Knowing the Lord – Hosea 6:3
Some days it is easy to get lost in contemplation than others. Today I was again trying to spend some time with out a phone or screen and just use my memory to focus on the things of the Lord. I had spent all morning working and was just to the point where I was […]
Selfless Christianity
My wife gets me. She has this uncanny knack to get when I am all bummed out, when I am spent. Something about her question tonight made me think about it in a strange light. We have a lot going on. Most of the people don’t care about it, they only see their needs and […]
Old Tshirts

There are some people that just can’t get enough glory in their own sin… I tend to naturally […]
Dance Floor Theology
So I finally heard the God’s Dance Floor song my wife has been talking about… Yet another reason I don’t listen to Christian radio that often … so any clue where the theology comes from for this? Does anyone have a verse for this theology?? Maybe adding Zumba to the worship team will be an […]
Joy vs. Sorrow Hebrews 13:17
It seems in the last two years our little part of the Church has gone through great trials. We have seen lots of people come and lots go. We have had to practice Church Discipline on some and impose some restrictions on others until they either repented of their sin or left. It is not […]
Quote – Triumph Over Sin – John Piper
