Errrrr … Christopher are you using an upcoming movie as a cheesy link to something you want to talk about? Yes. First thing’s first. I do hope to watch the sequel to Avengers Assemble. I really enjoyed the first movie, I am invested enough in the storyline to be intrigued as to what happens next. […]
Read More Disciples AssembleI used to get hung up on finding the right balance. Being a husband, a Dad, a brother, an employee, a trainer, a civilian and all the other hats and responsibilities I had would be rather demanding. Especially considering the amount of things required with each responsibility. It would be very easy to get sucked […]
Read More More About Focus Than BalanceWhat kind of Messiah is that? He’s knocking about with those tax collectors and sinners – eating and drinking with them. I think I just saw him laugh at one of their jokes. Does this man not know who he’s dealing with? What’s that? Zacchaeus??? He’s going to have a meal with that fraud? At his […]
Read More Getting His Hands Mucky: Doesn’t He Know Who He’s Dealing With?I am comfortable not understanding everything. Even about God. Seriously. I am comfortable. It’s enough for me to make the most of the little that I know before getting greedy about looking for knowledge and understanding on everything. What I am reminded of fairly often is that even what I know should not be taken […]
Read More Tweaking ItMen and brethren, what shall we do? Do you understand what you’re reading? Here’s water, what’s stopping me getting baptised? When the King heard the words, he rent his clothes and called for national reform. When he recovered his sight and got baptised, filled with the Spirit he went about preaching the good news. These […]
Read More How Now Should We Live?Paul encourages the church in Corinth something rather interesting. In 1 Corinthians 15:51 Paul says that not everyone will sleep but they shall all be changed. Of course that promise doesn’t mean much until we appreciate what we’re being changed from and we’re being changed to. The contrasts given are stunning – death to imperishable […]
Read More We Will All Be ChangedIt’s worth saying again that in as much as you think you’ve counted the cost there are always emerging factors that muddies the waters. Committing to follow Jesus Christ can appear a wonderful and beautiful thing at first. He has rescued us from sin and by His Spirit He lives within. We have newfound joy. […]
Read More Recounting the CostPeople didn’t always understand Jesus. It didn’t always bother him that they didn’t. In fact He knew a lot of the time they wouldn’t understand Him. But they did connect with Him. There was something about what He said that caused them to react in one way or another. It wasn’t just the signs He […]
Read More Making ConnectionsYou may not think it at the time, but having an inferiority is one of the most defiant and stubborn positions you can take. The most tragic thing about the inferiority position is that it is based on false information. What doesn’t help is when people bring in the term humility to suggest that this […]
Read More Another Word on InferiorityHumbly walking before God leaves no room for pride. I don’t presume to put my name in a blog entry because usually it’s not necessary. Indeed at the end of the day it’s not even about what I think about pride, it’s about what God thinks about it. Yet I felt it was good to […]
