The Pharisees couldn’t understand that, how could Jesus and his disciples hang out with “those people”? They had to question Him…. Favors from God. They didn’t need a savior because they could save themselves. But they got it all wrong. They didn’t expect Jesus to sacrifice Himself to free us all:. Jesus gave Hi...

Em Português / In Portuguese. How can you mend a broken person? January 11, 2011. How can you mend a broken person? There is an old song that asks “How can you mend a broken heart? 8221;, talking about a romantic relationship gone bad. Based on the topic of brokenness I ask, how does God mend a broken person? Photo courtesy of iStockphoto/sb-borg. When something is broken inside a person (a hurt or trauma from the past) it keeps them from being whole. Sometimes, the person tries to patch things up with d...

Public Christianity: Daily Worship
http://theoppositepc.blogspot.com/2013/08/daily-worship.html
Wednesday, August 07, 2013. As some of you know, I've been busily writing. So what do you think, what is the difference between these three acts of personal worship? We concluded that you can tell a lot by the name. A quiet time is just that- a time to withdraw to a quiet place ( Luke 5:16. On this very thing that is worth checking out). Versus drinking milk. Or rather than just watering the soil, this is applying fertilizer. It is important to note these distinctions. When I was a "baby Christian" I...

Recover Your Joy: 01/01/2012 - 02/01/2012

Unearth your joyful essence and enlighten your spirit. Tuesday, January 31, 2012. If they can make penicillin out of moldy bread, they can sure make something out of you. I don't know about you, but there are days when I feel like that piece of moldy bread - non-digestible and non-appealing. It's nice on those days to remind myself. I am good for something! Being in this place of the peaceful unfolding of my day is unnerving. I am learning I need to unlearn aspects of my day. 2 Read something inspiration...

Public Christianity: Demons
http://theoppositepc.blogspot.com/2013/07/demons.html
Monday, July 08, 2013. When I share songs on my "Music Monday" series, it is usually to call us to think more deeply about a song's meaning- asking what hits us deep down when listening to it, and what lessons can we apply to our daily lives. It is one thing to have a favorite song that you love to listen to, but what does it mean to you? We need to consider the perspective of the singer/songwriter and think about how others may also relate. As a complete aside, the advertisement that played for me prior...

Public Christianity: Redemption in the Desert
http://theoppositepc.blogspot.com/2013/07/redemption-in-desert.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. Redemption in the Desert. The need for redemption is a universal theme. In music this can be expressed lyrically. But since the dawn of a relatively new medium- the music video, it can also be expressed aesthetically. (did you know that 40% of all YouTube views are of music videos? These two songs have nothing to do with one another, other than this common theme found in their videos. That, and they're both really cool songs. Posted by Fatha Frank.

NilsenLife: Game changers
http://nilsenlife.blogspot.com/2011/03/game-changers.html
Living imperfectly with great delight. Who IS that Masked Blogger? Tuesday, March 22, 2011. I'd kind of cooked up a goal for myself this year: flush with the thrill of my big race in October. The girl who'd never run longer than a 10k decided she could run a half marathon. And yes, the dither implicit in that first sentence is intentional - I was torn between the couch potato I'd been for so long and the runner I really believed myself to be. I chose to just leave the window open. After 14 days' rest, I ...
