We Belong

“[Y]ou are mine.” – Isaiah 43:1 We have in us a desire to belong. We want to be part of something, to know we have meaning apart from ourselves. We might assert our independence from any number of things — from authority, from the demands of another, from tyranny — but the need for belonging [...]
Selfless Beauty
Posted in Religion, Thoughts on God on October 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Beauty is a theme that surfaces regularly in my writings. I can’t pinpoint when I first realized how much I needed beauty in my life, but I’m sure when I made the connection, my walk with Christ radically changed from being a do-your-best-to-please-Him endeavor to a sit-at-His-feet-in-awe experience. At some point, my eyes opened up [...]
In the Seat of His Will

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me” – Psalm 23:4 The ocean laid open before me, and I wanted a place where I could sit and watch the waves up close. I found a spot near the edge of a [...]
A Curious Progression

I noticed a curious progression in Romans 5:3-5 this morning. Here’s Romans 5:1-8 for context: 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in [...]
Freedom From Fear

“He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives . . . .” – Luke 4:18 (ESV) Jesus spoke these words in describing his mission on earth. Does his mission have anything to do with you? If we think of captivity in the literal sense, perhaps not. Not many of us could say we [...]
Mirror, Mirror

Soon after my fiancee and I first met and started learning about each other, we realized we share so much in common that it’s uncanny. I’m not just talking about movies we like or favorite foods. We discovered that our thought processes are extremely similar, as are our value systems and our areas of weakness. [...]
The Grudge is Gone
Posted in Religion, Thoughts on God, tagged God, original sin, sin on October 7, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My reading this morning from Utmost For His Highest explained that sin is a fundamental relationship; it is not wrong doing, but wrong being. This opened up my eyes to sin in a whole new way. We often say that Christianity is relational and so it is. Faith in Christ is about restoring a relationship [...]
Sharing in Suffering

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 There’s the old saying that [...]
