As a Hitchcock fan, I was delighted to learn that our local Simpsonville theater, Great Escape, will be showing The Birds (one of my favorites!) TODAY only on the big screen at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Is that hot buttered popcorn and Cherry Coke I smell? Okay, so I’ll only enjoy one handful of corn and a few sips of soda, but Tippi Hedren, Rod Taylor, and hovering black birds will keep me distracted.
Come out and join us if you like!
In a rushed, distracted, and worried world how do we pursue God above all else? How do we make intimacy with God our top priority?
Kyle Estepp not only taught from Luke 10:38-42 Sunday morning at Summit, he brought it. I encourage you to listen online this week, but for today’s purpose I sense this is all the Lord would have me share:
Martha was fuming about dinner; Mary was feasting on every word that came from the mouth of God.
Martha was troubled by many things; Mary chose the one thing.
Martha was distracted; Mary was focused.
Martha responded to Jesus in the light of circumstances; Mary responded to the circumstances in the light of Jesus.
Martha told Jesus what to do; Mary listened for what Jesus wanted her to do.
Martha left Jesus to go to work; Mary left the work to go to Jesus.
Martha initiated for Jesus; Mary responded to Jesus.
Martha spoke to Jesus; Mary heard from Jesus.
Martha was dutiful; Mary was devoted.
If our friends and family were to say what is most important to us—what we value most—based on our choices, how would they answer?
**As with all the Snippets, I try to jot down everything verbatim, but it’s not always possible.To listen to the sermon in its
entirety, I invite you to visit Summit’s site.
In this recent post I hinted at an idea the Lord gave me while preparing for the introduction to our study Abiding in Christ, by Andrew Murray and Bo Stevens.
The idea bubbled to the surface as I imagined the disciples walking past a nearby vineyard following their last supper with Christ. The bread and the wine still lingering on their lips would become even more meaningful as Jesus taught on the Vine and the branches—a union that complements the Lord’s Supper beautifully.
As I closed out our introduction night, the juice and crackers were passed. We had a time of self-examination while David Teems (More Hope CD) played in the background. Afterwards, an amazing group of women from various backgrounds, denominations and churches came together as one to celebrate the One who makes an abiding relationship with a holy God possible.
To God be the glory!
Will you join me today in praying for the families of those who were killed on September 11, 2001, as well as the thousands of military families who’ve lost loved ones as a result of this attack?
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Jason Malone brought this message on Sunday. I believe it to be one of the best he’s ever preached—and that’s saying something!

mentioned in the past, I try to jot everything down verbatim, but it’s not

Revelation 3: 20
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
4 Ways to Pursue Him
(I encourage you to set aside 30 minutes this week to take a listen. My notes doesn’t do his sermon justice. Powerful and packed with tweetable truths.)
Four years ago, we purchased a burgundy phone that matched the size and thickness of a deck of cards.
Last year, for my birthday, I chose an ipad2 over a smart phone.
This week, however, I made the smart decision to roll into the 21st century with Siri by my side. To think! I can spout out commands and the only response I hear is, “I can do that for you, Cathy.” If only Siri did housework.
If you have a favorite iPhone app, I’d love to hear about it!
