Acts 17:26-28

And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for "'In him we live and move and have our being...Acts 17:26-28

Praying for an Open Door

What is an open door? How do we know to walk through it? How do we discern what is God's will and our own? many of these questions plague our minds daily. Am I participating or just getting in the way?

For now I'm praying and hoping that God will keep this open door open that I have found, and that I may walk through it for the right reasons instead of my own selfish desires. There is a business I feel that if given the right circumstances could be changed and reused to engage a city with the word of Truth, through the evangelistic efforts of my friend Kevin and I. At the same time we could be helping a addict recover and get his life back on track. Most business things I'm always confident about, this one I feel a bit nervous and almost ready to back out given the circumstances and predicaments that we may face. In the long run I see a positive future for both the business and the addict. At the same time I see how this could all go very bad. I pray that God will move in this if its His will, and that He would close this completely if it is not His plan for me. Soon we will see, so that all many hopefully hear...


Update.... 3 years later this became and wonderful God centered business, Bullseye Bike Shop still runs today 100% debt free and reaches many with the gospel as a platform in Denton, TX. I currently sold my half of the business to go church plant in asia. Amazing what happens when we walk through open doors fully open handed, and waiting to see Gods glory in them.
