Reading the Books
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006You may have noticed lately the lack of book reviews on here. There's a reason for this, and that reason is that I haven't read many books lately.
I really do feel like I want to read some new, exciting, make-you-think sort of books. But I've noticed a problem. The problem is that I tend to read […]
Public Prayer of Confession
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006From Bob Kauflin:
Holy and righteous God, we confess that like Isaiah, we are a people of unclean lips. But it is not only unclean lips we possess. We are people with unclean hands and unclean hearts. We have broken your law times without number, and are guilty of pride, unbelief, self-centeredness and idolatry. Affect our […]
Children of Men
Monday, August 21st, 2006I want to see this movie. Comes out Christmas Day this year.
Children of Men envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006We've been talking recently about standing in awe of God — showing proper respect for the great Other, the one we do not fully understand or can not wrap our minds all the way around. I thought this verse I ran across this morning touched that somewhat.
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory […]
The Dishonest Manager, Part 2
Friday, August 11th, 2006See The Dishonest Manager

The Dishonest Manager
Monday, August 7th, 2006This parable (in Luke 16) really didn't make much sense to me, so I had to think about it for a while. In fact, take a read yourself, and put in comments about your thoughts (even if they are simply confused thoughts, like mine). In a few days, I'll put down what I've learned from […]

Downhere: The Real Jesus
Tuesday, August 1st, 2006Jesus is a popular word in our language and culture. I'm not saying that the true Jesus is popular, but there is so much confusion about who He actually is, and this song really captures that. Read along, or even better, go listen to the song yourself!
