

By Dwayne Hicks | March 6, 2014 |

I face choices every day of my life. In fact there are many choices to be made throughout each day. Some choices I make early in the day affect the entire outcome of my day. Other choices seem insignificant, but those choices can have consequences for years to come.  I want to be a good…
