What Is The Word of God?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has...

Prophetic Vision & Today’s Technology
The ceilings of one generation become the floor the next generation stands on. Do you know the purpose of your generation?

What Does It Really Mean To “Love Jesus”?
“I Love You, Lord…”
~Psalm 18.1
It’s a Friday night and five burning Gospel preachers are downtown to communicate and demonstrate the love of God to the lovers of this world. The smell of cigarettes, alcohol and perfumes mixed with the night air combined with the unique scent of cooling...

Holiness and *&!#ing Worship Leaders
Recently one of my ex-professors posted a blog about a church worship leader who at some casual hangout event dropped the f-bomb. If this wasn’t shocking enough, there was alcohol involved in the incident. My ex-professor presented a tactful call for holiness, particularly in leadership. Following...
Recently one of my ex-professors posted a blog about a church worship leader who at some casual hangout event dropped the f-bomb. If this wasn’t shocking enough, there was alcohol involved in the incident. My ex-professor presented a tactful call for holiness, particularly in leadership. Following the post were literally hundreds of comments calling for the worship...
Sadly, when most Christians hear the phrase “religious” they immediately think of it in a negative way. One of the local churches around my town actually advertises itself as “nonreligious.” I myself would almost take offense when people would say I was religious because of my faith in Christ. I would quickly jump to the defense and explain why it is not about religion...

This post is not necessarily a follow up to my previous ones in this series on Occupying The Church, but more of a continuation of thoughts I’ve begun there. Someone had posted the picture on my Facebook wall (or now, timeline) of an individual dressed like Jesus at one of the Occupy protests with the sign saying he threw the moneylenders out for a reason. I...

“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12
I had been thinking of some of the thoughts in today’s post when I wrote my last one over at my blog, about if it’s possible to be effective at making disciples online. Effective relationship...
Now there was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah…He had two wives: the name of one was Hannah and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
3 Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh…When the day came...
There’s something interesting about Occupy Wall Street to me, as I look at the parallels in the church world. I’ve heard for many years about “revolution” coming but I’ve not seen it. In some circles it has fast become an overused word, which I’m hesitant to use. I’m finding more and more people tired of institutionalized religion. The same...
Sitting in a froyo shop while my wife is blogging, and the thought came to me, “I haven’t blogged in some time.” What you are now reading is the simple fact that I decided to join her in the quest. It’s not that I haven’t had something to say, I have just been focusing my efforts on other endeavors, such as finishing my book, and preparing for...
In the evening quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning dew lay around the camp. And when the dew had gone up, there was on the face of the wilderness a fine, flake-like thing, fine as frost on the ground. When the people of Israel saw it, they said to one another, ”What is it?” For they did not know what it was. And Moses said to...

Die. Lose your life. Crucify the flesh with its lusts and evil desires. Nail all of it to the bloody, violent finality of Jesus’ cross. Murder the passions for worldly things that stain the conscience and compromise the saint. What is there to lose? Mediocre spirituality? An impotent prayer life? Half-hearted worship and service? The nagging of an...

I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to his father.
But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms...
