What to Give the God Who Has Everything

With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?

The Problem with “Letting Go and Letting God”

Tuesday Re-mix - Step 3: We make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God. [I am using these Tuesday Re-mixes for a few weeks to think (again) about addiction to self-reliance and how that addiction is one of the biggest challenges to genuine community which we face [...]

When Pastoral Authority Fades Away

This is what the Lord says: “As for the prophets     who lead my people astray,  they proclaim ‘peace’      if they have something to eat, but prepare to wage war against anyone     who refuses to feed them. 6 Therefore night will come over you, without visions,     and darkness, without divination.

Being One of the Cool Kids

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the Lord.  Isaiah 31:1 I pay $4.00 for a cup of Starbucks coffee, when I [...]

“Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath!”  Isaiah 10:5 I know I have joked (kind of) in previous posts about how theology watchdogs in the blogosphere (and in the church) are annoying in the same way as that teacher in high school who constantly corrected you

Your Calling to Do Hard Things

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”  And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  He said, “Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’  Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears

Beginnings…the Birth of an Addiction to Self-Reliance

Tuesday Re-mix - But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at.  People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” I Samuel 16:7 I am using these Tuesday Re-mixes for [..
