On Outreach

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Sorry for not posting in so long — life has been busy and hectic at Capernwray. I’m on outreach right now in Yeovil, which is in the South of England, working with unchurched youth. It’s been pretty sweet so far. Working with two organizations mainly, SWYM and Urban Warriors, which have partnered to make a [...]

My Freedom and My Legalism

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Reading 1 Corinthians 6:23-33 I realize how my perception of Christian duty can be very skewed sometimes.
“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
Eat anything sold [...]

Open a Door

Friday, July 13th, 2007

I’m reading “Detox Your Spiritual Life in 40 Days” by Peter Graystone, and finding it very insightful. There’s a chapter called “Open a Door” where Graystone makes the point that as Christians we need to live our lives as though at any moment anyone could peer in to our lives as through an open [...]

Sunday is Here and Jesus is Alive!

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

On Easter Sunday followers of Jesus celebrate His resurrection and His conquering of death - because He shed His blood on the cross for our sins and rose again on the third day.
Every year this day means more to me as I realize that Jesus is alive. He died that day on the Cross but [...]

It’s Friday, but Sundays a Comin’

It’s Friday. Jesus is hanging on the cross, bloody and dying. But Sunday’s coming.

Biblical Women in Ministry

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

A controversial issue, but a discussion that needs to be had. Check out what Scott McKnight has to say about it over at Jesus Creed. I’ll add my two cents later.

Bible College Update.

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Hey there kiddies, I just wanted to keep you up to date on the Bible College front. I’m hoping to send Capernwray my application tomorrow, YAY! If you stick around until the end of this post, I’ll show you where exactly I’ll be going.
I have come to the conclusion that come September I will be [...]

A Church like the Disciple Jesus Loved

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

In my morning bible reading today, I got to to John 20, the resurrection passage in John, and couldn’t help but stop for a moment. I only got as far as verse 18, and I had to reflect on what I read. I thought about what was just said, and I laughed to myself.
You need [...]

Irrelevant or Irreverent?

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

I’ve been wrestling with some ideas about relevance and the Christian Church. The idea is that to reach more in this generation, and this time we have to make Christ relevant. We must market to the marketed, and we have to modernize (or post-modernize) our service, make it more theatrical, more interactive, more attractive. At [...]

Build a Relationship With God

Wednesday, December 7th, 2005

God wants to hear from ME, from YOU. So, in those spare moments, walking here and there, eating, or doing whatever, just give God a shout out. Talk to Him throughout the day, and tell Him what’s on your heart, what you want, need, etc. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just simple, short prayers [...]
