It grieves me to report that from my estimation, from the US in the city with the most churches… we have almost completely quit estimating our Christianity by spiritual means, discerning the presence of the Holy Spirit and the fruit therein, and we’ve exchanged it for our perceived “church” attendance. Heart-broken. For this is aContinue reading “Exchanged.”

Murmuration vs. Heaven
I’m confident that even the best of us can’t imagine the beauty of G-d’s dwelling place. This video reminds me of that. In the video you can hear the girl cuss… I bet we might do way more than that if we experienced the full beauty and majesty of G-d and His Heaven. http://vimeo.com/31158841
Dallad Willard on His Spiritual Practices
A short video interview with the late Dallas Willard, one of the most profound Christian thinkers of our time. I love to hear about disciple’s personal lives with Christ. I think that there are so many telling things about our faith by sharing our personal spiritual practices. And this is no different. I can’t sayContinue reading “Dallad Willard on His Spiritual Practices”
From Compartment to Fulfillment (Updated*)
One of the more difficult facets about coming out of an organized and human sustained church environment is transitioning into a life more dependent on relationship with God and with the organic group of people that God has strategically placed us in. When I received the revelation that God was calling me out of the traditional prescribedContinue reading “From Compartment to Fulfillment (Updated*)”
Living in the Romance
“Praise Jesus, I’ve been saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Ghost!” Ever said this, or heard someone say something similar. There’s not a lot wrong with it, the intentions of it are pretty good. But, there’s a problem I want to point out… it’s all in the past tense. See we have a tendency toContinue reading “Living in the Romance”
Present and Presence
It seems that us church folks love to focus on the past and on the future of God’s history, while neglecting the present. We study the history of God, what He has done and how He has done it… i.e. creation, covenant, laws, relationships with men and women, ext… And we study the future reignContinue reading “Present and Presence”
Iron Sharpening Iron
Whatever you do in word or deed do it in the name of Jesus! And expect that someone else is going to judge you and have conflict with what you did… in the name of Jesus. Which gives lots of room for us to work through our conflicts using the tools of love, forgiveness, and humilityContinue reading “Iron Sharpening Iron”
Sexuality and Christianity
I am troubled by how we have become so over aware of sexuality. Most every advertisement, every song, every article of clothing, every thought has been steered towards sex and sexual attraction. Sex, being a perk of life and the point of procreation is a wonderful facet of life. Despite popular opinion it is notContinue reading “Sexuality and Christianity”
following Him
John 1:35-37 On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples, and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, `Lo, the Lamb of God;’ and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus. If you rightly teach people to hear the voice of the Lord and follow Him, eventually they’ll quit listeningContinue reading “following Him”
Politicians and Religious Leaders
Mark 8:11-15 (YLT) The Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him; and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And having left them, havingContinue reading “Politicians and Religious Leaders”
