Prodigal's Walk: "Top Down" or "Bottom Up"?
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2012/05/top-down-or-bottom-up.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Top Down" or "Bottom Up"? The more I learn about Compassion International's mission and philosophies the more I'm convinced that I've made the right move partnering with them. And one thing I heard on a training video that really stuck me was this statement: "Compassion believes that rarely do changed circumstances changes hearts, but changed hearts nearly always change circumstances." Eureka, thought I! But for every positive in this situation the negatives are legion. End the en...

Prodigal's Walk: Blessings Falling Like Rain
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2012/05/blessings-falling-like-rain.html
Saturday, May 19, 2012. Blessings Falling Like Rain. There is joy in my heart today! Well, wouldn't you know that our awesome God would show up right on time! During my extended absence following the surgery my wonderful friends at work began working on a few fund raising projects on my behalf, and last week when I returned I found that they'd designed a T-Shirt which reads: I Wear (Blue Awareness Ribbon) for Chip - Colon Cancer Awareness, took orders, and sold to date over 100 of them! I mean, WOW!

Prodigal's Walk: Right before our eyes
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2014/04/romans-120-for-since-creation-of-world.html
Monday, April 14, 2014. Right before our eyes. When I consider Your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained. What is man that You are mindful of him. And the son of man that you visit him? Here at last was an explanation that would allow me to abandon the last nagging vestiges of my Christian upbringing. Now I could simply indulge my flesh without guilt or fear. I embraced the theory with joy as it brought me liberation. Or so I thought. Eyes I find it amazing t...

Prodigal's Walk: Finding Solice in Romans 8
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2012/08/finding-solice-in-romans-8.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. Finding Solice in Romans 8. Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus. I left my last post there for a while, and, indeed, I still struggle daily as we all will. But I'm finding great peace and comfort in Paul's words from Roman 8 - perhaps the most poetic declaration of God's grace to those of us who believe. It's beautiful writing, and one of my most treasured passages in all of the Bible. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Full Circle Jesus Music.

Prodigal's Walk: Peace In The Eye Of The Storm
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2012/03/peace-in-eye-of-storm.html
Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Peace In The Eye Of The Storm. I should be terrified. My entire life I've trembled at the idea of having Cancer. Cancer and car crashes - the two deaths I lived in fear of all along. Yet, the moment day before yesterday when my gastroenterologist delivered the diagnosis of Colon Cancer didn't send me cowering into a corner. I'm just in awe! When I needed Him most He came through. There was my opportunity to tell him again. If you're reading this I'd. Appreciate your prayers as ...

Prodigal's Walk: CAUTION: Christianity
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2011/12/never-any-subsitution-for-truth.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. This post is very different from my usual Prodigal's Walk fare. First it's not at all about the struggle to walk upright with our Savior. And it takes me, for the first time here on these pages, into politics and political philosophy. I've studiously avoided this, but, still, today's topic is very relevant to Christians. Your Humble Blogger. I was disturbed last week when I read that an atheist group in Santa Monica, California appears to have managed to manipulate circumstances.

Prodigal's Walk: Staying "On The Wall"
http://chipowens.blogspot.com/2012/04/staying-on-wall.html
Monday, April 23, 2012. Staying "On The Wall". And I'll admit that this was a blow - at first. I was so jazzed in the morning when I was hurrying around setting up the display and coordinating the photos and videos with the tech team (my pastor! The day promised great things, and I've been feeling very strongly about my advocacy with Compassion. So I really expected God to send at least a few takers, if not twenty, my way. But, nada. The difference between being saved. I prayed beforehand and turned the ...
