Pray like you tweet

31, Jul 2008

If you're in my circle of tweets, you likely got to be a part of the birth of Chris from Canada's newest little girl. Around lunchtime Chris sent out a tweet saying, "Ok twitter time to pray. This baby doesn't want to come out and this family doesn't want a C-section. We need some movement!"
Many [...]

Relevant lyrics, part 2

30, Jul 2008

Here are some more recent lyrics (2006) that are resonating with me for much the same reasons as "Rise Up."
Hosanna—Brooke Fraser
Heal my heart and make it clean.
   Open up my eyes to the things unseen.
Show me how to love like You have loved me.
Break my heart for what breaks Yours.
   Everything I am, for Your Kingdom's cause.
As [...]

Relevant lyrics

30, Jul 2008

I'm all for the modern worship movement, but sometimes there are old songs that say best what is in your heart. Here are some lyrics resonating in my soul today, and they remain as relevant today as when they were written in 1911.
Rise Up, O Church of God—William P. Merrill
Rise up, O Church of God!
   Have [...]

Walmart and witness

29, Jul 2008

I was just in Walmart a little while ago with the fam, and as we walked by the entrance I saw something that just made my day. On the bench next to the front door sat two men talking to one another very intently.
Between them both, held in mutual hands, was cradled the Word of [...]

Post vacation post, and a promotion

28, Jul 2008

Hey all, I know it's been slow lately, and nearly non existent over the last week. I'm recovering from my vacation if you know what I mean.
I do want to take a moment and promote a creation in which my wife had a hand. She and two other "mom bloggers" have been running a group [...]

The value of subjective truths

25, Jul 2008

Hey everyone, I'm on vacation, so that's why things have been so down around here for the last few days, but I wanted to share something that's been bouncing around in my head before I lose it completely.
A few weeks ago, my kids and I were driving in the car and, as kids often do, [...]

130 Years of Sacred Song – Input Needed

17, Jul 2008

We've been working on the nuts and bolts of our upcoming Fall series—something I think we're going to call "One Another." Basically, we're going to looking at and creating opportunities for our church body to put all the "one another" commands in Scripture into practice—love one another, bear one another's burdens, pray for one another, [...]

From the Feed Reader

16, Jul 2008

I've been a little heavy the last couple of days, so how about something on the light side? I haven't done one of these in a while, and I've accumulated a ton of great links—too many to throw at you all at once. So, here are only the latest and greatest links pinned in my [...]

Greater sins

15, Jul 2008

Let me state for the record before I start, that I'm not trying to postulate an erroneous theology of some sins being more heinous than others. I agree that you will find evidence in Scripture where there are some sins that are more "serious" in the eyes of God than others (those He lists as [...]

Trying new things

14, Jul 2008

I mentioned the other day that we're shifting to a Mediterrasian diet in our household. So far, I'm completely sold, but quite honestly we've not done any food that is too far out from the norm as of yet. Having said that, I am beginning to see how some people become "foodies," because trying new [...]
