I've been a little heavy the last couple of days, so how about something on the light side? I haven't done one of these in a while, and I've accumulated a ton of great links—too many to throw at you all at once. So, here are only the latest and ...

Greater sins

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Let me state for the record before I start, that I'm not trying to postulate an erroneous theology of some sins being more heinous than others. I agree that you will find evidence in Scripture where there are some sins that are more "serious" in the eyes of God than ...

Trying new things

Monday, July 14th, 2008

I mentioned the other day that we're shifting to a Mediterrasian diet in our household. So far, I'm completely sold, but quite honestly we've not done any food that is too far out from the norm as of yet. Having said that, I am beginning to see how some people ...

Worship Confessional: July 13, 2008

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Pretty low day in attendance yesterday, typical for a sunny July weekend I suppose. I'm going to be a little more transparent than usual with this post so hold onto your hat. This is actually going to be a confessional. Over the last five years in my current place of service, ...

Blog bankruptcy

Friday, July 11th, 2008

I'm declaring blog bankruptcy this week. What does that mean? Am I calling it quits? No, I'm just declaring this week as a loss, putting it behind me and looking forward to next week. I tell ya, when I have a week with a really big migraine, it just throws off ...

Blogger Small Group

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

My apologies to everyone involved, but I won't be participating in this week's Blogger Small Group. I woke up today with a very severe migraine, one of my worst in a long time, and it's all I can do right now just to type this up. Hopefully see you all back ...

Our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor

Friday, July 4th, 2008

My favorite line from the Declaration is the last one. "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." May we as Christ-followers pledge all that and more for ...

Blogger Small Group: Romans 3:21-31

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

This is a Blogger Small Group entry in partnership with Run'n Like a Vagabond. Romans 3:21-31 = This is going to sound really simplistic, but my take on these verses this week came as a subtle but pointed reminder. There's a whole lot of theology going on in this set of ...

The Blessings of Discipline

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Disclaimer: At no time in this post am I claiming my children are perfect, or better than other children. I am just stating observed facts, and using my children as an object lesson. If you are offended in any way by this post, you have a problem that is your ...

Blogger Small Group: Romans 3:9-20

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

This is a Blogger Small Group entry in partnership with Run'n Like a Vagabond. Romans 3:9-10 = I love how Paul essentially points out in the first eight verses of the chapter that the Jews really did drop the ball. They were chosen as God's people and entrusted with the truth ...
