The God Concept, Part 3: First Love

November 4, 2008

I was more than just a bit confused when I first read how Jesus refers to those of us who hope to be among the chosen (those who enter the kingdom of heaven) as His “bride.” And while most men hurry past Jesus’ marriage parables without fully embracing the depth of their message, I’ve noticed [...]

The God Concept Part 2: Love

September 13, 2008

In part 1 I spoke of complete “obedience” to God as evidence of belief in an all-powerful and worthy God, and used the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matthew 25:1-17) to illustrate that total obedience is required of those who truly love Him. I also identified the dilution of the English language as [...]

The God Concept, Part 1: Obedience

August 24, 2008

Who is God to you? I don’t mean in a theological sense, nor am I asking for you to think up all the verses that help you define Him from a scriptural perspective. I’m asking you to consider the meaning of God as a concept, an authority, and as a person in your heart and [...]

The Sermon on the Mount: The Foundational Rock of Christianity

August 22, 2008

Anyone who has ever studied mathematics or science knows that before advanced theories or laws can be understood, one must first understand the elementary principals – the basics, the fundamentals, the elemental/foundational truths of that discipline — but it takes little or no grasp of these laws to make use of them. You don’t have [...]

My Utmost for His Highest: Oswald Chambers’ classic

August 18, 2008

I began reading Oswald Chambers’ classic devotional My Utmost For His Highest in 2002, and it has impacted my faith more than any non-biblical text I’ve ever read. Many believers say the book has had equal impact on thier walk with Christ, as evidenced by the fact that it is the best selling Christian devotional of [...]

Understanding scripture to serve in debate: What did Jesus Say?

July 21, 2008

 I recently responded to a lively debate going on at a different blog with the following post (another of my “standing on one foot” commentaries), and oddly enough it seemed to silence the debate, as none of the most vocal participants responded to my comment despite my request that they do so. While it’s a [...]

Concerning the Lord’s Supper and His Bread of Life discourse

July 1, 2008

The following is a excerpt of a response to a blog post where the writer asked for discussion on the “sacrament” of communion and Christ’s “flesh and blood” commands of John 6. While I plan to follow up on my statement (which as you’ll likely see I wrote on the fly while standing on one foot), I believe this proper [...]

Discerning the Face of the Sky

March 16, 2008

Anyone who lives in the Southeastern US, especially residents of Atlanta or those of us who live in Charleston, South Carolina will not soon forget the sudden and violent storms that ruined an otherwise beautiful pre-spring Saturday in the deep south. I volunteer as a coach for my daughter Amber’s high school track team, so [...]

Speaking of Jesus…

March 1, 2008

God has me in a good place right now. I praise Him for His clarity and peace in the midst of some really cool challenges and a lot of awesome meditation too. In the wake of several important conversations I’ve had this past week, my prayer time has been more Spirit filled than ever in [...]
