Heaven minded or Eternally minded?

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

I took about a week off posting so I could reflect on the things that God keeps speaking into my heart. You know what most of them are–I’ve shared them here and here. It’s been an interesting journey, that’s for sure. Tonight the small group that I attend with girls from work got into a [...]

The Irresistible Revolution

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

God never ceases to amaze me. I started reading (and nearly finished) a book on the plane today that completely affirmed everything that I’ve been feeling recently. Take that, Satan! I feel a little silly that I allowed myself to get so discouraged. But you know, it happens. But I want to share with you [...]

I’m using my voice

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

I wrote an article recently and I ended up pretty discouraged as a result. My intended audience was people like myself: those who follow Christ. The response to the article only confirmed for me what I was intending to expose. In general, Christians have become complacent and comfortable with life the way it is. Christians [...]

NBC will not show Madonna on the cross

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

It looks like the AFA succeeded: NBC has edited out the portions of Madonna’s concert special in order to cut the scenes where she is singing while on a cross. Read my thoughts on Madonna’s mock crucifixion.

Judge Dismisses Charges Against Woman Who Killed Her Unborn Child

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

This story, about a woman who shot her stomach, killing her unborn child, on the morning she was to deliver (she was having contractions), makes me want to scream and rage and cry all at the same time. I want to hurt the judge. That may not be the most Christ-like attitude to have, but [...]

A Call to Christians

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

I am told that Christians do not love each other. I am very sorry if that be true, but I rather doubt it, for I suspect that those who do not love each other are not Christians. Charles Spurgeon I’ve spent a lot of time in recent months becoming more and more aware of how [...]

We Don’t Want to be the Church Anymore

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

I’m not really sure what God is doing in my life these days. He’s revealing all sorts of new things to me and putting things in my path that all affirm what I’ve been feeling the need to get across to Christians in this country–and across the world. I’m a regular reader of the Burnside [...]

Lack of posting

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

There won’t be any new posts until at least Tuesday of next week. My mom is flying in today and I get to spend four whole days with her. I’m so excited! We’re going to do the tourist-y thing while she’s here and just spend time together. I’ve seen her all of 6 hours since [...]
