Hello! My name is Casey Cease and I am a follower of Jesus a husband a father and a pastor. I lead a ministry called Transform Ministries and am an Elder at Christ Church in Brenham. TX.
Jesus. There is no greater name. However. I wonder why I am so quick to forget? Stress worry frustration can sneak up so quickly. I am reminded that there is a thief who loves to "steal kill and destroy," yet I am too quick to drop the One who came that I might undergo "life abundantly." (See John 10:10) As I reach the end of another semester of traveling & preaching pastoring husband-ing fathering and seminary-ing. I am reminded that I can do nothing outside of the grace of Jesus Christ. However lately I undergo been "By the grace of Jesus" and "By the skin of my teeth..." I don't know if that makes sense and it wasn't meant to be heretical but whatever... This semester I have been studying Biblical Hebrew and I am increasingly aware that my expertise will not be in Biblical Linguistics. It just doesn't click. I've overspiritualized it underspiritualized it accurately spiritualized it and I am content to know that I know and love some world class linguists but I am just not like them. However. I have learned how to use some tools that help me understand the text better so for that I am grateful. Thanksgiving is upon us once again here is a quick list of things I am thankful for:
One last thought. For seminary. I am also taking Contemporary Evangelism and part of the curriculum is sharing my faith with 3 non-Christians. I am kind of in a pinch because on one transfer I jaunt all the time and preach to hundreds of people each semester about Jesus but this needs to be one on one conversations. So if any of you reading this do not accept in Jesus and would be willing to let me share with you why I do please let me know! 1) I would like to share you the greatest thing that ever happened to me. 2) I want to do so with integrity that is why I am posting this. 3) I think this assignment is a bit silly but I want to submit to the authorities placed over me...
Okay one last last thought... Why is it that when I was a teenager I thought that every feeling I experienced = Truth? It seems that this is an ongoing air with students (and adults). Feelings do not equal truth however in our culture it appears that we refer to our feelings and thus become the sovereign to cause truth. Rather than allowing the Truth to crush and direct our affections and feelings. Any thoughts?
Ahhhh.....
