Our perception of God.
Perhaps one the most destructive forces working against us in our relationship with God is a misinterpretation of scripture leading to a misunderstanding of who God is and who we are in Him. Our understanding of who God is and how He sees us shapes our lives dramatically. Just imagine for a minute that walkingContinue reading “Our perception of God.”
Slogan Theology
So, in perusing some of the blogs and boards I visit frequently, someone posted a link to The Advertising Slogan Generator. It’s one of those fascinating little online oddities that help wile away the hours for bored office workers. Here’s how it works: Type in any word into the field provided, and the program spitsContinue reading “Slogan Theology”
SHALOM!
Usually one of the first things a person will ask me when they find out I am a follower of Christ is whether or not some activity they are involved in is considered a sin. My answer for that is that for each person it’s different. Some things we know are just out andContinue reading “SHALOM!”

I believe it’s self deprication because the PC Christian is my brother, no matter how he comes off. We’re sharing the same life, so toContinue reading “Mac vs PC parody, Part Two”
A Parable of Christmas Lights
Each year, my daughter Janelle and I are in charge of putting up the Christmas lights. We usually do this the day after Thanksgiving…and we will be doing so later on this afternoon. I just wanted to share something I wrote about it several years back. —————————————————————————————– My daughter and I put up theContinue reading “A Parable of Christmas Lights”
