So I’m reading in Ezekiel about how his life is an example to people of what God is going to do. More than the other prophets I think God uses Ezekiel as a metaphor. But here’s this guy, who has to do these crazy outlandish things for God, and he does them. He lives theContinue reading “Zeke”

Ecclesiastes
So last night we launched transit and we talked about Ecclesiastes, a great, great book, if you’re committed to work through and wrestle through what it brings up. I know that in our talk last night it hit some folks pretty hard, and that’s ok the Bible should force us to really consider life, and chapter 1 does exactlyContinue reading “Ecclesiastes”
The Gifts of the Jews
So one of the many books that I checked out from the Library is The Gifts of the Jews but Thomas Cahill. This book is not a christian book, it’s not a jewish book, it’s a scholarly look at the way that the jews have shaped history. It’s pretty incredible that a wandering tribe ofContinue reading “The Gifts of the Jews”
Sin and Shalom
So I have checked out several books from the public library, One of which is Engaging God’s World, A Christian Vision of Faith, Learning and Living by Cornelius Plantinga. This book is written to First Year College Students, and it’s designed to give them a perspective and understanding on how the World works and howContinue reading “Sin and Shalom”
Heresy Free
Another reason to thank God for the internet, if it weren’t for this online survey I would never know for sure where I stood on the Chalcedonian Decree. 100% Baby Woo-Hoo! You scored as Chalcedon compliant. You are Chalcedon compliant. Congratulations, you’re not a heretic. You believe that Jesus is truly God and truly manContinue reading “Heresy Free”
Jesus . . . what a guy
So last night I was writing my notes for >>beyond>> and I was just blown away again and again with Jesus. He’s pretty stinking rad. Last week he told us not to worry, and to keep our treasure in heaven, and now this week he’s telling us to be ready for his return. The onlyContinue reading “Jesus . . . what a guy”
The Beauty of the Infinite
So every once and awhile I like to read stuff that I know will really challenge my thinking and stretch my brain a little bit. So I went to the library and put on reserve a bunch of books that seemed interesting, one of which is The Beauty of the Infinite, by David Bentley Hart.Continue reading “The Beauty of the Infinite”
Monday Morning Reflections
So this morning I have been working AND taking care of Judah while Kathy is sleeping because she had to work last night. This has been tough. But we made it. Mondays are always tough because Judah’s schedule is all messed up because of Sunday. But he’s sleeping right now. I have been trying toContinue reading “Monday Morning Reflections”
God’s Grace
one of the things that I have been trying to come to terms with is a biblical understanding of God’s grace. And when I read the Bible I can clearly see implied messages of God’s ultimate sovereignty and authortity, and whoever comes to grace in Christ is secure in that grace. And I love thatContinue reading “God’s Grace”
Mortality
I just heard that a very influential person in my life just had a heart attack of some sort. I don’t know all the details, but man this really hits home. As far as I know he is still alive but man mortality sucks. I wish we didn’t have to go through these hardships inContinue reading “Mortality”
