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 […]

The Dichotomy of Trust and Control
Life is full of options. There are choices everywhere. I think maybe in America we are overwhelmed by choices. We have such an abundance of material wealth (yes, even in “this economy”) that we have probably thousands of choices to make each day. But even though there are so many choices, for we who follow […]
¿Saber, Ó Conocer?
A few months back, I wrote about our culture’s fixation with knowledge. I called it Information Exchange. Well, I have revisited those ideas again recently. It seems everywhere I look, the more noble goal, the thing to most strive for in life is knowledge. We paint scientists and teachers and other fact-based professions as the […]
Galatians [3:24-29]
Remember we were studying through Galatians? 🙂 Galatians 3:24-29 Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian and teacher to lead us until Christ came. So now, through faith in Christ, we are made right with God. But now that faith in Christ has come, we no longer need the law as […]
I’m Not That Religious
“I’m not that religious…” Have you heard people tell you this before? I have. If you are a Christ-follower I bet you have as well. Usually if people know that we have aligned ourselves with Jesus in some way, they often will offer that information. One recent weekend past, I met a fellow named George. […]

“Just trust me!” A phrase that is usually first met with MORE skepticism than was first present in the trustee. When you hear the phrase, “Just trust me”, it usually makes you wonder if you should. We are, by nature, not trusting. It certainly feels like we have a tighter grasp on what is best […]
Life is SO Fragile
16 years old, strong, energetic (mostly… he is a teen-ager!) 🙂 Parents who love him, a baby sister who might admit to that, family and friends. Life is full of potential and goodness, despite anything that might try to dampen that… life is good. And then it ends. Some friends of ours just lost their […]
The Heart
This is an article I wrote a couple days ago… when thinking about issues I have been blogging about in recent days… it is… interesting to say the least. It is 4 pages long. So… just wanted to warn you. Please don’t be scared off. 🙂 I don’t usually write that much at once. Lots […]
Life Is You
So… it always happens this way… In the middle of intense busyness and while feeling quite burdened and overly stressed … a song was birthed. I really don’t do that much anymore. I can easily push them aside, the little lyrics and melodies and piano/guitar riffs. I have other stuff to do. And, well, I […]
