Thursday, May 29th, 2008

In Mark 1, after being inaugurated for ministry by the anointing of the Spirit at His baptism, and after receiving the blessing of His Father, Jesus is ‘driven’ into the wilderness to spend 40 days fasting and being tempted by the Enemy. What does this accomplish?

Choices and Routines

Sunday, April 17th, 2005

Folks in the Way,
It?s been a while since I last wrote you. Honestly, it?s because I?ve been too busy. I?m sorry about that. I?m sorry not only for the absence of letters, but primarily for the busyness. Busyness, I?m convinced, is a mild form of blasphemy.
