“Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously...”
– Several times over the past couple of weeks I have been asked if something is a sin or not, now whether it is from concern for what is right or concern from what I can get away with I do not know….but there is a problem that exists in our misunderstanding of following Christ and what grace...

“Community, then, cannot grow out of loneliness, but comes when the person who...”
– We all desire meaningful friendships, relationships, bff’s, soul mates - so those last two are a cheesy reminder of my childhood but carry with their title significant meaning. Best friends forever, soul mate, my other half. Do you remember the necklaces adorned with charm cut in half - one...

“None of us is very good at silence. It says too much.”
– Frederick Buechner
Lord, Help me walk slowly and deeply with you through the hours and minutes of this day - that I might find all of you that is to be found within it. Allow me not to miss you because of hurry or busyness, but let me sense the fullness of your presence in each moment. Slow down both my feet and my heart that I might be more present to you as I go about my normal activities. (JLB)
We are...

– Your love and grace is enough…but what about the popularity, success, experiences, that boy or girl, those clothes, the ipod, or ipad, a dog, cat, car, house, marriage, kids. Sounds simple. A simple prayer. Sounds like the simplicity of the 2 commandments summed up by Christ. Love God. ...

– Our desire for intimacy - maybe its with friends, family, our significant other, or children….to be utterly known….scripture talks about intimacy in Genesis, in the beginning it talks about walking with God, but more than that it talks about being naked and unashamed, now i am not...

“Dear Lord Jesus
I am still so divided. I truly want to follow you, but I also...”
– we talk about unlearning the way of the world, its voice, its influence, its conditioning…we talk about being attentive to God’s moving, his story, his voice…to remember who we are - sons and daughters of the king, and to remember who our father is - the creator, sustainer, and...

What if ... ?
Today we celebrate Christmas, we celebrate Christ coming into this world, God taking on flesh, we celebrate Jesus born in Bethlehem...what would happen to this community, or country if that were true in our lives as well...what would happen if Jesus were born in us, and took on flesh in us from this day on...? What if ...? What would be different ... The questions : how would that affect us?...and what would be the effect in our community?
“Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum...”
– The Little Drummer Boy…
Before this Christmas I never really gave this song much thought…more than the drum beat at the end of each line which is fun to sing when you are a kid, or adult…pa rum pum pum pum.
The 3rd Week of Advent brings us to a what then kind of question. So I...

“slow down everyone you’re moving too fast frames can’t catch you...”
–
a quote in preparation for advent, in the busyness of life, how often do we need to hear these words… advent a time when we pray that God will break into our lives, and we pray that the waters of our soul will be stirred, a season to walk the journey to Christ’s birth, the...
