The Glory of Surrender
.gif&w=566&h=133&zc=1)
Surrender is something that gets talked about in churches. We have sermons, worship songs, and small groups about it, and I have heard it, sung it, and discussed it. But a few weeks ago, while I was planning worship sets with a group of people, my eyes were opened to a whole new aspect of...
Reframing History
I think we need to get better at reframing history. I am not talking about rewriting history. Rewriting history means I go in with my eraser and pencil, then I take out the things I don’t like or don’t want to remember and insert fresh history, hot off the press. I don’t know from personal...
I’ll Believe It When I See It
Our world is filled with cynics and skeptics. How do I know? I am one, and I find kindred spirits everywhere I go. We doubt together. We scoff together. We investigate together. We are always looking for the hidden agenda and angle we can’t see. We don’t let our true selves be known because we...
My favorite holy-day
Thanksgiving is one week away. And I love it! It’s probably strange for a Christian, a pastor moreover, to say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. After all, shouldn’t Christmas or Easter be one of my favorites? But, in my life, Thanksgiving has captured my heart for two reasons. First of all, my family had...
Prayer
Before I get started, BBQ THIS WEEK AT CHURCH. I will bring the hamburgers; you guys bring drinks or other treats. I have been studying and planning for our next teaching series on prayer. I love starting new discussions because possibilities abound. And as I have been thinking about/praying/contemplating about this next discussion a thought...
Jobs Peak
It was an awesome time. I keep getting fatter every year, but I make it to the top (not a strategy I recommend). We had three newbies make it to the top with us. You missed out if you didn’t come. Here is a pic of the victorious!

Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5 is a good chapter. (It may seem strange to say it. Aren’t all chapters in the Bible “good”? But I digress…) And I love when Paul describes the life by the Spirit. He reminds us that its easy to distinguish a life by the Spirit and one by the broken humanity, drowning in...
Longing
This past Sunday we started on a journey in worship, and where we will end up I am not sure. I know God is leading us in a general direction but I am not sure of the specific location. It’s like knowing you’re going north, but there is a lot up north and you could...
