Transforming Where it Hurts

I think that a person can get addicted to religion just like alcohol, or over-eating, or shopping. Yes God does have all the answers... but there's a difference between the lengths you are going to, and the place He wants to meet you.  Is your current revelation transforming you, or is it just your latest … Continue reading Transforming Where it Hurts →

This is the Body

1 Corinthians 12:7 "A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person to produce what is beneficial..." What is given? A manifestation of the Spirit. For what purpose? To produce what is beneficial.  These are Divine gifts given not merely to the individual through whom they are manifest, but to other members of the … Continue reading This is the Body →

Identity Drift

I have been thinking, lately, about spiritual identity.  This was inspired by looking at the attitudes Jesus confronted in His lifetime, as well as the multitude of denominations, sects and movements in existence today, each defending their viewpoints passionately.  In my opinion, many are searching for a purer, truer expression of the faith, and many … Continue reading Identity Drift →

Culturally Objectionable Words

Mainly, I wanted to share an article a friend sent me awhile back about about the use of, let's say, culturally objectionable words.  My disclaimer here is that I have not fully evaluated all the claims made by the authors of this site, so I want to clarify that my sharing here is in no … Continue reading Culturally Objectionable Words →

Freedom vs Unintended Bullshit

The following is a comment I offered on the blog of a good friend of mine, Chris Benedict  "This makes me consider how, especially in the church context, when I talk about the truths which I profess to believe, I want to convey them in a way that is psychologically relevant. (When we are about … Continue reading Freedom vs Unintended Bullshit →

Lord of the Sabbath

"Therefore don't let anyone judge you in regard to food or drink or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or sabbaths.  These are a shadow of what was to come; the substance is the Messiah." -Colossians 2:16-17 "One person considers one day to be above another day.  Someone else considers every … Continue reading Lord of the Sabbath →

Lenses and Images

It is not clear to me that I am in a place right now where I can say something other than what I need to hear myself. I am preaching things I need to get myself. I was once having a conversation with with someone about the need for truths known in the head to … Continue reading Lenses and Images →

Things are not as They Appear

"For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself if he does not judge the body rightly" - 1 Corinthians 11:29 1 Corinthians 11:17-33 is not a passage to be used by your church as an incantation for their particular theological bent on communion. Instead, it is a call for the church … Continue reading Things are not as They Appear →

Unique

"Based on the gift they have recieved, everyone should use it to serve others, as good managers of the varied grace of God." -1 Peter 4:10 Two things I want to emphasize here: "based on the gift they have recieved", and, "the varied grace of God". If you don't fit in, maybe it's because God … Continue reading Unique →

Deviating from Peace

"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid themselves from the LORD God among the trees of the garden." - Genesis 3:8 It fascinates me that, after the man and woman ate from the tree of … Continue reading Deviating from Peace →
