God’s Kingdom
God blesses those people
who want everyone to be treated right more than to eat or drink.
They will be given what they want!
Our family is reading through the book of Matthew together currently, and we came to chapter five today. Many may know that chapter five is where you find the words Jesus spoke which [...]

As I mentioned a while back, I’ve been reading through Paul’s letter to the Christians in Corinth. (1 Corinthians.) I’m trying to do it in bigger chunks to get a broader perspective of what Paul is talking about in this letter. It’s one that has always slightly baffled me. Paul (a [...]
It has struck me again recently just how significant Jesus is.
It’s not just that our entire calendar is based roughly on the year of his birth some two thousand years ago now. (Though that’s pretty significant.) It’s not just that there are people all over the entire world who know his name and [...]
Joe Boyd is a friend of ours from college, and today he announced that his book, Between Two Kingdoms is available for pre-order, and I thought I might spread the word for him here at GregsHead.net as well.

I recently re-read this article I wrote way back in 2005! It was included in my book, There’s The Steeple… Here’s The Church!, and was just a cool reminder to me that if we want to be part of something “successful” (really successful) then it’s best to see where God is working and follow [...]
It’s about Jesus.
That may seem simplistic, but I really believe it’s true.
If you’ll permit me… I just need to lay down some thoughts I’ve been working through on this.
The Kingdom is not about what we can do (with or without Jesus’ help). Life as a follower of Jesus is not about going (or NOT [...]
Last night I was discussing Sunday morning worship services with some friends who lead such an event and said something in a way I am not sure I had prior to that. I think the general thinking had been there, but the thoughts came out more coherently than I expected.
We were talking about the [...]
Christianity is not about learning to live within the lines; Christianity is about the joy of coloring.
That is a quote from the chapter I read this morning from Dangerous Wonder. Jen & I were talking about this last night, how too often Christians are so concerned with what happens after we die, that we [...]
