Not been posting lately because I’ve been reading and growing and getting wrecked. . . in a good way. Like I said, God is blowing it up with x-hookers and strippers and porn stars, wrecking our idea of what a “Christian” looks like, acts like and says. I’ve heard the example that Jesus wouldn’t be [...]

God is Blowing It Up
Posted: February 23, 2010 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy Spirit, Hookers for Jesus, JesusTags: Holy Hotties, Hookers for Jesus, The Pussycat Preacher
What is IT? Our prepackaged faith Our brick and mortar church buildings Our idea of what a Christian looks like as evidenced in Hookers for Jesus, Holy Hotties and The Pussycat Preacher. Yeah, you didn’t read that wrong. Hookers for Jesus is very clever, engaging and that word, relevant. On her website, X-Hooker Annie is [...]
This Is The Day
Posted: February 21, 2010 in God the Father, Holy Spirit, JesusTags: 1 Peter, biblegateway.com, Facebook, Isaiah, Romans
My friend’s status on Facebook today: This is the Day. Very appropriate for what has been brewing in my head and heart. God is pursuing us! God! The Living God, Creator of the Universes, Almighty One, Life Giver. He wants what’s best for us. In a conversation with another friend, I told her what I [...]
Guard Your Heart
Posted: February 12, 2010 in God the Father, Holy Spirit, JesusTags: Crazy Love, Facebook, Forgotten God, Francis Chan, Proverbs
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” Proverbs 4:23 I was driving, thinking about how much people complain about Facebook: They don’t like the way it looks or functions or how much Facebook infringes on their rights, etc. I’ve pointed out to my friends several times that Facebook [...]
Invisibility

I happily discovered a biblical truth while reading another blogger’s post. Don’t you love how God works? Here’s the excerpt from Tiffany Thinks, “Jesus read these words– ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to [...]
Forgiveness

Forgiveness is like a magic potion for believers. And conversely, unforgiveness will poison your heart, mind, soul and strength until you doubt whether you actually are one of God’s children, whether you are saved and whether God is really who He says He is. He tells us why in scripture, in the traditional NIV, Matthew [...]
Contamination
Posted: February 2, 2010 in Fireproof Ministries, God the Father, Holy Spirit, JesusTags: Gluten Free, Quinn Schipper, The Language of Forgiveness
Just thinking about some of the things we might hear when we talk about going to the gutter. Contamination. For about a month I’ve been gluten free. Throughout this process, I’ve become very familiar with avoiding contamination. Even breathing in gluten or say, dipping your knife in peanut butter and then touching bread, then dipping [...]
Dr. Keller Talks About Money
Posted: February 1, 2010 in God the Father, Holy Spirit, JesusTags: Dr. Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church
Dr. Tim Keller pastors at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York. His sermons were intricle in my journey back to Christ after a time in rebellion. Here’s a great talk on money. He calls it “Radical Generosity.” Believers “prove” themselves with radical generosity. Radical Generosity is freedom for the believer.
His Bride
Posted: February 1, 2010 in Following Jesus, God the Father, Holy Spirit, JesusTags: Bride of Christ
I’m not a theologian. That’s what’s so cool about Jesus and the internet. I don’t actually have to be a theologian to discuss Jesus. I don’t have to know everything. That’s what made the printing of the Bible so incredible. For the first time, the commoner (definitely me) could read and understand as the Holy [...]
The Church is The People

I will always write from the heart. Part of the hard thing about God’s call is that sometimes, if you are like me, then you think everyone should jump on board. In my maturing with Christ, I realize that not everyone is called to my gutter, the gutter He’s calling me to, but you are [...]
