Crossroads Pastor's Blog: July 2015
http://dkbailey.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Monday, July 20, 2015. Fears lose their power when we "give words to them." Fear can be a looming sense of nebulous dread. I find that virtually any fear of mine melts away, almost comically, when I put it into words. Even if the thing I dread comes true, it typically brings me no real harm. He puts my fears in their place. Monday, July 6, 2015. Fighting the Contempt of Familiarity. They say that familiarity breeds contempt. I know yo...

Crossroads Pastor's Blog: On Race and Repentance
http://dkbailey.blogspot.com/2015/06/on-race-and-repentance.html
Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Thursday, June 25, 2015. On Race and Repentance. We all think we are right. If I did not think I was right, I would change my position. Duh. But just because my answers make perfect sense to me doesn't mean that I am right. Maybe the problem is that I think I have it all figured out. I have been listening since the murders in the Charleston church last week. I have heard many different opinions about the meaning of the massacre. Reactions...

Crossroads Pastor's Blog: November 2014

Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Monday, November 24, 2014. Questioning Entertainment: Center on God. Our entertainment habits should help us become more like Christ. That's what it means to love God with all your mind. The scripture tells us that we need to Center on God, Connect in Relationship, and Change our World. (See John 15.). What is this (book, movie, TV show, video game, blog, etc.) doing to my soul? How is this helping me love God with all my mind? Thursday, ...

Crossroads Pastor's Blog: April 2015
http://dkbailey.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The Power of Confession. I have often noticed a distance from the Lord, like my relationship with him is just flat. As I am reading through Tim Keller's book on prayer, I obviously came across the importance of confession. Oh yeah. I need to do that. Not just because I am supposed to, but because I need the life that comes from openly, specifically agreeing with God about my sin. Confession brings life. Wow!

Crossroads Pastor's Blog: February 2015
http://dkbailey.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. So often after I preach a sermon, I realize that I left something out. Paul stops speaking and rushes down to the street, throws himself on the dead man, and announces that he's alive. Amazing news! Now, here's what I left out. The name Eutychus means "Fortunate." One wonders if that was his name all along, or maybe he got that nickname on his resurrection day. Either way, the name fits. Islam, Martyrs, and Us.

Crossroads Pastor's Blog: The Flow of Science
http://dkbailey.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-flow-of-science.html
Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. The Flow of Science. This universe is a mystery, all the way around. We humans have been trying to make sense of it through the ages. We wonder how it all began, and we wonder what it all means. Every person comes into life in a cultural context. Children learn from their elders as they work to understand this existence. Society’s traditions, mores, rules and expectations shape our thinking. This speck in space t...

Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Friday, August 29, 2014. Forgive Me for Praying. But God tells me over and over that life is all about relationship. He wants my relationship with him to deepen. He is much less concerned about my production. Jesus reminds us that the most important thing in life is to love God with all that we are. Dallas Willard says that ministry leaders should, above all, live a life of satisfaction. Monday, August 18, 2014. Troublemakers should not w...

Crossroads Pastor's Blog: December 2014
http://dkbailey.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Changing from the inside out. Center → Connect → Change the World. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Praying Like You Mean It. I like the Hardee’s fast food tag line, “Eat like you mean it.”. Why bother to taste and snack, leaving yourself hungry? That’s just going through the motions. If you eat like you mean it, you go for taste and expect to be filled up. I wonder if we pray like we mean it. We so often just go through the motions. But the picture of prayer in the Bible is much different. I guess that's jus...
