I was sitting down in a section of the day’s church gathering that they called the Divine Worship. As is my wont, I made notes of what the preacher was saying. As I listened and noted and also considered the rest of the session and indeed the service, there was something gnawing at me. The […]
Read More Disconnect and ReconnectI came across this video by the dude Alan Hirsch. By the way it’s also worth nabbing the book he wrote with his wife Untamed. I am still going through it presently and cannot recommend it highly enough. Great read – because it causes you to look to Jesus, read what He said and then […]
Read More Jesus Is Lord – What Does That Mean?I am glad that people have referred to this as the information age. It certainly appears as though there has been an explosion of availability of information from especially sources like the internet. At your finger-tips you can identify the capital of Bolivia (Sucre), the seventh president of India (V. V. Giri) and the great […]
Read More Knowledge and InformationThis is just me thinking out loud blog-style. I am getting to the place where I’m relaxed about the fact that because of a number of factors I am the way I am. no point in getting all wound up about it. It is what it is and there is no changing the past. What […]

Read More The Hair Experience: An ExplanationThe young brother meant well. He was sharing about how his two friends, who were not yet believers, were going through their issues, and he was encouraging them to have faith and just come to church and see how God was real and could help them. I get that. I understand that. I am sure […]
Read More Why The Answer To The Problem Is Not Always ‘Come To Church’(Big thanks to Kathleen over at the remarkable and outstanding Church in a Circle blog. Her entry on The Burden of One was the inspiration for this blog entry. Go over and check out the entry and the rest of the good material on the site.) More than ever before, I am convinced that for […]
Read More The Work of The Ministry: It Takes A TeamIt occurred to me the other day to consider what it was to be Christopher Dryden and there were some things that sprang to mind that was worth noting. (Oh and remember, it is Christopher, not ‘Chris’ that geezer died almost 3 years ago.) Being Christopher Dryden is – A follower of Jesus Christ still […]
Read More Being Christopher DrydenOK, this honesty thing might get me in trouble, but I’m going ahead anyway. There are some things in the Bible and in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ that I run away from. Not overtly. Oh no, I’m far too savvy for that. I do my running discreetly.
