True freedom is worshiping God. It doesn’t seem like that would be freedom, right? How can it be that love is not self-seeking and God is love and yet, He requires us to worship Him? Worshiping God is for you. I’m not going to try to explain that in human words or experience. It is just truth [...]

No Fear
Posted: December 31, 2011 in God the Father, Holy Spirit, JesusTags: fear of the Lord, freedom, Isaiah, Psalms
There is so much fear in the world. There’s comfort in fearing the Lord and when the Lord is feared, there is no other fear. A good reminder for a new year. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the lord are [...]

The Flip Side of Love Wins
Posted: April 10, 2011 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: Eternal Punishment, Love Wins by Rob Bell, Obedience
Man, I’m not sure if we’re waiting to rake people over the coals or not, but the controversy surrounding Rob Bell‘s new book Love Wins EVEN BEFORE most people had a chance to read it, was mostly marketing genius and partly, people with WAY too much time on their hands. First off, how do you [...]
Where’s the Fruit?
Posted: April 3, 2011 in Fireproof Ministries, Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: heaven, hell, Love Wins, Rob Bell, XXXChurch.com
I read all about the hype surrounding Rob Bell’s new book, Love Wins, way before I even knew he wrote books. The buzz was literally intriguing and I found myself consumed with wondering about heaven, hell and what I’ve always been taught. I pretty much got the wind knocked out of me. I searched for an [...]
Isaiah 9:4
Posted: February 6, 2011 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy SpiritTags: captivity, God saves, scripture
Holy scripture has much to say about setting captives free. This is the verse I’m taking with me this year to proclaim freedom! For God will break the chains that bind his people and the whip that scourges them, just as he did when he destroyed the army of Midian with Gideon’s little band. I [...]
Be Aggressive

Coming out of a self-made prison, makes breaking free all the sweeter. In seeking God, I ran across my Voice of the Martyrs newsletter. This amazing ministry supports with love, prayer and resources all the believers who risk their lives to minister to least of these, persons trapped in the war zones of Columbia (any [...]
Slavery Map
Posted: August 30, 2010 in All Things New, God the Father, Not For Sale, WRATH CampaignTags: Not For Sale, slaverymap.org
This bears mentioning again. The national organization Not For Sale created this slavery map to show us how we live next door to modern slavery. It’s intense and a little disconcerting, but that’s just what we need to spur us to action. For every mention on this map, there’s about 12 cases not able to [...]
WRATH Campaign
Posted: July 20, 2010 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy Spirit, WRATH CampaignWomen Rallying Against Trafficking Humans. That’s a pretty powerful statement unto itself. What could the average women possibly do about human trafficking? The cause of modern slavery is no different from the slavery that has existed since man knew he could intimidate and control another man. Since man determined to belittle another man’s self worth [...]
Something New

My friends Brett and Kelli followed God’s call to take care of the orphans and adopted two boys from Rwanda. It was a grueling process with God cutting lots of redtape and in the process, giving them a heart for the people of Rwanda. Not long after that, God called them to actually move to [...]
