VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS

Well, it has been a fun ride here at blogger but it is time to move on to something different. I have been busy trying to establish a new website and I finally have it to where I don't mind going public. I am still working on it so it is not quite where I want it but I will get it there. Starting today all of my bloggins, thoughts and whatever else I decide to write about will be posted at billkinley.com.Yes I wanted to have my own name so no other person by my name could take it and I would be stuck with something that I didn't want. So please add this link to your favorites if you wish and if you blog, feel free to link up with this page if you so desire.

I hope I am better at being more consistent than I have been so please continue reading and feel free to comment.

Peace out.......

I wanted to take this time to let you know what has been going on with us lately. First, I have been in the process of building a new website and I have just not gotten to where I am ready to go public with it. I will eventually be switching my blog site to another host and when I get that up and going, I will post the new address here.

Second, I have started my classes back up and it is kicking my butt. Since coming back from vacation, I have been on the computer doing homework and test. It takes me longer to grasp the concept of probabilty formulas and inductive and deductive reasoning. I guess that's what happens when you hit 40. Man, did I type that out loud???!!

Church is going well and a lot of things have transpired over the last several months. God really knows how to mess a brother up!! One little piece of advice. No matter what vision God gives you to go after, realize that the way to that vision is through Him. NOT YOU. You may have an idea of how you are to accomplish the vision but make room for the possibility that God will send you in a different direction.

More later.


Peace Out......................

I think if you have ever stood before anyone and spoke, you have made a few blunders that you wish you could take back. This dude handled it very well. He is trying to say "pitched his tents." You can imagine what came out.......

July 4th DC

What better place to be be on Independence Day than in our Nations Capitol. Angela and I spent the day taking in the huge party that was taking place at the National Mall and I was able to take this short video of the fireworks finale with the Washingto Monument in the foreground. I also made a 180 degree turn and captured the Capitol building. If the movement makes you sick, have a trash can handy. Nothing worse than sticky and chunky keys...

I will also be posting some more photo's in another post.

Peace Out........

I have just finished reading Erwin McManus' book, The Barbarian Way. If you have not read this book, you need to stop reading and go buy this book and digest every word that is written! He has put into words the way that I have been feeling for the last several years. Christians have become civilized and the Church has become irrelevant.

A barbarian is one that does WHATEVER is necessary to reach and obtain their objective. They don't fight fair nor do they care what others say or do. One of my favorite movies of all times is The Patriot, with Mel Gibson. One of the best scenes of the movie is when the British army is trying to figure out a way to stop the soldiers of the colonial army led by Gibson. The British Lt. Col. makes this statement. "We can't fight them because they are not fighting according to the Articles of War. They are just popping up out of nowhere and are killing our men."

The Church has lost that "popping up" affect. The enemy knows our every move. We have become civilized when it comes to Christ. We are more concerned with our performance than we have our passion to see lives changed for the Kingdom of God. Jesus did not suffer and die so we could build our OWN little haven of comfort and security. It does not take much to see the churches that are building for themselves and not the Kingdom. You don't have to listen hard to hear what is really being said. If the words "my" and "competition" are the most used words you hear......get out. Kingdom building is not a competition between churches or ministries. It is a companionship. If the enemy can reshift our focus off the task of changing people's eternal destination, then it does not matter how many churches are started.

Jesus himself was a barbarian. The people he chose to be around him were barbarians. Even the one that led the way for Christ, John the Baptist, was a barbarian. Are you willing to take a chance and go against the grain of religiosity and against the rules that civilized Christians have established.

I have determined that I have one life and I will be the most barbaric man of God that I can be to change the lives of the people that I meet. No matter who it offends.


Peace out..............

This is great guys. I think it could work.
