I used to really love music. I used to pay attention to release schedules. I used to buy new albums all the time. I still love music but I just don’t have time to pay attention to release schedules and I don’t have the disposable income to buy new music all the time. WithContinue reading “Music & Discovery”

#Hashtags
Kathy and I watched the Jimmy Fallon sketch about Hashtags. Brilliant. Hashtags on social media are getting #ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is when people use # in #EveryDayLife. But I started thinking about the purpose of hashtags. They started to make it easy to find topics on social media and to see what topicsContinue reading “#Hashtags”
Agreeing with people you want to disagree with
This morning I was reading a book by someone I often disagree with. It’s easy to dismiss a lot of what this guy says. But as I was reading I found that he was saying so much that I agree with. A few years ago this would have been really troubling. I probably would haveContinue reading “Agreeing with people you want to disagree with”
Election
I’ve been thinking a lot about the doctrine of election. Mainly because I have been doing a lot of research in the Minor Prophets. The Prophets were addressing the nation of Israel, which was elected by God to be his nation among the many nations. The problem though was that even though they were anContinue reading “Election”
Be With. Do With. Do Likewise
I have been focusing a lot of reading and thought about how to help Creekside develop disciples. It’s not enough to just gather a crowd. Jesus told his disciples to go and make disciples, not just have a lot of people around. Why is making disciples so important? Because part of being a disciple isContinue reading “Be With. Do With. Do Likewise”
Thank you so much!
Today is my first day back to the office. What an incredible blessing this sabbatical has been. It was great to spend so much time with Kathy and the kids. It was great to read, rest, reflect, and recharge. I am deeply grateful to Creekside Church and the Elders and Deacons who sawContinue reading “Thank you so much!”
Travelling
This week Kathy and I will be travelling to New York City. I’ve never been to New York. Neither has Kathy. We are really excited to go see the sights, hang out with some friends, visit two churches, enjoy so food, etc. But the thing that I am most excited about is that this isContinue reading “Travelling”
With or At
This week I have been auditing a class on Theology of Disability with Amos Yong. It has been really helpful personally. And I think it can be helpful for Creekside as we have been partnering with YoungLife Capernaum for many years. One of the things that struck me today is how do we do ministry withContinue reading “With or At”
Nothing To Say
It’s June 20th, and I haven’t written anything here in nearly 6 months. It’s not that I haven’t had thoughts and things haven’t been going on. I just have not had time, or energy, to formulate those ideas. This is very frustrating. Even more frustrating is when I think about the time that I haveContinue reading “Nothing To Say”
Read Something New This Year
Every year I start a new Bible reading plan. I try to use a different translation every year. This helps me to read these stories in a new way as each translation is a little different. This year I am using the New Revised Standard Version. This version is even more different because it includesContinue reading “Read Something New This Year”
