The 2 Greatest

In what ways does a Christian's life resemble a dog's life?  My friends, we were made for so much MORE!

What was Jesus' Gospel?  What gospel did he preach?  How does it differ from the one being preached today?  How can the three movements of the Gospel help us?

Richard Dawkins claims, now, to be a cultural Christian.  He's not a fan of Islam or of the new sexual ethics.  But can you just be a "cultural" Christian?

It's not a light switch, it's more like a dimmer.  It's a process.  And we do others a disservice when we try to force it in unscriptural haste.

Hello, I'm an over thinker (read I worry too much).  I play out in my mind bad things that MAY happen (but probably won't).  And all that limits my faith in the God who loves me and is more than able.

The Bible must not be turned into a collection of little momentos without regard to the BIG STORY of God.

We often mistakenly impose our culture and life on the pages of Scripture.  But the text was written to a different world, with a different culture.  We need to start THERE first, before we think we know what it means for us today.

The Bible was never meant to be treated like a "name it and claim it" collection of fun facts we like.  It's God's story, but we're not feasting, we're sadly snacking.

We have added so much to the Bible...not the text itself, but the order of books, the division of books and the helps.  Let's make sure the helps don't hurt!

We are ALL anchored to someone or something.  An anchor grounds us and settles us.  We take our anchor with us wherever we go.  What is YOUR anchor?

We all want to be wise--and it comes not in some one and done mysterious, but in everyday practices we can ALL do!  Here they are.

Friends--we love them and sometimes we tolerate them.  Sometimes their "good intentions" only make things worse.  And often it's because of a logic fallacy!

Not all problems are alike in intensity, severity, or priority.  It's important that we learn to discern the difference between muddy puddles and leaky ceilings.

It's not one of the other, it's both.  Jesus brought his authentic self to every situation because he knew who he was and therefore could let go of expectations on others.  Can we do the same?

God wants to teach us through his creation.  Let's LOOK, LISTEN and give praise.

How many shoes do YOU have?  Answer...too many!  What if you encountered someone who had ONE pair and wanted another to preach the gospel? Today I'll tell you what I did!

It's so cool to see God use a simple thing to bring light and life to a community. We are honored to be part of God's water magnet in Zimbabwe.

Sometimes when we have to wait we can get frustrated.  THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE GOD!  Then when we see why we had to wait and God is working in a mighty way, our mouths open, not in complaint, but in praise!

Spiritual warfare is real.  Sometimes it takes a trip to Africa to remind ourselves of the spiritual battle we are in.
