This past weekend I had 45 minutes to kill on Sunday afternoon before heading off to ensemble rehearsal in preparation for our community singing service. So what did I do? Well, being the time conscious person that I am, I could not bear the thought of just sitting for that 45 minutes so I decided [...]

I was waiting at a cash register recently and no one was there to check me out. I was in a hurry and had places I needed to be. Finally, the employee happened over and rang up my purchase. I have to confess that my frustration probably clouded my perception of that person – OK [...]
The Answer Lies at the Foot of the Cross
Posted in Formation on July 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I woke up this morning with this thought running through my mind. I kept asking the question, “What does living the Christian life look like in a purely practical sense.” Or put another way, if I say that I believe in Jesus and his teachings and have dedicated my life to follow him, then what [...]

There is an over-used, catchy saying that goes like this: ”People don’t care how much you know if they don’t know how much you care.” In other words, we can try and share the awesome news of Jesus’ love and freedom all we want with people but it won’t mean much if what we say [...]

Reaching Out – Bringing Them In
Posted in Church on July 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I have been thinking a lot lately about what a church should look like – how it should reach out and how it should disciple those within. I’ve been thinking about the balance between evangelism, ministry and discipleship. I am still working through my thoughts on all of this but one thing I know for [...]
Leave Me Alone Jesus
Posted in Formation on July 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I listen to a daily devotional podcast done by the Jesuit order. Most days are really good but today seemed to grab me more than normal. The passage was out of Matthew (read it here) – the story of Jesus casting the demons out of the demoniacs and into the swine. When the demoniacs first [...]
