“Leave on the next train.”

“We’re all done. We’ll clean up the classrooms tonight, and leave on the next train back to Chengdu.” With those words, I experienced something I had only read about. My junior year of college began as most semesters do—by catching up with friends. We talked about jobs, camps, adventures, and boys; you know, the usual … Continue reading “Leave on the next train.” →

My Praise

Not much creates rifts and divisions within a church like opinions over music. Contemporary or traditional? Band or no band? Hymns, contemporary songs, or psalms? Projector or hymnals? For each of these questions, I'm sure you have the "right" opinion. We feel quite strongly about our worship. No, let me rephrase that. We feel quite … Continue reading My Praise →

Dead and Hidden

“For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:3 Dead “For you have died.” This doesn’t exactly seem like good news. Who wants to read their own obituary? Of course, that’s not what he means. I’ll let Paul do his own clarifying by continuing in the context: “For it … Continue reading Dead and Hidden →

If you missed out on Part 1, be sure to check it out here! Pharaoh had the slaves … Continue reading The Storyline of Scripture: Limerick Style! (Part 2) →

L-O-V-E

It’s a word that carries great meaning, and at the same time has lost almost all meaning. We use it so frequently, that we don’t even realize that the myriad nuances we assign it have muddied it nearly to the point of obsolescence. I’m talking, of course, about the word love. In the same breath … Continue reading L-O-V-E →

Five Five-Star Books

I love to read, and while I don't want this to be a book-review blog, those who know me well know that I can't stop myself from talking about books I like. While not every book is for every reader, I'm confident that you will not be sorry you read any of these five books. … Continue reading Five Five-Star Books →

A Very Big Deal

It’s one of those stories that breaks my heart. I’m not talking about a Hallmark movie, Shakespearean tragedy, or tear-jerking human-interest news story. I’m talking about Moses being kept out of the Promised Land. You probably feel the same way. If you’ve made much progress it all in a yearly Bible reading plan, you’re familiar … Continue reading A Very Big Deal →
