Today I posted a status on Facebook lamenting how annoying it is that my spiritual life is a near-constant battle with cynicism. If you read this blog, you know that I tend to be a cynic. I’m jaded. I’ve been there. I’ve done that. And on top of all of this I wallow in the [...]
I was never planning on writing a second part to this post, but the attention that the first one garnered has inspired me to follow it up. It was an interesting post. I was really trying to do nothing more than declare over us that “it’s OK” as long as the Holy Spirit is involved. [...]
Oh, how quickly can “my Kingdom is not of this world” turn into “no gods, no masters.”
Today is my last day at work before a four-day weekend. Later today my family will be arriving in town. Tomorrow is Christmas eve. On the edge of diving head first into chaos for the next few days, I was trying to take a little time to reflect on the Christmas Story in the quiet [...]
If I say the word “emergent,” “emergence,” or “emerging” and then connect that with the word Christian, I know for a fact that I will hear one of two responses.

The blog is still here. My domain expired and I didn’t have the money to renew it until today. So don’t worry, I’m still here.
This is part three of a three-part series. I recommend reading parts one and two, if you haven’t already. We are all image-bearers of the Most High God, and we are considered good. Our identity only lies in that. But how do we, as Christians, relay this message to each other? And more importantly, how [...]
This is part two of three-part series. I recommend you read part one if you haven’t already. As Christians, I don’t really think we have that much of a place to call ourselves sinners. I know that’s a bold (and maybe somewhat arrogant) statement, and I could be wrong. In 1 Timothy 1, Paul refers [...]
