Life Is Precious
I sat near the pool for 30 minutes. I took a few deep breaths and could feel my body settle into a comfortable space. Meditation music played softly so I could keep time without having to look at the clock. The sounds of nature were much louder than the music, so the music helped me…

Book & Post: Mary Magdalene…
The more I study Mary Magdalene, I see her as a committed disciple even in very trying circumstances. Was it love for her Lord that caused her to stay throughout the crucifixion and burial? Or did she know something the others did not? I believe it could be both. Love begets love and the love…

Liminal Space
Liminal Space…this is my new phrase. It is liberating, it is deep, and it’s a real ‘thing!’ Liminal Space defines the space between ‘what was’ and ‘what’s next.’ The place where transition and transformation take place. The place where we grow even when it’s painful. The place many people seek to quickly leave, but should…

Worship is Powerful – It Frees Us!
Psalm 81 NLT 1 Sing praises to God, our strength. Sing to the God of Jacob. 2 Sing! Beat the tambourine. Play the sweet lyre and the harp. 3 Blow the ram’s horn… 4 For this is required… 5 He made it a law for Israel when he attacked Egypt to set us free. I…

Church Outside The Walls
Last night in Peru we experienced church outside the walls. Santa Rosa was the community near Chincha. As Christians we seek for a ‘place of worship’ but these folks worship where they are! We literally had service in the middle of the street. There were women, children, youth, and men. I preached! ‘Dig through the…

It’s the Simple Things
Hospitality – have you really ever thought about it? The definition is: the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers. Guests, Visitors, or Strangers…are the ones we are to be hospitable to! I’m reading a book now titled Stranger God by Richard Beck and he really challenges his readers about moral…

Where have you seen Jesus today?
Jesus shows up everywhere, but most of the time we miss him in the moments he wants us to notice most. Last week I was at a swim meet. Several times I witnessed great compassion and encouragement from the spectators and coaches alike. One swimmer had only the courage to swim half way down the…

Sabbath
I am convinced that Sabbath is a gift from God. He strategically rested at the end of creation to give us a pattern. Its part of the rhythm he created in the very beginning. Is Christ our Sabbath? Absolutely! And its in him that we are able to daily refuel. However, a 24 period (as…

Sacrifice
When you begin to help people it may seem like a sacrifice at first but at some point you begin to realize that it really isn’t a sacrifice much as it is a blessing. Blessings come in various forms and when God’s love is the driving force behind your motivation and sacrifice it will pay…
