I am thinking about ‘worship’ a lot lately. Can’t get over the feeling that something is missing, something is wrong. I’m talking about in the church in general, at least as I have experienced it. I remember hearing the story behind the song “The Heart of Worship”, and as I reviewed this video, I can…

not be silent
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever. [Psalm 30:11-12]
another Jesus follower
Dorothy Pearce is another Jesus-follower that inspires me. Valerie and I met her a few years ago while visiting with Tony and Mary in Haiti. She runs Faith Hope Love Infant Rescue in Port Au Prince, Haiti. This is how her blog describes her work: A Christian children’s home in Port au Prince Haiti, sometimes…
“I’ll be mad for my king”
Next Sunday I am speaking on Psalm 34. The title of this psalm reads: Psalm 34 Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left. You can read the story here. But just note, that in the actual account the king is called Achish. Some explain that ‘abimelech’ is…
feasting on anger
Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving…
the Jesus Rant
This guy gets to the point, a bit edgy though. But even though some may not like how he says it, what he says seems valid. What do you think of his rant?

Wow, what a challenging and convicting video. An important reminder that children are watching, children are learning. Reminds me of a prayer in the form of a song I once heard years ago. It was a Promise Keepers song, a father praying in regards to his son: “Lord I want to be just like you,…
how is God beautiful?
“One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.” [Psalm 27:4] Does anyone have an idea what it means for David when…
afraid?
The LORD is my light and my salvation– whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life– of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my…
