Just me following Jesus. Faith is Like Landing an Airplane. March 13, 2015. Landing an airplane is not hard. At least, it’s not hard like playing classical guitar or custom building cabinetry. It is more like a dance. Like dancing, there are two involved: you and airplane. Like dancing, there is give and take involved. Like a dance partner, the airplane wants to go where you lead. But, you need to know how to get it there. No, came the perturbed response, I mean add a little power. So they commenced prac...

Just me following Jesus. April 17, 2012. April 17, 2012. Article really got me going, simply because it is so obviously one-sided, from the get go. Here it is:. Published: April 16, 2012. By Barbara Bradley Hagerty. What would Jesus do with the U.S. economy? That’s a matter of fierce debate among Christians with conservatives promoting a small-government Jesus and liberals seeing Jesus as an advocate for the poor. The poor. I strongly disagree. To help them get out of poverty. Advocating for the poor.

Just me following Jesus. Grace on the Barr Trail. August 11, 2016. But just like walking that trail there are times of relative ease, where the path may still be challenging, but not as difficult as before. Those are moments of grace, when Christ restores the soul and whispers, I won’t let you fall. As I walked that trail I stopped for a moment, with the sun just rising over the horizon, and thanked God for the grace that restores soul and drives me on. 4 Lessons on Manhood from Adam. August 2, 2016.

Just me following Jesus. Stories of Christian Persecution Fatima of Saudi Arabia – YouTube. February 20, 2015. So, I just came across this video from Open Doors. It’s a year old, but a powerful message nonetheless. Via Stories of Christian Persecution Fatima of Saudi Arabia – YouTube. What does it look like to be a ‘unto death a Christian’? Is it even possible, when American Christianity is built upon making people comfortable, to be ‘unto death a Christian’? Is Christianity really risky in America?

Just me following Jesus. Worship and the Consumer. March 17, 2015. That is a common practice for businesses who want to succeed. When a product isn’t selling, it is often redesigned, improved, or simply replaced by something that does sell. In this way manufacturers respond to their audience the consumer. The manufacturer who responds quickly with a product the consumer wants will succeed. The manufacturer who insists on selling something no one buys will go out of business. And ‘will they come back?

Just me following Jesus. The Unchained Woman – WSJ.com. March 9, 2012. A husband has to be fairly affluent for his wife to be able to afford to stay home: “Only a few households can afford to give up a good second income.”. Via The Unchained Woman – WSJ.com. How have we done it? Two incomes may, at times, be necessary. However, doesn’t the ‘necessity’ of dual income marriages say more about our choices and priorities than about how much money we need to live? March 9, 2012. To that end, I think one of th...

Just me following Jesus. Quick and Dirty Thoughts on the Charlie Hebdo Attack. January 7, 2015. As I ponder the attack in Paris and how Christians should think and respond to such attacks, here are three initial thoughts:. We are called to pray for our enemies. Someone may say, But, Pastor, what about justice? Shouldn’t we desire these men be brought to justice? Pray for/support/consider joining missionary work among Muslims.

Just me following Jesus. 3 Lessons on Trust from David and Goliath. January 9, 2015. Trust in the Lord dispels fear. I took my boys rock climbing at Garden of the Gods awhile back. The day we went one of our guides was a young lady about half my size. As I climbed one of the 30-40 foot faces she had me on belay. Looking down at her slight build from 30 feet up, I immediately saw myself falling down as my weight pulled her up! Trust in the Lord Quickens Action. Stories of Christian Persecution Fatima of S...
