I Saw This Article about Sin
If you remember from the past, I wrote a series on Grace and Guilt. Here is a post from College Ministry Thoughts: Shame/guilt and conviction are not equals. In fact they couldn’t be more opposite. They stem from different “sources” and lead us to two completely different places. This fits in with what I was [...]
30 Years Later, What’s Different with this Generation.
From: Best Education Degrees I saw this and wondered about the differences, since I was 16 turning 17 in 1982. Where is this generation at? I think there are some pluses and minuses for where we were and where we have gone over the past 30 years.
Sometimes, I Don’t Know…
I feel like I have been down this road a few times. I guess I’m wrestling with God, but He hasn’t put my hip out of joint, yet (I have been listening to Imago Dei Community series called “Wrestling with God”) Or did I just tap out? I’m not sure. I think that I am [...]
A New Podcast in the Works
I’m going to attempt a new podcast in the upcoming months. I’m a little slow on the uptake on getting things done, but it seems like the resources that I need are coming together for me get the hardware and software that I need to do a good job. The hardware: In a stroke of [...]

The waiting is the hardest part…
I was reading a story at the Huffington Post about something totally unrelated, but the story used the prodigal son parable (Luke 15:11-32) for an analogy. Really, this all comes down to an illustration of a parable that Jesus told about two sons. In the wide world, it’s known as the prodigal son, but the story is [...]
Uncle Drew’s Talk on Sex and Marriage-Chosen GR
Drew Spanding has been doing a talks at Chosen for a few years now. I have to say that the talk he gave at Grand Rapids on Saturday was one of his best. I didn’t take notes through the whole thing, but here was a point that has been stuck in my brain since then. [...]
Are We All Hanging on by a Thread?
I was listening to a couple of things tonight. One was the most recent Mars Hill Bible church sermon by a guest teacher Peter Rollins. They are doing a series on Ecclesiastes. However, one of the stories he tells was of somebody person on a train that loses their wallet which has their ticket in [...]

I was once again thinking over the guilt vs. grace thing. If you want to read my other posts on guilt vs. grace go to here, here, here, and here. So while I was driving into Gaylord the other day, I was listening to the podcast, Pray-As-You-Go. The verse for the day’s prayer was Mark [...]
