perspective and training for the life of the Spirit

I’m excited for RevTrev.com in 2012. I’ll tell you why in a little bit. I’m also excited about what God seems to be doing in other parts of my life. I’ll share those things with you in time. I suppose [...] Read more »
Here’s another question from a reader of my newsletter. I know I’ve recently changed my mind on all of this so I welcome your comments and questions. Iron sharpens iron. Question: Pastor I really need your help because I have a burning question which I need you to answer me. After discovering that tithing is a very serious issue and should not be compromised I decided to check if I have been tithing properly. The question: Should we tithe [...] Read more »
If you’ve gone to revtrev.com this week you would have noticed some more changes. I’ve been working on them for a while and really have been pleased by how they’ve turned out. The slider in the header I’ll change to go to landing pages for main topics I blog about. The tabbed widget on the left gives me a lot more white space even though it doesn’t work so well on any other page but the front one. The main [...] Read more »
I’ve had this continual thought: “You need to be thankful” confronting me at the weirdest times. Knowing I’d be reminding myself as I remind my readers to be thankful, I decided to make it the topic of this week’s newsletter. Then as I listened to the market report I was reminded tomorrow is American Thanksgiving. (We have a shorter growing season in Canada and so celebrate ours the second Monday in October.) HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all my American readers. Have [...] Read more »

What’s it All About? Before we begin to embrace simplicity we need to understand why we’re so driven to be busy. A strong Christian work ethic is admirable but busyness as a sign of spirituality is deplorable. It’s time to deal with the root issue for busyness in our lives. The answer to the question “Why am I so busy?” may surprise you. But it’s an answer that is found clearly in Scripture and knowing how to overcome it brings [...] Read more »
This weekly wrap-up is very brief. All of my wordpress sites have been hit with a malware virus that puts links to pharmaceutical companies on high ranking posts. I won’t go into details, but it looks as if I’ve found someone willing to fix it and tell me how they did it so I can fix all the rest. Karen asked me why things like this seem to happen when we start moving ahead with what we know God’s called [...] Read more »

It would seem like no matter what differences we [...] Read more »

In your community, people are your greatest asset. What we find more and more is that people want to help each other, but their [...] Read more »
Here are the questions you can ask each week in your accountability groups. They are available in the pamphlet “How to Be Accountable for Your Destiny” If Tiger Woods would have had two good guys to hold him accountable for his gifts and destiny, do you think he would have caused his family and fans so much pain? Don’t be quick to judge, you’re able to fall off the same way. Find trustworthy people to be held accountable to. 1. [...] Read more »
I first came across accountability groups with Neil Cole’s “Cultivating a Life for God”. Over the years I’ve been involved with many and have grown with each one. Accountability Groups are safe places to share your struggles with sin. The discussion in the group stays with the group. You’ll encourage and exhort each other. On the rare occasion a leader needs to be included, all the members of the group need to be in agreement. If one member doesn’t agree, [...] Read more »
