In Exodus 40, the phrase “just as the Lord commanded” occurs 7 times. The end of the chapter proceeds to describe how, after Moses had done everything as the Lord commanded that, the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. In truth, the glory was so thick that Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle. [...]

Instant Replay
I love soccer (from the English abbreviation “association football”). I love the pace and flow of the game. I love how there are no timeouts. I love the build-up to each and every goal. I, also, love how there is no use of instant replay. In this World Cup there have been tons of bad [...]
The “trouble” with revelation.
In the title (right above) I am not talking about the book of revelation, so much as I am referring to revelation that helps us mature in our faith. Paul says in Philippians 3:16: “Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same [...]
Updated by God
Well, we just got back from Brasil last week. What an amazing time that was! We saw hundreds get saved, healed and touched by the power of God. Paige and I (plus interns from 220) left on Sunday and were in the Brasilian state of Paraibo. We were preparing the city for a crusade that [...]
Outlawed!
I have had these scriptures rumbling about in my spirit for the last month or so. I figured I would share them. They are good ones (as different from “non-good scriptures” Is. 59:14, 15 – Our courts oppose the righteous, and justice is nowhere to be found. Truth stumbles in the streets, and HONESTY has [...]
A pact with who??
The events of this past week in Haiti have been horrific and unbelievable. The numbers are staggering as to the assumed death toll (100,000 to 500,000) and to the amount effected (3 million people). Just about everyone on Earth is joining in to help out. Roughly $10 million has been texted to Red Cross in [...]
Who is church for? Pt. 2
In the last post I brought up the question of who is church for? I asked the question is church for believers or unbelievers. In this blog, I would like to re-ask that question from a different view point. Who is church for, Jesus or the world? According to a number of scriptures in the [...]
unSecret Christian Fetish #4: My Preferences
On every website, on every cell phone, on every computer and just about everything we encounter nowadays there is a subtle hidden feature. It’s the “my preferences” feature. On your laptop you can adjust everything from icons to screen saver to background image. The same goes for your cell phones as well. The same also [...]
unSecret Christian Fetish #3 – Works not words.
Poor St. Francis, so many people have blasted him for a comment he never made. Perhaps, you have heard the phrase: “preach the gospel, if necessary, use words”. A lot of people think St. Francis coined that phrase. (He didn’t, his real quote: In Chapter XVII of his Rule of 1221, Francis told the friars [...]
unSecret Christian Fetish #2 – Earthly Thinking
It’s hard to truly fathom heaven and eternity. In fact, in hebrew, the definition of eternity is time outside of the mind. So, having said that how can finite beings truly comprehend the infinite? Only through the mind of the Spirit (the mind of Christ). It’s very easy to get caught up in earthly thinking. [...]
