Ramblings On. . .

Tim Keller is a brilliant evangelical mind. With the heart of a pastor he writes a powerful, yet simple apologetic for the Christian faith. The book is divided into two parts. The first part looks at several of the protests against the Christian faith (and faith in general). Keller does a [...]

I was perusing the blog-o-verse today and I came across this thought from Peter Blue, who is a worship leader in Canvas and serves at Cedar Park.  Peter was the worship leader in youth group when I was growing up and he was always a huge encouragement in my life, as well as someone who [...]

The God Who Smokes is a refreshing look at theology through Timothy Stoner’s personal experiences.  All of theology should apply to life and when you read The God Who Smokes I believe you will see all the various ways that God is talking to and revealing himself to you.
TGWS is a middle road between [...]

So I was listening to Mark Driscoll talking about the Trinity today, and he was talking about the Shack. which our church has recommended people read. I don’t usually post my disagreements with other church leaders on here, but I just had to. And normally I think Driscoll is encouraging and challenging [...]

One of my favorite people in the world is blogging.   Jay Smith and I grew up in the same church, he serves as the youth pastor at said church, and I interned with him way back in the day.  Jay has always been a great friend, and somehow his wife Sandy and my wife Kathy, [...]

If you are looking for a camp that [...]

So I’m reading the Screwtape Letters with Jordan Brown.  I’ve read this book a number of times and each time I’m blown away by the descriptions that Lewis gives for the demon world.  Something that really amazed me was the way he talks about the fear that Demons have of God and Jesus and their [...]

Jesus died for more than just to get us into heaven.  He died so that we could live for him entirely.  I’ve been reading Dallas Willard’s, the Divine Conspiracy.  I’ve been taking my time because it’s really, really deep and challenging.  But I read a section today that I just had to share.  Willard is [...]

I just finished reading through Galatians.  Man this is an incredible letter, that talks about the freedom that we have in Christ, and the ability to live redeemed lives that only comes through the Holy Spirit.  Everytime I read this book I am reminded that it’s not about me being perfect, and it’s not about [...]
