I’ve been a professing disciple of Jesus for about 20 years. Prior to meeting Jesus personally, I had seen an Anglican version of Him. It was a ritualistic cookie cutter machine of religious gymnastics. I realized I didn’t have what it took to become good at this sport so I left. When I really met Jesus it was through a…

Manna: What is it? It is this.
UPDATE: I’ve included a response from a friend to this post in the body of the post below under these neato little == markings, removing some personal identifying items. ========================= I could feel the heavy burden on my back when I woke up. It was also on my chest. I could also feel it pushing on my temples (both sides). …
The Race to Convergence: Or is it a Marathon?
This article started out kind of exciting. It explained how Ubuntu was about to show, on a large commercial scale the unveiling of convergence of multiple devices. For those who don’t know what convergence is, it’s the ability for multiple devices to converge into one user experience – without the need for multiple processors and hard drives. For a company…
How to be in, but not of the world.
I know. It sounded like I was going to provide a step by step tutorial about how to both live in the world and yet live in God’s kingdom. Sadly, I’m just not that spiritual yet. However, I do enjoy slamming out blogs of things that I’m working through in my own life. This week, I encountered and interesting situation. …
Proof of God’s Presence: Transformation
Perhaps one of the things that has grieved me the most over the years is a reality I have seen in the Body of Christ – something of which both myself and my wife were guilty as charged. This something seems to be everywhere now that I ask around and now that I’m actively looking. The reason it is so…
Freedom from the Annoyance of Time
Ever felt you can’t focus on someone or something because something is scheduled? In my case, I was trying to focus on God Almighty and I kept becoming aware that I only had a half an hour before I had to start getting ready for work. That ain’t natural, and that ain’t the way it’s supposed to be. So I…
Should Unbelievers Join Believers in Worship?
Frankly, this topic is a tough one which has recently occupied much of my thoughts. The two conflicting issues are as follows: Does the presence of an unbeliever during times of fellowship hinder the power and holiness of God (a kind of quenching)? Do we remain totally open and let any polite person sit in our midst regardless of their…
The Most Relevant Documentary of Our Age
I’ve seen a lot of documentaries, a lot of conspiracies, a lot of interesting things. Nothing comes close to the importance and relevance of this one.
Is the Current Christian Church Biblical?
As I trudge along my spiritual journey to meet Truth Himself (Jesus is Truth)(remember that famous scene when Pontias Pilate said ‘What is truth?”) I have now come to what I used to think was small potatoes – the church. I always used to view ‘the church’ as a kind of vehicle that helps you get to heaven – kind…
How and Why to Start a Church
I decided to blog parts of an email I just sent to my wife. When I email my wife, by the way, the idea is that she can take time to digest what’s going on inside of me and it allows me time to compose my thoughts instead of blurting them in her face with my nasty style. Without further…
