weeping over // scripture
Thinking this morning about a story that Rusty shared on Sunday of an experience he had while in seminary. The short of the story is that in the weariness of doing good, when he was at his end and ready to give up, he was pressed deeper into his work by the tears of a [...]
Jesus // verus everyone else
Set up: This is speaking to me (and other people) but directed at no one, I’m just highly convicted about what I’m about to write. I was reading this morning a popular author and getting all excited when I thought to myself: Why is it that people get all jacked up about what a modern [...]
in love // in love with in love
Some of you know exactly what I’m talking about. Some people are in love with one another. They cherish all the quirkiness of the person they are in love with. They cherish the beauty of the person they are in love with. Every word or action or gesture creates a deeper emotion. There is a [...]
doing life together // or not
So this is intended to be more interactive than the last few posts. The current ‘small group’ of people that Kristen and I have been involved with has taught us much about ‘doing life with people.’ That’s a phrase we toss out there that is very vague on purpose. But genuinely, it gives us some [...]
rebuilders // restorers
Two weeks ago, Cornerstone was privileged to have Matt Dean bring a message that God had been preparing on his heart for at least year. Matt knew that God was at work teaching him new things and growing him, but unaware at how that message would fit into the sermon series we would be going [...]
Nehemiah 5 // justice
This could be an incredibly long post, so I’ll attempt to make it short. This morning I was given the privilege to speak at Cornerstone. (On a side note: In the past I’ve occasionally joked that I get the “not many people will be here today, so if Brian says something crazy it shouldn’t be [...]
justice // righteousness
The pursuit of justice in the world is the pursuit of righteousness. What do you think?
in the // now moment
Writing is one of the best ways to really get your thoughts out. There’s something about it that brings clarity to a situation or a story that you are trying to convey. Desiring God Ministries put out a little journal a few years ago, of which I bought many. The inside front jacket says: Writing [...]
Lake Victoria // a sunrise
Its very difficult to convey in words the beauty of a sunrise in Uganda coming up over Lake Victoria. I was privileged to see several while our team was there just a few weeks ago. One morning I set up the camera and hit record. This video does about as good of a job as [...]
social justice // thoughts
What do you think of when you hear ‘social justice?’ I’ve been doing some research on it and it seems that the definition is very loose and even mentioning this phrase will get you tagged. So, I’m wondering if that’s just the media or if people’s thoughts are really as varied as it seems. Liberal? [...]
