i am attempting to spend a few months just reading and re-reading through the Gospels, hoping to hear from the Father for some direction. i must be honest, there are so many times that i think that i am on the wrong path, with all my focus on grace and forgiveness. yes, i feel accepted by the Father and embraced by His … More Reprimand or Coddle…day 155
Out of the tumultuous roaring and hysteria filling the sanctuary of the Church of the Paraclete, Jesus stands unmoved. He raises His hands and commands, “Be still!” And just as the wind and waves ceased, so did the crowd. The people begin to move slowing back to their seats without talking. After a few minutes everyone is … More Jesus Visits the Church pt2
The air was thick and hot, even though it was only 10:00 AM. The parking lot of First Church of the Paraclete was filled with Lexus and BMW, the light of the sun sparkling off the chrome and glass. Church today packed to capacity with believers, doubters, unbelievers and the uber-religious. The praise team just finished singing through “Let the River Flow” … More Day 137…Jesus visits the church
i have heard over and over that as a christian we need to have a balance in how we see and live out our faith. this is particularly true when it comes to talking about the grace of God. if balance is the message of christianity, then there is nothing unique about the gospel, all religions say that there is … More THE BALANCE? DAY 130
It has taken me a few attempts to try to figure out how to say what i want to say here. i am not sure whether or not it will be understood and i am just trying to be sensitive (ok…not really), but i have had a time organizing my thoughts on this topic. i mentioned in my last post … More day 118
so yes, it has been a while since i visited to update…and a lot has transpired in that time. a lot! i am not sure where to go here. there are a couple of things that i want to talk about but they are both rattling around in my head at the same time. let me start with my pet peeve of the … More Day 115 or there about…
The more i think about “church” the more detached i feel. i guess that is not a good thing. but there exists such a dichotomy that i do not know if there ever can be an integration. these are the issues for the average american evangelical church… rabid patriotism, abortion, prayer/bible reading in school, homosexual agenda in general, gay marriage … More day 65…
since my last post i sort of came to a place where i was beginning to feel very indifferent toward the church and toward people in the church. my passion, my desire to see something new hit a wall. i started to think there is no point to continuing on this journey, it may just … More Day 63….continuing on the journey
When you “get saved” you are immediately told that you are a “new creation” and that all the old had gone and the new has replaced it. The euphoria that one initially feels seems to confirm that, and you feel free and sinless and pure and without burden, kind of like a “back pain” sufferer … More The 53rd Day of the journey
As i continue on the road…a road that is mostly hidden and not well-defined, i experience moments of despair, flashes of hopeless, and a great deal of loneliness. Tonight i went to the fall concert at my daughters school. It was there that i started to think. The first thought i had came to mind as … More Day 52 on the journey
