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."

  • “Praise the Lord the People of God Do Pray.”

    Left a wonderful meeting this afternoon when I stopped at a red light near Hawthorne’s Pizza. Two guys were sitting around a table outside with their heads bowed. I turned down my music in my car and watched. As I looked intently at their time of prayer before their Father God I noticed that they… Read more

  • Repenting from “It”

    In the colliding seasons of the fall semester of Seminary and the Presidential Election I have stumbled into the vast temptation of having “it” all figured out. And after much grief and struggle I have finally realized where I have been lately and am here to state that,   I don’t have “it” all figured out… Read more

  • Racism and Obama

      Today I have seen a new hope in the eyes of many of my African American friends. I have seen a hope that has been long coming. A hope that was only a dream in the heart of a martyr. As a person of God who happens to be a white male I know all… Read more

  • “Give it Uppa and Turn it Loose”- James Brown

    Did the hardest thing ever in prayer last week. I came to a place of frustration and revelation in my calling as a ministry. Before I walked with God the only church I had was a Cutlass Supreme, my worship was a Blunt, and my God was myself. It was a life of passionate vanity.… Read more

  • Post Sunday Morning Funk and Skeet Ball

    One of endeavors in life had been to fully move from the funky post church feeling into the new week. I presume those who are in any way affiliated with ministry know what I am talking about. It’s the weird emotional feelings that make you question everything that was said and in some strange way… Read more

  • I Like to Potty!

    Lost 100 dollars on my 403b account over the last quarter… does anyone have a strong rope and a stool? Filed as a Christian on my new voter card in the party section… they filed me as Republican… I laughed… hard. It’s potty time at my house!!! The language, the culture, it is priceless. I… Read more

  • How Great is the Father’s Love?

    I’m off work today, cleaning and straightening, praying and praising, playing and reviling. I have realized today how the love of the Father surpasses understanding. My dog’s name is Sadie she is the sweetest, smartest dog and I just flat out love that dog. But there is slight problem, She doesn’t know how much I… Read more

  • Answered Prayer

    A friend of mine from our Prayer Ministry, was telling me about an encounter they had concerning prayer, and I thought that it might be encouraging to you. He was serving communion two months ago at our church, when a young lady came through the communion line, as she came through the line the Lord told him that… Read more

  • “I’m not “not talking” I’m just not talking.”

       Been power housing a theology book the last couple nights for hours on end preparing for class this weekend. It’s like I’m floating down a river of heavy thought with my pencil as my ore touching down on the page to keep me directed. Woke up later than I wanted this morning and as always… Read more

  • He Makes All Things New

    Well I sit in front of the computer today for the first time in long while to Blog. A few months ago my Saturday was my Sabbath and my blog was my weekly baby… today this is not the case. I now have two of my best friends in the world that would rather have my… Read more
