Uganda // A Day of Worship
Worshiping in Uganda is without a doubt one of the best parts about coming to visit our friends here. When Sunday has arrived, you know it. The expectation of going to celebrate with other believers is palpable. There is a reverence about the day, but also a willingness to worship unashamedly in Spirit and truth. [...]
missional living // part the fourth
In actuality, I think there is only one answer to “why more people don’t live missionally,” but we’ll get to that later. Here’s an idea I’m kicking around right now about the reason why. Bear with me: In Exodus, God leads the people out of Egypt. As they journey in the wilderness, on day one, [...]
The Problem // silence
The problem is that I just spent an entire week sitting on a beach reading a whole lot of information by some amazing thinkers and communicators which conjured up much in my brain and my spirit that presently make it difficult to know where to start in the regurgitation process. The next step will be [...]
Communion // response desired
Randomly just wondering what you think about communion. How does your church experience communion together? What makes it special for you? Do you think you see it differently than most? Why? All skate…communion.
Yesterday // putting on love
So I had the opportunity to speak as part of the mini-series in our super-series, “Alive.” Those opportunities are humbling to me and also amazing. I really enjoy speaking but don’t get to do it much. It also affords me the chance to stand and sing with Kristen which doesn’t happen much. Anyway. Worship was [...]
Cosumers // I need, I need, I need
Just sitting here thinking about how many times I heard or read this yesterday, “I need this…to worship,” “give me…and I can worship,” “if only I had…then I could really worship,” “I can’t worship if…” I was saddened and somewhat frustrated by this. Why can we not kill this consumer mentality that makes people think [...]
music // play us a song…you’re the kazoo man?
All skate… What’s a song you’re worshiping with right now that just absolutely brings you to a good place? Go…
The Way of the Cross // what I will wrestle with today
The reader for today: The way of the cross is too difficult and drifting into the wide road is too easy…in Lent we hear agin the story of our salvation, the great acts of God, looking particularly to the cross. Are we burdened like this? I was just talking yesterday with Rusty saying that we [...]
Fasting for the World to See // irony at it’s finest other than gossip
So I’ve noticed a couple of high profile/high traffic bloggers (who have been a part of what’s been shaping who I am over the past year or so) who have decided to give up all their online community for Lent. That is, they are not going to blog, facebook, or twitter. I’ve also noticed that [...]
An Emotional Morning // the state of my spirit on a random Tuesday morning
I went to bed a moron last night. Kristen and I were frustrated with each other over something that has no eternal value and was smaller than an atom. Therefore, I woke up frustrated because I got frustrated and wished I was a better husband. What an awkward place to be. That’s where I was [...]
