Through a Glass, Darkly.
I don’t think that you can be disqualified. I do believe that you can be hobbled. I’m just saying that there is some line between a trial and a breaking. Almost like it’s amateur versus pro or something. I thought I was broken at 10. Turns out, there was way, way more behind curtain number… Continue reading

Get Saved, Get Real, or Get Out.
Many times over the years I have walked into a church building and felt uncomfortable. There was no single source that I could point at for what I was feeling, just that feeling of discomfort and the overwhelming desire to be out of there as soon as I could. I had a tough time putting… Continue reading

The Meekness Conspiracy Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5 One of the very best things to me about Scripture is it’s limitless depth. When you get to the point of presuming that you have mastered a section, scripture has a way of quickly humbling you. Take this single verse from the Beatitudes, it has been translated so improperly that it beggars belief. It’s seriously almost offensive, we have… Continue reading
