For What.

Friday, January 25th, 2008

This morning I was revisiting the devotion that was yesterday's devotion for my children. It starts with Psalm 103:8-14 and tells a nice story about restoration and our need to be restored. As I listened to my wife read this to my daughter (who is 6 years old) ...

God’s Vision for a Life.

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Tuesday I was leading a small group through Luke 1:1-4:13.  Several of the questions centered around the future and God's path for you in life.  The group consisted of 4 people all retired.  When these questions came up, specifically, "What experiences have you had with God that have prepared you ...

Copyright and the Church.

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

I am bothered by the constant barrage of information that is put out by the Church with copyright protection. Who's paying the estate of Jesus for the use of His stuff? Well, okay - he's God so he'd probably let us use it, but Matthew on the other ...

The Reset Button.

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

It seems that I am having a wilderness experience (Matthew 4) of sorts. I have been thinking about it as short-circuiting. Whether that means that I am being inundated with temptation right now or my thinking process is off or I have some kind of hormonal imbalance - ...

The Fate of a Tree.

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Thoughts on Prosperity.

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Prosperity takes on different forms for different people (and for different groups of people or cultures). For some it is financial gain, while for others it may be environmental and so on. Do you believe that when someone's purpose is focussed on the "fringe benefits," they can be lead to ...

Questions of Fringe Benefits vs. Purpose.

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their ...

INTP a change…

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Last I took the Myers Briggs (10 years ago) I was an INTJ. What does this change mean???

Facebook Folies.

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

I think it is an interesting phenomena, you add to peoples' profile by writing on their walls, poking them, engaging with them through different plug-ins and you usually get a response. If people on Facebook (and in general) respond positively to requests for relationship, how much more will God ...
