Update for the Blog
I have been inactive on my blog for a variety of reasons, some which will become the subject of future posts. The close of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 has been an interesting and difficult time. We suffered the pre-mature death of my brother-in-law which has caused me to take a fresh look at [...]
Chrysalis Journey #15 | The Power of Patient Persistence (Pt. 1)
It would almost seem contradictory to talk of patient persistence, but this is exactly what prayer is. One of the most amazing aspects of Chrysalis is the amount of prayer that goes into the preparation of these weekends and the amount of prayer that happens during the weekend. I almost say this to my shame, [...]
Chrysalis Journey #15 | Just when you thought you knew…
Just when you thought you knew what God was up to He demonstrates that you have no idea whatsoever. One of the most amazing things about this weekend was that God is not in a hurry. We might be, but not God. God is able to work out His plan on His time without any [...]
Romans Series (Pt. 24) – Romans 5:15-17
Bible Study Series The Nature of Christ’s Gift (5:15-17) Paul is bridging the gap between verses 14 and 15 when he goes on to explain that the effect of Adam’s sin was so damaging that it sent the whole of humanity into condemnation. Paul makes the inference that it took just one sin to send [...]
Romans Series (Pt. 23) – Romans 5:12-14
Bible Study Series Guilty in Adam (5:12) Paul’s language here sounds like a doctor’s description of the spread of a disease. Adam was the first to have the problem and as he interacted with others he kept infecting others with the illness. This is one of the great debates that exists about in what way [...]
Chrysalis Journey #15 | Exposure is the Key
The power of God to change the life of men is found in exposing those very same hearts to the love of God in the form of renewed believers. Any heart that encounters service that emerges out of an awakened life, a life that has been touched by the love of God manifested in the [...]
The Love of Christ
This was the “Thought of the Day” this morning that my father sent out to his church and friends. This morning Iris and I drove our Costa Rica Missions Team to the airport. It was an exciting event as they picked up their suitcases and headed for the terminal. The church has prayed for them. [...]
Romans Series (Pt. 22) – Romans 5:9-11
Bible Study Series We Have Life! (5:9-11) Paul shares with us another benefit of being in relationship with Christ. We are declared righteous by the blood of Jesus. This is an amazing truth. Not only is God’s wrath no longer sitting on us, but we been given access to God our Father because of Jesus [...]
Romans Series (Pt. 21) – Romans 5:6-8
Bible Study Series Our Great Weakness (5:6) After giving us a brief lesson about perspective we move into a short discussion about the condition of the lost soul. He describes humanity as being weak and ungodly. These are not very flattering references, but we have to see ourselves as God does in order to understand [...]
Romans Series (Pt. 20) – Romans 5:1-5
Bible Study Series Peace With God (5:1) Paul begins chapter 5 with a word about the effect that all of chapter 4 implies to us now that we have become children of God. It is important to see the connections that Paul is making from chapter to chapter. What Paul is describing here is not [...]
