It is refreshing to know what the mission is. It won’t be expressed in the same way in all locations, at all times. It will necessarily be presented differently as determined by the context. There will, however, be key similarities in the expression. It will revolve around demonstrating and declaring God through His Son, Jesus […]
Read More JJ 24 #04: This is the Message, “This is the Mission.”Aaron going with Moses was not a concession by God. I can see how it looks that way. Moses gave reasons why he couldn’t do what God called him to do, and God finally said, “OK, how about your brother, Aaron?” Yet the reasoning that God outlines shows something more than a concession.

Read More JJ 24 #02: Instructions and ForesightIt’s a bit like dusting off the old books on the bookshelf that haven’t been referred to for a long time. I’m referring to this here entry on the blog.

It was one thing that they dedicated him, but it was another thing for him to live in a way that reflected a dedicated life. As a man, he decided to live to the one he was dedicated to. The life dedicated is not a sentiment. It is […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: The Life DedicatedI enjoy my own company and don’t have a problem on my own for extended periods of time.
