Soul Power is a definitive groove from the James Brown era. Most people play it too fast (I probably did too), but when it simmers, there’s nothing…

Even Deeper
Ok, so I keep reading in the Christian devotional book mentioned in my earlier post, and, to my delight, Steven Grose has more to say about our indebtedness to the lost.
He makes the distinction between the “Greeks” and “barbarians” to whom Paul feels indebted to share the gospel. He observes that the term “Greek” had lost its racial significance by this...
Proverbs 31 2K1 →
This link is a remarkable twist on the egalitarian and feminist interpretations of Proverbs 31. This feels like the right way to reconcile this passage with the rest of the Bible.

Deep in Debt
I recently read a small article out of a Christian “Chicken Soup for the Soul” kind of devotional. This kind of book is usually a mixed bag…take the good, leave the rest. Today, I came across one entitled “A Debtor,” by Steven Grose, from New South Wales and I can’t shake it.
My first instinct is to reject the concept of “debt” to God because it...
True Worship
I just had a conversation with my oldest daughter, Meredith, that started with her question, “if God wants us to worship him, why did Jesus come to serve us, not for us to serve him?” Any one want to take that one on? :)
Meredith is a very perceptive and soulful little girl. Her waters run very deep, and I love it. Anyway, we looked for some scriptures that might help. First, we...

Savoring God
My eating is one of the areas that God has yet to transform. I love junk food and eat it every chance I get. God is convicting me with the analogy of how eating junk food is a picture of being satisfied with anything other than him.
For example, I don’t have the experience of actually “savoring” a cheeseburger and fries…it is more like an addict feeding a craving. I...

This is getting insidious. Feels a lot like religious indoctrination to me.
Hope for broken hearts.
I just watched videos from Hope Center Honduras, where a college buddy runs an orphanage for 16 or so little kids with his wife and 2 little daughters. I’m sitting here weeping at the things the things that are hitting me in waves:
The first thing I noticed was his beautiful wife, rather than the little children and the work they are doing.
These are orphans, with no other family than...

Pain
Another comment written in response to a post of Abraham Piper.
3 things come to mind when i think about the pain of the universe:
1. I forget that, for the Christian, this earthly life is merely a vapor compared to the eternity that is to come. And the best part is that all pain, all fear, all heartache will be forgotten, much like a mothers body produces Oxytocin to allow her to “forget” the...

Art Reform
In response to Abraham Piper’s question, Why do so few artists believe what I believe?
What I see in the church is a growing pragmatism toward things that “work” and away from expressions that glorify God but have no immediately discernible, quantitative value, and which may fall outside of the 4 or 5 songs we call “worship”, preceding the sermon. Also, I perceive (as a musician) a sense...
The Back of God
When Moses saw the back of God (Ex 33) it was God’s introduction to Moses…a validation of His trust in him to lead the Israelites. The end of Exodus 33 is God saying, “I know your name, now let me tell you mine: THE LORD.” but Moses couldn’t see the full glory of God, so we only saw His back…the full glory was terrifying and probably fatal. Interestingly, the...
Atonement
Heading into the Day of Atonement, I have been reflecting on my own sin: judgementalism, pride, selfishness, lust, envy, laziness…
It is awful and I am disgusted by it. It really bummed me out last night—and on top of it all, I had to pay $47 for a video I lost from the library :( I was just feeling the weight of it, and at that, not even the full weight. Only Jesus felt that.

The Den of Robbers
When Jesus overturned the money changers’ tables, He said, “My House will be a house of prayer. You have made it a den of robbers!”
What would be the analogy today, when the temple resides in us? Is there anything He would overturn in me?
Do I carry the same passion for the purity of His house?
God, please create in me a pure heart, that I may worship You.

Authority
I have written before about the authority of scripture and its absence from the Emergent Church movement. I want to clarify what I mean.
When I say “authority,” I am not talking about a single “correct” interpretation (because there are some issues that will never be locked down), but rather the direction in which meaning flows. Authority means that scripture has...
The Weight of Sin
I heard an interview with a call-girl on the radio today. She talked about her profession being “empowering” for women and an overall positive lifestyle (although she scoffed at the question of whether her son knew what she did). She is a PhD in Psychology and is writing a book about her experiences.
The conversation absolutely broke my heart…in two ways:
1. That someone...
The Conversation
We hear a lot about the idea of “the conversation” which seems to be a tenet of the Emergent Church (if they had such a thing as a tenet). Everything is open to discussion, debate, alternative interpretation, and it’s “the conversation” that’s the good part of that.
I heard a talk given by Doug Pagitt, pastor of Solomon’s Porch church and a gifted...

Good Friends, Networked →
Re-connected with one of my best friends,
Gyle Smith (hi, if you’re reading this), and realized the
potential of all this social networking stuff. Outside of our
annual phone call, we don’t really have a chance to keep in touch.
Now, maybe we should make the effort more deliberately, but I know
we both sit in front of computers for a good part of the day…why
not take advantage.
