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." 

Street Corner Devotions

  • From the Digital Ashes… The Beautiful You 

    A friend and I went to an Arts conference a few weeks ago. It was one of the first times I publicly identified as a writer. Although I have always identified as an artist, it was refreshing to specifically own up to writing.  Perhaps in the past, I thought if I don’t tell anyone then Read more

  • Luminaries

    Do you know what’s wrong with this country?! And what’s wrong with the political system? Do you know what’s wrong with this younger generation? And the schools? What’s wrong with the church?!?! The problem is that we are conditioned by this world to focus and dwell on what’s wrong!! (How’s that for a Jesus-juke?!) In Read more

  • The Score Keeper

    Have you ever kept the score at a baseball game or watched someone do it? It’s a distinct task that keeps track of every single hit, pitch, swing, foul, strike, ball, and strikeout. Regardless of technological changes, it happens at every baseball game. What’s cool is that you can look back over a scorecard and Read more

  • Who Am I

    I’ve spent my entire life trying to figure out who I am and the past 20+ years as a disciple of Christ. I believe that I have finally figured it out. I’ll spare you the HUGE list of titles I’ve had, some of which have great meaning to me like Dad and Pastor, yet who Read more

  • Not Fair

    This was written to share with my Co-workers. Seems right to share it here, as well. As a father of two younger children I’ve found the perpetual argument over fairness between them to be maddening. I’m almost 8 years into their coexistence and I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve heard “That’s not Read more

  • Preachers and Politicians

    “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.” – Jesus (Mark 8:15) Jesus is noted as making a similar statement in Matthew 16:12-13. Both comments that he made were seemingly out of context of the situation He and His disciples were in and both times He didn’t elaborate much on the Read more

  • Neo Midrash

    It’s been said that knowing G-d is akin to a person pointing up to the moon. The finger that points is the people, the scriptures, the lessons, etc. and the moon is G-d. The finger does its absolute best to point in the right direction and if that goes well the observer sees the moon Read more

  • normal

    When I’m not invested in mission or distracted by the simple pursuits of life… I feel a deep ache. The world is not as it should be. Most pursuits are vanity. Very little is rightly aligned to Heaven. I see now why the believers of the first few centuries struggled with living the normal life. Read more

  • Pouring Out the Puzzle Pieces

    According to the 2019 US Census, 20% of fathers are absent from their minor children. I have to admit that when I first became a father I was shocked as to how much sacrifice was demanded of me. Mothers, you may be rolling your eyes all the way back in your heads right now as Read more
