Life in the Journey: July 2007
http://lifeinthejourney.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. I want to talk about something that has been on my heart for a while now: people who are unbiblically burdened. This burden comes in many forms, from a pastor* who is over-worked, a deacon* who is emotionally drained, or even a congregant* who is made to feel guilty. Where does this all lead? Some say it is for the Glory of Christ - maybe, but does this go against what he said about his burden? Should the deacon* be making major decisions about minor things, visiting every church m...

Life in the Journey: September 2007

Thursday, September 27, 2007. Walking through difficulty. together. I almost did not write this post. Honestly, compared to many people and the struggles that they are going through, it is hard for me to call my struggles "difficulties". But, there are difficulties in my life. Everyone goes through difficulties, trials, struggles, whatever we want to call them. Perhaps you would like to thank God for some people who are walking or have walked through difficulty together with you. Links to this post.

Life in the Journey: The Outsiders
http://lifeinthejourney.blogspot.com/2007/09/outsiders.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2007. Have you ever felt like the "outsider"? Here is a story of a couple and their recent experiences with the church. Right now, my wife and I feel like outsiders. Some people in the group we meet with on Sunday mornings seem to treat us, especially my wife, like we don't belong. Why? Well, our best guess is that we do not meet the "good Christian" standards. Are we wrong to feel like we're being treated like outsiders? What do you all think? Have you experienced similar things?

Wednesday, August 15, 2007. Homosexuals and the Church. Many of you may have heard of High Point Church in Texas. They have made some headlines, because they refused to allow a homosexual's memorial service in their church. The American Family Association has linked to an article called, Texas church refuses to host memorial service that would have glorified homosexuality. But they did not leave the family high and dry, the statement continues, "To assist the family in securing another location, an alter...

Life in the Journey: June 2007
http://lifeinthejourney.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2007. Whether we believe it or not, we, God's children, are on a journey. We are on a journey with Christ as our guide. There are many different stages in the journey and every journey can be different. But I believe the journey is all to the same place. There are some who are slowly walking through the hottest of deserts with Jesus looking for a water source. There are some who are scaling the side of a mountain with Jesus one step ahead of them checking for danger spots. I am following...

Life in the Journey: Journey West
http://lifeinthejourney.blogspot.com/2007/08/journey-west.html
Thursday, August 30, 2007. Well, I want to share with everyone a little about the past month in my “Life in the Journey.”. Last month, my family moved from Wake Forest to San Francisco for my husband, Ed, to begin work on his PhD. We lived in Wake Forest for three years, welcoming our first son into the family and being involved in an awesome church family. We don’t know. As I pray about this, I’m reminded that I need to be asking, “What’s God teaching me in this? August 30, 2007 at 4:50 PM. The answer t...

Life in the Journey: The Heart of God
http://lifeinthejourney.blogspot.com/2007/09/heart-of-god.html
Monday, September 17, 2007. The Heart of God. Last week, three friends of mine prayed that God would provide them opportunities to serve him by serving other people. Within the week, God answered all three prayers. In each case, God answered in a way that was not orchestrated or initiated by the people involved. These examples seem to illustrate a very important concept that I find in Scripture: God cares about people. This is the heart of God. According to Jesus, we are distracted or hindered from lovin...
