When Jesus said, “You will always have the poor with you.” He was not giving an excuse or being overwhelmed. Many people read this like it’s Jesus’ commentary on how we should care for the poor. “Aware of this, Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing […]
Talking about Money
I did a bad thing by starting off my quiet time reading ‚ÄúThe ABC‚Äôs of Financial Freedom‚Äù this morning. It is a book on Christian Stewardship. It immediately put me into a critical mode when I read a few quotes: You and I should do some Christ-centered vision casting of our own and start thinking […]
Following the Unclear Blatant God
There is something about this discourse on bread that makes me not so much want to talk about bread and what the bread means or what it means to eat His flesh, but just about the more general idea of how Jesus taught. These parables almost put you to the point that you could know […]
Preach the Gospel in a Clearly Confusing Riddle
‚ÄúThen the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, ‚ÄúHow can this man give us his flesh to eat?‚Äù Jesus said to them, ‚ÄúI tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my […]
Jesus is Real Food
‚ÄúJesus said to them, ‚ÄúI tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real […]

Today I went to a funeral for a guy that I was friends with as a kid. He’s just a few months older than me and he died this past weekend of pneumonia and complications that came from the surgery to fix his pneumonia. One thing that struck me funny at the funeral was how […]
Jesus, the Thief King
So last night it was a cool night and I thought it would be good to open some windows and let some of the cool night air fill up our house. I went around and, since it was well after dark, opened each blind, pulled the window open a bit, and then closed the mini-blinds […]
I'm Telling You, Jesus Really Does Meet All of Our Needs!
‚ÄúWhoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me […]
When All Else Fails, Show Grace, and Grace Again
‚ÄúNo one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: ‚ÄòThey will all be taught by God.‚Äô Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. No one has seen the […]
Since I forgot to post yesterday…
I just realized that even though I read and thought and did stuff yesterday, I forgot to blog! So, for your viewing pleasure, dear reader, here is a link to the photo gallery of what the wind did yesterday in my park:
