It’s gone too far…

During E3 (the biggest video game conference) EA games wanted to promote their new game coming out in 2010 titled “Dante’s Inferno.” The way they did was pretty funny and upsetting at the same time. They hired people to ACT as Christian protesters who wanted the game banned. Read more about it here.
I was not upset about [...]

Is it wrong…

Is it wrong that my goal in life is now to own an iPhone? I mean the $80/month bill, the constant distraction of applications, my kids clamoring to use it for the games and oh ya the possibility of getting overcharged because I text way too much.
When I mentioned this to someone they said “that’s [...]

Love makes sacrifices

Lately God has been working on our marriage…it’s a good thing. I’ve been trying to really get my life straight while trying to be a husband who treats God’s child like a princess. Today was a good day for me. We were getting ready to leave our church from VBS today when Annie couldn’t find [...]

Forgiveness

I’m working on forgiveness. It is extremely hard. Something that helps me is 2 Corinthians 2:10 -
What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ.
I have been talking with a lot of students lately who are dealing with the same issue: Conflict Resolution. In [...]

I once was lost

Have you ever read the book I Once Was Lost by Don Everts and Doug Schaupp? I was required to read it for my job and to my surprise I loved the book! I’ve written a one page review here (.doc) but for those of you who are like me and want a super fast [...]

Easter – Sundays

Yesterday was Easter and my church did a production/musical based on Max Lucado’s book 3:16. The way they integrated worship with the pastor was great (especially for my ADD!) He would come up in between songs and explain a little of John 3:16 each time. Great way of keeping attention as well as a focus [...]

Too Fast?

I’ve been trying to slow my life down. My new kid really helped me with this. Especially as I couldn’t go on the spring break mission trip and now my wife said no to me going to India on a mission trip this summer. I need to slow down. The past three years I’ve been [...]

Dear God

I’ve been following this blog called Dear God for about a year now. I read it when I need a reality check. I read it when I’ve been sitting in my office too long and think, why am I doing this God? Too many times I get sucked into the Christian bubble and don’t realize the [...]

What’s Next?

I need to be careful with this post…Have you ever gone stale in where you are? I mean, we are just now starting to create a community of love and grace and sharing (still working on the serving). But lately, I haven’t had the passion I once had for this ministry. Craig Groeschel wrote a [...]

Chuck

Have you ever sat down and talked with someone who is homeless?
Since the end of the summer last year I’ve invested in a guy named Chuck. He came by our building looking for a bike from the leader of Chi Alpha, another Christian organization on campus. Since then he has been loved on by our [...]
