Thursday, December 29th, 2005If you could do it, I suppose, it would be a good idea to live your life in a straight line–starting, say, in the Dark Wood of Error, and proceeding by logical steps through Hell and Purgatory and into Heaven. Or you could take the King's Highway past appropriately named dangers, toils, and snares, and […]
Finding the North Star
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005I think Jesus leads different people to different places. I think Jesus has a different purpose for everyone, and a different contribution to His kingdom. For the sake of argument, let's call that mission –that contribution — a person's North Star. I didn't coin the term myself. It came from here.
My North Star is […]

Shaun Groves - White Flag
Tuesday, December 27th, 2005Ok, I've got several CDs laying around to review, so I'd better get started!

Jesus: Luther on God in the Manger
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005A great Christmas-time quote:
If you will have joy, bend yourself down to this place. There you will find that boy given for you who is your Creator lying in a manger. I will stay with that boy as he sucks, is washed, and dies…. There is no joy but in this boy. Take him away […]
Everyonce email troubles
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005I've been running into a few issues with the emails getting sent out — I'll be working on it soon, but until then, you'll have to check the site for new posts — sorry!
Gregory on the Cost of the Kingdom
Monday, December 19th, 2005The real value of that is beyond price, but for you the price is just what you possess. For Zacchaeus it was worth half his fortune, since he kept the other half to restore fourfold whatever he had unjustly extorted. For Peter and Andrew it was worth the value of their nets and boat; for […]
