Jesus arrested by saints?
“Having spent time around ’sinners’ and also around purported saints, I have a hunch why Jesus spent so much time with the former group: I think he preferred their company. Because the sinners were honest about themselves and had no pretense, Jesus could deal with them. In contrast, the saints put on airs, judged him, [...]
TODAY
“In the entire history of the universe, let alone in your own history, there has never been another day just like today, and there will never be another just like it again. Today is the point to which all your yesterdays have been leading since the hour of your birth. It is the point from [...]
Let something essential happen to me
Let Something Essential Happen to Me by Ted Loder
O God,
Let something essential happen to me,
Something more than interesting or
Entertaining, or thoughtful.
O God,
Let something essential happen to me,
Something awesome, something real.
Speak to my condition, Lord,
And change me somewhere inside
Where it matters, a change that will
Burn and tremble and heal and explode
Me into tears or laughter [...]
The economy
So much of our concern today revolves around the state of our economy. How distressed are the banks? How poor is the American working class really? How helpless would we be if the market tanked? However, the real economy is a spiritual one, measured not by the riches of the 30 blue chip companies that [...]
Things I don’t understand
A four year old boy was at a church Friday night celebrating the New Year with his momma and his church family. They were bringing in the New Year with prayer and worship of the the great and wonderful God we adore. They were not ringing in the New Year with booze, drugs, and mindless revelry. [...]
Failing to notice
I just finished a book about self deception and the Christian life entitled ”I told me so” by Gregg A. Ten Elshof. The book discusses how we as sinful humans are prone to deceive ourselves and insulate our vain imaginations from reality and truth. One of the chapters deals with attention management and procrastination. It [...]
Maria’s Thoughts
Here are some awesome thoughts from Maria Grogan (courtesy of her blog teachable little moments).
‘He went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.’
Matthew 14:23
I was reminded in my bible study time this morning of the importance of withdrawing and spending time with the Lord alone. I [...]
Fear and love
I have been chewing on this quote a friend emailed me awhile back.
“It all comes down to you and Jesus. You are more evil than you have ever feared, and more loved than you have ever hoped.”
Driscoll “Death by Love” pg 68.
Frightening. On one hand, if we are generous and kind but have no idea [...]
How to quit smoking responsibly
While reading Jonathan Franzen’s How To Be Alone: Essays, I was struck by a particular quote in an essay involving the cigarette industry and Franzen’s own smoking habit. Franzen comments on what is really going on when he as a smoker says he wants to quit but can’t. ”I want to quit but I want even [...]
Alive
I recently received an email from an information specialist at the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy in Texas asking the following questions.
How have you been feeling lately?
Have you developed any other major illnesses or secondary cancers?
Has your disease relapsed? If not, are you currently in complete remission? If you have relapsed, what was the [...]
