Have you ever thought about this question? We make statements like this because we can’t imagine having to live on this earth forever. We assume we would get bored and therefore want to move on from this earth to something, anything. But what if we could live forever. Isn’t that what Jesus offers us? Eternity? … More Who Wants To Live Forever?
Our church just finished a 30 day challenge we called 7 Minutes A Day. You can read the blog of how it works here. This was a challenge to spend at least 7 minutes of intentional time with God everyday and see how it changes us. Here are a few lessons I learned from my … More 7 Minutes A Day
My wife likes to rearrange the house. Every time she does we find things underneath the couch. Not just toys and things the kids slide under there and forget about. But I mean nasty stuff. The reason is because we don’t clean under there. No one sees it, so why bother. The only time it … More What’s Under Your Couch?
First of all, sorry it has been a while since I posted. I try to be pretty regular and post 2 to 3 times a week. Life got a little crazy and I got sick in between there. But I’m back now. A hectic life and getting sick has brought me to this post. Having … More The Business of Busyness

He says that John the Baptist points to his true identity. His works point to his true … More Life…Where Do We Find It?
God asks an interesting question of Adam and Eve in the garden. After they had eaten the fruit and chosen their own path, God asks them, “Where are you?” I don’t think God was playing hide-n-seek with them. I don’t think his question had anything to do with their physical location. Instead, he was asking … More Where Are You?
Below is a blog I wrote for our Church blog. Do you agree with these myths? Would you add any to them? For most of us, we search for things that are bigger than us. We search for those things that bring meaning to our life and rejuvenate our souls. For those of us … More Myths About The Spiritual Life
I have always found it interesting when God tells the people to stop whatever they are doing and asks them to build an altar. It makes me wonder “Why Altar’s?” It seems funny to me that God would want to look at a pile of rocks, as if He had nothing better to do. But … More Why Altar’s?
I have been thinking about what can happen in our suffering. Many times it is in our pain that we find ourselves, but even more importantly it is in our pain that God finds us. Notice I didn’t say “where we find God”. Not that we don’t find God in our pain. But all too … More Where The Spirit Enters
