the glorious but // note only one ‘t’
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3All of us also lived among them at [...]
The desert // and the oasis
In a random conversation with a friend the other, we began discussing the differences between the desert and the oasis. Here’s my take. Someone’s gonna call me crazy, but I’m not completely convinced that you can always tell an immediate difference when you’re on the inside of them, and here’s what I mean. They can [...]
relationships // a little help please
All Skate… I’m lasering my focus in on relationships both vertical and horizontal, meaning I want stuff that deals with my relationship upward and His relationship downward as well as my relationship outward, and everyone else’s relationship inward toward me. What’s the best advice you’ve heard on relationships as it applies to either of the [...]
Eleven Days // 40 years
This morning I read this on Lifechurch.tv‘s blog: “Normally, it takes only eleven days to travel from Mount Sinai to Kadesh-barnea…” (Deut. 1:2, NLT) I stopped right there.

These are the comments I heard today as [...]

tension // so strange
There’s nothing so lovely and so ugly as that weird place of tension that we must all sit in at some point or another where you long to be in the “place you know God has put on your heart” while at the same time you are in the place God has put on your [...]
Wow // how does that land on you
The book of the week is Andy Stanley’s “The Principle of the Path.” Its amazing, but more on that when I finish it. For the moment, this is the quote that I read this morning that made me say, “Dang. that’s strong,” and also, “that’s seriously convicting to me personally,” and also, “I hope a [...]

Continuing the Conversation // comment
Josh Agerton commented on a post that I did yesterday about being in the world, but looking different. He basically said, “think about these two statements, they’re very different aren’t they.” So I’m wondering, what do you think of the following statements. Do they seem different to you? How do they affect you? Be in [...]
