A few pieces of my life, my love for music, my family, my writing, football and my emerging spirituality:. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. In recent years there has been much attention paid to the Ten Commandments because of all the media hype around public displays of these tenets of the Jewish and Christian faiths. My study of Scripture has led me to the conclusion that there is but one remaining commandment. After Moses assembled all of Israel and read to them the Ten Commandments [1]. 6]John 13:34, 15:12; 1 J...

Do your work not-so-well; get paid not-so-well. We would typically call that a loss of wages, but in reality, the wages of not-so-well done work are lack, worry and stress. Wages are not lost. They are fairly distributed according to the quality of work donein a perfect world, that is. I came to this revelation over time, but finally jo...

A few pieces of my life, my love for music, my family, my writing, football and my emerging spirituality:. Tuesday, October 18, 2005. Recently, I've been pondering the Lazarus story and how his story is really our story. The way I see it, we've all been called out from death to life by the Good Shepherd. But what still tangles and trips us are the filthy linens of burial. Even though we've heard His call and come out of the tomb, we're still dragging death around with us. Jesus calls us to. Who are you u...

A few pieces of my life, my love for music, my family, my writing, football and my emerging spirituality:. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Welcome To the Show. This morning as I lay in bed, I began thinking about how differently my faith expresses itself these days. Whereas I once thought that faith had to be expressed with great fanfare and exuberance, I know see that for what it wasa show. Didn’t Jesus warn that the rocks would cry out if I kept silent? My point is, love has to be demonstratedjust not in t...

My prayer journal and my blog are sitting untouched for several days. What have I been so busy doing? Well, for one, I've been building a fence in my backyard for our new puppy, Zack. And I've been fighting a sinus infection, which I think is finally clearing up. No pictures of that, sorry. So that's my blog for this week, for blogging's sake!

A few pieces of my life, my love for music, my family, my writing, football and my emerging spirituality:. Thursday, September 08, 2005. Are you a student of the Shepherd? We also see this theme repeated in 1 John 3-4. Here is an excerpt from the Good News about the Shepherd:. This is the message you heard from the beginning:. We should love one. Have passed from death to life, because we love. Anyone who does not love remains. Brother in need but has no pity on him,. The love of God be. What are your di...

A few pieces of my life, my love for music, my family, my writing, football and my emerging spirituality:. Thursday, April 28, 2005. Communal, Not Individual. Do you see this relationship- this thing we call Christianity- as a one-dimensional, individualistic pursuit of "better? To echo this sentiment about becoming perfect or complete Christians, I turn to the book of Hebrews. The great Old Testament saints "were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. Go...Again...

A few pieces of my life, my love for music, my family, my writing, football and my emerging spirituality:. Friday, January 13, 2006. Elucidation #2 Perceiving God. The second idea that I’ve been deconstructing over the last year is my concept of who God is. Who is I AM? Could He possibly be contained in an ark made of wood with gold overlayment? What about in my finite, human mind? One thing that becomes more and more apparent to me is that the Scriptures were written by human beings, with limited unders...

My Thanksgiving holiday was spent mostly on the road. My parents and siblings live in Central Indiana, so I loaded up the family truckster and travelled 800 miles with my wife and daughters to go see them. It was a long trip, as I travelled 14 hours straight through the night on Wednesday. Did I say LONG? Posted by Chris at 11/28/2005.

Disclaimer: Pay no attention to my last two posts on grace and humilityyou’ll find little in this one.). Okay, I know it’s the week before Christmas, but my Grinchiness is stirring! Here are my random gripes:. I’m not one for cluttering my vehicle with stickers, but here’s one I’d like to make into a banner that unfurls from the rear spoiler of my SUV:. If God is Love.
