A while back, I posted this video. I love it. It moves me everytime I hear it. I’m reposting it because I finally got around to typing out the full monologue - no matter how many times I googled it, I couldn’t find it anywhere. So here’s the video and the monologue.
I am a woman. […]

Brian Orme talks about the difference between the outside Jesus and the inside Jesus - and why we need to get back to the outside.
There are two aspects of Jesus’ life and mission: His inside ministry and his outside ministry. His inside ministry was focused on his life with the disciples, those close to him, […]

Most of you know that I’m just coming out of the throes of a crisis of faith (short lived as it was). One of the things I realized during this time was that it wasn’t God I was trying to turn my back on (though it seemed it would be much simpler to do so)–it […]
Posted in Daily Reading, Jesus, Philippians on May 23rd, 2007
Today I read Philippians. This book is more about Paul than anything else. In reading it today, I was struck with the thought that Paul was, perhaps, a bit prideful. I don’t know that for sure, and I feel like I shouldn’t be saying that about the man who wrote the majority of the new […]

Interrogate the Legalist Within:
Pause for a moment and remember.
Remember where you were, and what it was like … that moment when you understood the cross for the first time … when you really grasped what happened at Calvary, and what it truly means that Christ died for your sins, what it truly means to […]

…including the insane horrible ignorant people from Westboro Baptist Church. If you can stomach it…they’ve done a music video. Yes, you read that right…a music video for a song called “God Hates the World.” (HT: Zach)
Uh….no.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall […]

The current issue of Newsweek has an interesting debate between Sam Harris and Rick Warren. I’m not going to go into detail about the arguments between the two, but I do want to highlight Rick’s final thoughts.
I believe in both faith and reason. The more we learn about God, the more we understand how magnificent […]

Something about my faith (the noun, not the verb) grows everytime I read new articles from the Burnside Writer’s Collective. This time it’s an article about Hispanic services at church. Jeff wrote the article in response to a friend who remarked that churches with Hispanic services support illegal aliens.
Before I proceed, I want to admit […]
