A Tough Question answered well

The subject of homosexuality is one that most of us have a conviction about but one that many of us have a difficult time articulating.  The church has been made to look intolerant and judgmental toward homosexuals.  Below is a clip of Ravi Zacharias speaking to the issue with great clarity and compassion.  Both are […]

PILGRIM’S PROGRESS

It’s time for a classic of Biblical proportions.  

The Pilgrim’s Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come by John Bunyan (published February, 1678) is a Christian allegory. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of English literature, has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been […]

BOOK STUDY: Potluck

As the book study is approaching the end it’s time to get everyone together “face to face” and share a meal.

The dialogue for a get together began in the comment section of the last chapter and I think it would be good to communicate with each other and wrap the plans up here in a […]

Crossroads Together

What a great day and what a great church to be a part of.  I never cease to be amazed at the goodness of God and the people that He has assembled to make up the body of Christ at this church on the corner of Wolf & 49.  

Sunday was beautiful.  Beautiful to worship […]

Tim Keller - In Review

To wrap up our book study and put a period at the end of this series I thought I would post again a video of Tim Keller .  The linked video is of Keller lecturing at Google’s Mountain View campus in California.  The video is an hour long and once again highlights Tim’s ability to speak […]

EPILOGUE: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

Our first online book study is coming to a close and it’s been great.  The book concludes on the high note of the need for a reaction to the message of the gospel - - repentance, faith (trust), community (church).  I love the reference to “the mystery of faith” toward the end.  But of course the topper […]

Cinderella

Today I cried.  I cried out loud like a baby actually, while driving.

I was listening to the radio at the 10:00 hour in the AM.  It was the Dobson show and his guest was singer songwriter Steven Curtis chapman.  For those unaware Steven suffered the loss of his precious and adopted five year old girl […]

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: The Dance of God

So… we are nearing the end of our book study.  It’s been a great ride in my estimation.  No matter your opinion of the book as a whole, there have been great moments for us all.  Moments of revelation, moments of disagreement, moments of frustration, and ‘ah ha!’ moments.  We’ve sharpened our minds and been […]

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: The Reality of the Resurrection

This chapter gets to the crux of the matter when it comes to the validity of everything we believe and everything we have discussed so far in twelve chapters.  If Christ is risen from the dead then we have hope.  If Christ is not risen then we do not.

This last week while in Austria, Sharon […]

Austria: DAYS FOUR & FIVE

I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures from day four, my camera batteries died and the rechargeable back ups I have were dead as well.  They’re all recharged now and I hope to get some more shots tomorrow.

The highlight of the day was getting to hear Damien Kyle speak in the morning.  He spoke from […]
