“The gospel is not a doctrine of the tongue, but of life. It cannot be grasped by reason and memory only, but it is fully understood when it possesses the whole soul and penetrates to the inner recesses of the heart.”― John Calvin, Golden Booklet of the True Christian Life Jesus says, “To what can I […]
At some point in our lives we must all make choice either by intention or by default. Sometimes that choice is intentional based on sound reasoning and careful, even prayerful, consideration of the results and the costs associated with a particular path. Other times we abdicate our choices to time and chance and simply accept […]
Jesus constantly challenged his followers as well as the authorities that always seemed to be hovering around to think differently about the world and their place in it. We are no exception. Jesus’ words challenge us, invite us, and prod us to move in new directions. As we embark on this journey through Lent, we […]
There’s always more stories to tell. At the risk of boring you with mountains of details which may or may not have significance to you, I will try and summarize as the days events the best I can recall. There is a church in a place called Fon Chwal (deep horse) which is about 45 […]
A Life set on Autopilot is bound to crash and burn sooner or later. Many children are set on a path early in their lives – graduate from high school, go to college, graduate from college, fall in love, get married, buy a house, have children, retire, have grandchildren, die. It’s the American Dream. Yet […]
Chips, Chisels and Choices One day the great Michelangelo attracted a crowd of spectators as he began to work. One child in particular was fascinated by the sight of flying chips and the ringing sound of the mallet as it struck the chisel. The master was focusing his attention on a large block of white […]
Got idols? It’s hard to believe there are perfectly sane people who dress up in elegant dress and then bow and scrap down in adoration toward inanimate objects. How childish and regressive, right? We are so beyond that? Right? Nope. Take a look at the kind of idols we worship and the kind of sacrifices […]

Life is present in every community; and the challenge life presents to us is to find it, grab hold of it and run with it because life is moving on. We have a choice, of course. Life or Death. The language of death is easy to speak, but they call us to make a different […]
You know the feeling. The day is dragging on, your eyes are having trouble focusing, and all you can think about is the slow plodding of the clock. It is between 2 and 3 in the afternoon — the “pit in the pm” in the words of biorhythm experts. The urge to grab a cat-nap […]
“I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.” ― A.W. Tozer Do you expect and look forward to new experience, new challenges and new friendships in […]
“What’s the point of striving to get to the top, to be better than everyone else, to be admired, applauded and worshiped if in the process you lose that spark of life that makes you more than just another face in the crowd? What need is so valuable you would be willing to give up the artist, […]
This Sunday, Erin Long and Barb Richter shared how their trip to Haiti impacted their life. It was a huge risk to Erin who’s never done anything like this, but it opened a whole new door to what she’s capable of and what God is able to do through her. Her story and her experience […]
Today started with great expectations, lots to do and adventures yet to be realized. We started the day with devotionals by talking about the experiences we all had at DBR and what it meant for our relationship to God, to the Church (the body of Christ) and to others. There is still a lot of […]
Most of our lives are governed by our expectations of what we looking for. If we expect to succeed, we’re optimistic, positive and hardworking, if we expect to fail we don’t. But what about our expectations of others or of God. Think about the expectations people had of Jesus prior to the Transfiguration as recorded […]
The story of the Magi travelling to Bethlehem has value for us today for several reasons. (1) it reminds us that the birth of Jesus is for Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female. The Magi represent the inclusion of the whole world. (2) To those who seek find, to those who knock […]
Christmas is Opportunity. “Understand the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” Romans 13:11 Never forget the drama that was a part of that first Christmas. We are familiar with the story NOW in hindsight, but when it […]
“This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 1:18 Christmas is pregnant. Pregnant with possibilities. Pregnant with purpose. Pregnant with promise. Think about it. For 9 long […]
Are Christians better people because they are Christian? When we become Christians do we become better than other people? It’s certainly the accusation most non-Christians level at the church community. We are perceived as arrogant, holier-than-thou people who shake their finger at the world with a condescending tone rather than washing feet and offering grace. […]

The Screwtape Letters were written by CS Lewis as a fictional (I hope) account of a Senior Demon teaching a Junior Demon (wormwood) in the ways of destroying the human spirit. In the passage the Patient (a human being) has had some thoughts of a spiritual kind including the ideas of repentence. What does this […]
Are we really followers of Christ? According to whom? According to what measure of holiness? Have we substituted Cheap Grace for the costly discipleship that defines the Kingdom of God? The Letter to Diognetus, the work of an unknown author, written in about 130, describes Christians to the Romans as follows: “They dwell in their […]
In his book The Great Divorce, C. S. Lewis, the great Christian apologist, draws a stark picture of hell.

Adam Hamilton, pastor of United Methodist megachurch Church of the Resurrection, posted the following in an open Facebook group: My own assessment of the UMC is that in the last twenty years we’ve shifted towards the center theologically and a reclaiming of our evangelical heritage.

There really is an important distinction! Member minded church exists for the members, mission minded church exists for the mission and vision of the church. What then is the mission of the church, why was it created and by what standard will it be deemed successful in it’s activities? A member minded church expresses many […]
“I will say to the captives, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Be Free!'” Isaiah 49:9 The highest aim of mission-minded people is not self-protection but self sacrifice, to empty themselves of themselves in order to be used by God and filled with the Spirit of God. They know first hand what addictions […]

Christ Centered ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ Acts 17:28 Jesus is the starting point for our story. What came before this is insignificant compared to what comes after it.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27 If you had an opportunity to follow Jesus, would you do it? Sounds like an easy one to answer, until you think about it. And that’s the problem isn’t it, we don’t think about it. Most of us think of […]

The church as an institution is all about management. How do we manage the future? As a consequence we get an elevated opinion of what we do verse who we are. I think Jesus wanted us to see ourselves from God’s perspective and perhaps have a good belly laugh at all we do and how […]

God loves to use weak people! [Like Us] “I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people.” 2 Corinthians 12:9a (LB) A weakness is any limitation that you inherited or have no power to change. Everyone has weaknesses. In fact, you have a bundle of […]
Service starts in your mind! “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” Philippians 2:5-7 (NIV) Real servants […]
We serve God by serving others! “You can tell what they are by what they do.” Matthew 7:16 (CEV) In our self-serving culture with its me-first mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept. Jesus, however, measured greatness in terms of service, not status. God determines your greatness by how many […]
You were put on earth to make a contribution! “It is God himself who made us what we are and given us new lives from Christ Jesus; and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives in helping others.” Ephesians 2:10 (LB) You were created to serve God. “God has […]

I die every day! —1 Corinthians 15:31 I had a teacher who once said, “My best days are those when I die before 7 a.m.” His practice was to meditate early in the morning and to surrender to God everything he could—his past, his future, his thoughts, his feeling, and his very self. How would […]
It is your job to protect the unity of your church! Unity is the soul of fellowship. Destroy it, and you rip the heart out of Christ’s Body. It is the essence, the core, of how God intends for us to experience life together in his church. In his final moments before being […]
Relationships are always worth restoring! “If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you … Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends.” Philippians 2:1-2 (Msg) Because life […]
Community requires COMMITMENT! “You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor.” James 3:18 (Msg) Cultivating community takes honesty.

Life is meant to be shared! “Each one of you is part of the body of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace.” Colossians 3:15 (CEV) God intends for us to experience life together.

Life is all about love! “Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is this: Live a life of love.” 2 John 1:6 (NCV) Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to […]

You were formed for God’s family! “His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure.” Eph. 1:5 (NLT) God wants a family, and he created you to be a part of it. The entire Bible […]
God is real, no matter how you feel! “But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he will stand upon the earth at last. And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God! I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with […]
God wants all of you! “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'” Mark 12:30 NIV God doesn’t want a part of your life. God is not interested in halfhearted commitment, partial obedience, and the leftovers of […]
Be a contributor instead of a consumer. Don’t approach your faith with the goal of simply seeing how much you can personally gain from it; be willing to make the sacrifices Jesus calls you to make so you can contribute to the world through your faith. Don’t reduce the church to just a vendor of […]
You are as close to God as you choose to be! “Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you.” James 4:8 (NLT) Like any friendship, you must work at developing your friendship with God. It won’t happen by accident. It takes desire, time, and energy. The first building block […]

The smile of God is the goal of your life! “May the Lord smile on you …” Numbers 6:25 (NLT) Since pleasing God is the first purpose of your life, your most important task is to discover how to do that. “Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.” Ephesians 5:10 (Msg) […]
