ShareThis was shared by a friend of mine yesterday: I found myself overwhelmed with His presence in a way I’ve never felt before, or as intensely since. I can only describe it as an overshadowing. I lay there and cried and said, “it feels like you are touching me. How can you….I’m dirt.” He said, [...]

Share If our hearts were our outside bodies, we would see crippled bodies transform into ballet dancers under the gaze and in the embrace of Love.* When you are touched by Love, it reaches down into your deepest fiber. When you are loved, your heart rushes forth in the joy of the dance of life.* [...]

Share I have been reading some books lately written by the Lakota people in South Dakota. It brought back these thoughts. Last year we were having a fantastic dialog centered around the book, “The Shack”. In chapter two, a discussion takes place between the main character, Mack, and his daughter, Missy, about the Multnomah Native [...]

ShareWhat’s missing? Here are excerpts from two of our earliest creeds, the Apostles and the Nicene, in order. Read them and see if you can tell what is missing: “…Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. [...]

ShareJen and I were talking the other day and through our conversation God really spoke healing truth to our hearts. We were recalling the life-stories (without going into the specifics) we have been listening to in our Thrive groups. What we noticed is that when we take the time to hear and experience people’s stories [...]

Share I was looking in my backyard today and noticed all the weeds that have been popping up. I sighed at the thought of going out there and uprooting them. What a pain. Seeing all those weeds got me thinking about Jesus’ words where he taught us not to pull up the “weeds”, but to [...]

Share The Bible is incomplete. It is. That’s not bad. Just the limits of putting anything to written form. Even John says, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” [...]

Share There is a scene in the movie Amélie where she asks the question, “I wonder how many people are making love right now?” The cinema montage that followed were scenes of couples all over France making love, which, incidentally, caught my wife and I off guard, scrambling for the remote. By the time we [...]

SharePost 2 of 2 If you haven’t already, please pause and read post 1. I am still in process over this and have been for some time… My journey with this passage began about a year ago. I was reading a book written by a Calvinist who believed in the 5 points of Calvinism (TULIP) [...]

SharePost one of two… Warning: Long post ahead. Chapter five in Romans is the pivotal point of Paul’s letter. Everything prior is building up to it. Everything after is a celebration and a fleshing out of its conclusions. It’s conclusions and intent are direly important to the message of Romans that Paul is trying to [...]

Share We are having a fantastic dialog centered around the book, “The Shack”. In chapter two, a discussion takes place between the main character, Mack, and his daughter, Missy, about the Multnomah Native American Legend: Mack waited while the girls processed their thoughts. Missy was the next to ask, “Is the Great Spirit another name [...]
