Ancient Paths in a Modern World

"Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." 

Confessions

  • State of the Union

    Hey Ya’ll! Sorry, I’ve not posted much lately. But as most of you know I’m now a dad. Which is a big deal. Much bigger than I had expected. And I mean that in the best of ways. I wanted to take a few minutes and update you as to a few things that are… Read more

  • a letter to you

    Dear Friend, It’s come to my attention today that things have not been working out for you. You planned on things happening a certain way. That you would be doing something different  by now. That the situation you’re in would of changed by now. And it seems to be that the demands you’ve made on… Read more

  • refueled

    I met with a friend who needed refueling today. As we met and chatted about God and ministry and life you’d be tempted to believe that the words were the fueling. Or maybe the fueling was in the prayers and the encouragement? But I’m confident that the fueling happened in the love that was shared… Read more

  • the basics

    “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” – Jesus in the… Read more

It’s much like parenting, sometimes resented and most always questioned, yet somehow God works within its confines to form exactly what… Read more

  • Vacation

    To be honest… …it’s like I’ve been on a vacation for the last 10 years. My prior life had no purpose and little hope. Then I chose to dive headlong out of my old life and into the life of Christ. God met my act of faith with the reward of a new life- adventurous… Read more

  • rightful aim

    I set aside time alone to quarantine the most relevant enemy, my self. Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;  but I discipline my body and make it my slave. 1 Cor. 9:26-27 Read more

  • getting over it

    “God is asking me, the unworthy, to forget my unworthiness and that of my brothers and dare to advance in the love which has redeemed and renewed us all in God’s likeness. And to laugh, after all, at the preposterous ideas of  ‘worthiness.’” – Thomas Merton Read more
