relationship with God
Cry Havoc!
Every so often I have an experience that shakes me up, spins me around and sets me back down again. I take my first steps and I realize a few things are different. Changed. New. And it’s a wonderful moment. Over the weekend I took a retreat with a few close friends and mentors in … Continue reading
Day 171 – Bible Bound
I used to do a daily blog on this site and called “Daily with God”. In it I took a layperson’s journey through whatever book or verse and just started working through that section. As far as I can tell I ended last in Numbers around Chapter 14. So I’m taking up again in Numbers … Continue reading
April 14 – Day 104 – Choices
Tonight at youth group the topic was choices and how those affect our life. How we choose to live a life with Jesus or a life far away from Him. Deciding what we want to do with our lives when it comes to God and us. It was a pretty fantastic topic and we had … Continue reading
March 14 – Day 73 – Faith
I apparently missed the declaration that the movie “Avatar” was demonic and a whole bunch of other things. You can see the post, video and related text here at JackalopeKid. Come back when you’re ready. I’ve tried to play nice with my brothers and sisters in the Christian Faith. I’ve done my best not to … Continue reading
March 3rd – Day 62 – Baptism
I tried to find the post where I talked about this on the blog, but I have no idea where it went. This comes up as I talked about baptism at a recent junior high large group session and my brain pulled this memory from the back of the vault. A year or so ago … Continue reading
Draw the Line?
*updated 12/20/2009 @9:30pm* I’ll blog more about this in this space by Monday afternoon but I wanted to open up the gates to see what people think of this article titled “Evangelical church opens doors fully to gays”. Thoughts? If you look down in comments you’ll find two amazing Men of God who lay the … Continue reading
Day 13 – The Stand Not Taken
I’m probably going to catch some flack for this, but I think Rick Warren may need to hire me as his public relations man. I would go so far as to say he’s definitely made life for us Christians a little harder in dealing with people who look at us like we’re crazy. Mind you, … Continue reading
Day 12 – Numbers 14:17-24 – Resolutions
This chapter and verse is fascinating for several reasons. I’m going to keep on being intrigued with the Old School (aka Old Testament) for probably the rest of my life due to this devotional track I’m bouncing along. One of the things that sticks out to me here is the fact that God continues to express his … Continue reading
Day 11.5 – Numbers 9:4-5, 9-12 – “Never Forget”
God’s a funny character. At least, for us humans. Our frame of reference for The Big Guy is finite. There’s not much for us to base our understanding of him aside from what we have in the Bible. Oh and the millions of theologians and the books they wrote. Maybe finite plus one is more … Continue reading
Day 10 – Leviticus 22:1-8 – More Rules
God didn’t play around back in Old School (aka Old Test) and this verse is one huge exhibit of how he rolled with the people of Israel. He loved (and still does) them so much that they were to him his children. As children slowly grow, mature and get older you have to set out … Continue reading
