What is the Cost?
Well it happened. The United States completed yet another transfer of power and not has a new presidential administration. There was and is a lot of fear, anger, relief, joy, and sorrow in the nation today. There will be hot takes and retrospectives galore about this season in the life of our Republic. To beContinue reading “What is the Cost?”
Spiritual Hydration
After my recent bout with COVID-19, a friend told me about a plasma donation center nearby. Blood plasma with COVID antibodies can apparently help those who have severe cases of the illness. This place also pays you for donating, which certainly helps this time of year. If you have never given plasma before, it isContinue reading “Spiritual Hydration”
The Fruit of Discernment
I am not sure if you pay attention to Christian Twitter at all, but if you do, then like me you have noticed an increasing amount of discussion about Christian Nationalism. Christian Nationalism, as best I can tell, is the elevation of national interests to God’s interests. In other words, when America wins, God wins.Continue reading “The Fruit of Discernment”
Christian Kindness
But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, andContinue reading “Christian Kindness”
How to Survive 2020 and The Years to Come
I know, I know, December is a little late for a post on how to survive 2020. After all, we are almost at the finish line! Soon we will be able to chalk this whole year up to hindsight. Get it? However, at much as we wish it were true, there is nothing magical aboutContinue reading “How to Survive 2020 and The Years to Come”
Resolutions for the Church in 2021
Well, you knew it was going to happen eventually. Pretty soon we will all be inundated with 2020 year end reviews. Oh won’t those be fun. Then we will all start planning what we will be doing in 2021 as though the hardship of 2020 will end at the stroke of midnight on December 31st.Continue reading “Resolutions for the Church in 2021”
This is Awkward
So I started this blog with every intention of cranking out one to two posts a week about various discipleship related topics. However, obviously I have hit a lull in my content creation. Two very important reasons (excuses) for that hiatus. First, the election. As we approached the presidential election on November 3rd, I decidedContinue reading “This is Awkward”
Slow Down
I recently finished John Mark Comer’s book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. Let me put it this way . . . Don’t read this book unless you are ready to be convicted. (How’s that for an endorsement?) Seriously, though Comer writes with an engaging and even playful tone, the weight of what he is sayingContinue reading “Slow Down”
Decisions, Decisions
From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord!This shall never happen to you.” ButContinue reading “Decisions, Decisions”
Can You Drink His Cup?
And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you mustContinue reading “Can You Drink His Cup?”
