Going to the Gentiles
I go to the Gentiles… What does that mean? Simply this, I no longer feel compelled to try and teach, train or change the established church. Someone told me a long time ago that it is easier to give birth than to raise the dead and they were right, of course. It is easier to… Continue reading

Worship: Singing Your Lies.
This is not a simple thing, getting simple. Much of what we do is rooted in our identity as 21st century beings and it is very difficult to shed those thought processes.

Provision and Protection
When you watch 4-5 year old kids funnel into an alley all day in Chicago to pay $1 to dip a rag in Talley thinner, credit scores don’t matter as much. When a little girl that snuck into the kitchen every day for a special snack from you is abducted and sold as a sex… Continue reading
