Ichthus was a great experience. There were so many places that I saw God at work. Here’s a short list (They aren’t in any particular order – I mean how could you rate God’s work anyway?): 1 – The church vans 2 – Our church family helping us pay for gas 3 – Edith and…
Gone Missing
Sorry – I haven’t posted in a while. It’s been so crazy busy trying to get ready for all our summer stuff. We just got back from Ichthus (which was awesome) and now I’ve gotta make a video for Sunday and then begin preparing tool kits for the mission trip. I’ve gotta leave here in…
Bible Study, Swimming Pools, and Cell Phones
Yep – in case you haven’t heard, cell phones don’t work too well in swimming pools. Wednesday, I got thrown into the pool at Bible Study with my cell phone in my pocket. Let’s just say, that if you had looked closely, you might have seen a little steam come off of me. We dried…
Journey
We’ve been doing a 30-day worship Journey with our guys small group and I just thought I’d try posting some of it. First we were supposed to read Psalm 100: Psalm 100 – A psalm. For giving thanks. 1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Worship the LORD with gladness; come…
Da Vinci Code Lies
Just thought I’d share some of the stuff I found and talked about at U-TURN. Jesus was NOT married to Mary Magdalene. Not even one of the 4 gospels makes any reference to this. And the interaction that you see between the two of them in John 20 – there’s not even a hint of…
Dumpster Diving and 3 Hags
Quite a few of you guys told me that you really liked the “Hag Story” the other day. We were experimenting and actually recorded it. If you’d like to download the audio file and listen again sometime, here it is: Hag Story – An fun allegory/story I heard from Rob Morris (who heard it from…
Heroes
I read something today that was interesting. The article said, “A society’s heroes reveal it’s future.” I wonder what it means that our society holds people like Britney Spears in high regard??? What kind of future will we have??? Who are your heroes? What does that say about your future? . . .
Tassels
Read Numbers 15 – 37 The LORD said to Moses, 38 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. 39 You will have these tassels to look at and so you will…
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday is the day that we celebrate Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem the week prior to His crucifixion and resurrection. Anyway, here’s what I learned about the culture of this whole event:
The Soreq Wall
I’m always learning something new. I learned this one from www.followtherabbi.com. Anyway, here it is: I always wondered about the time when Jesus got mad and threw the money changers out of the temple. (Matthew 21, Luke 19, Mark 11) I wondered why everybody thought it was ok in the first place – it seems…
