Bragging on Daddy
Noah, Mia and I love to play make-believe together. Really, the world is our stage; we tend to be any and everything as the summer days grow long and light. I am not the perfect dad by any imagination, so let me interject that I do not play with them the amount of hours I […]

Right Here, Right Now
I preached this weekend at PCC. It was a wonderful time; I had many of my former students come out and show support, as well as my new students voicing their encouragement. As I finished, I talked with many of them in the back of the sanctuary, remembering old times and feeling afresh my heartache […]

My Daddy (and for anyone else reading this)
I went out to Palm Desert this weekend after a quick stop in San Diego to watch my covenant brother, Jeff Block, graduate from Bethel Seminary with a masters in theology. It was great fun being with Jeff, texting him Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade quotes while the speakers dragged on, seeing his beautiful […]

The glory of God in the Gospel of grace speaks boldly to our weaknesses in life, acknowledges them, and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is glorified indeed when we are weak, so that He is strong. This has been the case for the bulk of our lives, whether we admit it […]

Truth and a Pair of Jeans
I bought jeans the other day. I know this isn’t profound, but it’s been a few years since I had and it was an eye opening experience for me. Everything, every cut, every style, was “skinny.” I’m skinny; I don’t want my jeans to be “skinny.” Everywhere I went, all the styles I wanted were [...]

We are called to “Create.”
The rink itself is in southern California. It was a long and narrow piece of property but sizeable to any young child growing up without a care. I remember distinct images of my brothers dressed up in army garb, painted faces, ready to charge the enemy with the smallest hint of fear creeping around the [...]

The End
Read: Revelation 21.1-22.5 Get a glimpse of heaven. Try to imagine it. Try to know what it will be like, beside Christ, basking in his glory, in his ever present reality where truth becomes vision, where no tear will fall and no pain ever be present. That is the end of the story. In the [...]

The Lamb Who Was Slain
Read: Revelation 13.7-8, Luke 1.46-47 The book of life, is only life, because of the lamb who was slain.
