Short Definition of the Kingdom of God
Where “On Earth as it is in Heaven” happens. I just wrote this in a BIble Study workbook to answer the question “What is the Kingdom of God?”
7 years of blogging!
I saw some stuff lately about blogging advice and how to craft your posts and how to phrase a catchy headline and I thought, “I’ve been blogging for a long time and not worried about that stuff!” … To all of you that have been around over the course of the last 7.5 years, thanks.
Reading through Philippians 3
I’m working through the Lifetime Guarantee study book with some guys at the Rescue Mission and I made this for myself to think about the things that Paul boasted in.
… I’m not sure what I think about this poplet business, but it helps me to breakdown these ancient boasts and think of them in more modern terms.
With vs. Like – The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit
As I read through the book of Acts and I’m working on my @iamstpaul project there is never any question that God is WITH Paul. (except for maybe when he’s getting stoned to death–but right after that there was no question!)

Global Leadership Summit 2011, Part 3: Brenda Salter McNeil
When you go among people that are so radically off from you culturally, it takes a lot of work to figure out what discipleship looks like in their culture. (personally I’m still trying to figure this out in American culture!)

Equal Connections of Preachers and Waiters
In Acts 6, there begins to be a controversy over dividing up the money to care for the widows. The Greek widows aren’t getting equal care to the Jewish widows. Acts 6:2 So the twelves called the whole group of the disciples together and said, “It is not right for us to neglect the word…
