“There are three great men sitting in a room – a king, a priest, and a rich man. Between them stands a common sellsword. Each great man bids the sellsword to kill the other two. The question is – who lives, who dies?” If power were truly in the hands of swordsmen then why do…

“Many are the plans in the mind of man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”  As I read that this morning I was thinking about how absolute and simple that is. I scheme and plot my ways to success, but what happens will be the will of God. God does…

In Mark 13, Jesus talks about the end times. He talks of catastrophe and isolation, deserters from the Kingdom of God and more. But he also commands us to “stay awake.” He says it twice in the chapter. Incredible profoundness to the simple mission statement of “stay awake.” We never know the hour of the…

I sit here, Father, feeling the relief of an ever-present God. Your Spirit, the Advocate, is here and will be through every part of my day. Through the fatigue of work, through the effort of life, through the highs of good circumstances and the pains of bad news – you are here.  I pray that…

I’m resting in the person I was designed to be this morning. I may do stupid things, but that’s part of life. In the past I’ve tended to think of myself as the things I did – if I had a great worship session, I’m a connected and worshipful Christian. If I have a killer…

I’m gonna start strong and spend the rest of my time unpacking things. To be upfront this is a letter I am writing to myself first, and anyone who cares to listen next. If you choose to stay, I hope you find some thoughts and maybe some practical help in what it means to escape…

In a world where there is no creator, how is anyone accountable for their actions? We are the product of intense and ancient biological codes programmed through meaningless impulses and development. How can anyone be liable for their actions? How was the Holocaust evil or the mass shootings in the US considered wrong? If nature…

Wanted to say something important to me that might help you today with all the change you are experiencing. It’s going to be a little long, but bare with me if you have the time, I think this is worth sharing. Emotion isn’t an easy thing. Today, as I was sitting at a Chick-fil-A in…

Can God be referred to as a woman? Is God both a father and a mother figure? Will gender be neutral in Heaven? If no, what is its point on earth? If yes, what is its point heaven? How would you define sexual misconduct…without external references? Can you commit a sexual sin with your spouse…

Everywhere I go in Christian circles I fell like these is group-think. Who can inspire the biggest “mmm.” It’s like a competition, causing many to laugh and not enough to feel sick. Somehow, I tend to long for the culture of the secular. Not because Jesus is not there, but because of its rawness and…
