Praise Habit

I just finished David Crowder's book, Praise Habit. He is an excellent writer and has a great sense of humor. His encounter with Richard Simmons at LAX had Cherie and I rolling! There is a lot of spiritual depth in this book and a challenge to bring "rescue" in a real way in a real world. It is definitely worth the read!

Welcome back you blogger you!! I tried to leave a comment on the Galoneda site, but it said that it wouldn't accept comments from "anonymous" people. Is that what I am?!!! :) :)

Keep writing! I long to be inspired!!

Julie...I have come to the hard conclusion that I simply can not keep up two blogs...I stink at keeping up just one, so I am thinking that I will just add Galoneda updates to this. What do you think?

In response to your other question, eventually we all become "anonymous". From anonymity we come...and to it we return. Only the Lord really knows and remembers our name forever. It appears it is just happening to you a little quicker than the rest of us. ;)

Sweeping Under the Doormat...

Image
I was reading tonight some material and came across the story of a young woman who was attempting to join Spurgeon's church in London one day, and she was asked, "What makes you think you have become a Christian?" Not understanding all the Bible doctrines of conversion and regeneration, she simply responded, "Because now I sweep under the doormat!" I really like that answer. The walk we are called to is not about the appearance that we can put on, as if by any stretch you or I could do anything to impress God. So who do we put those famous Sunday appearances on for that we hold to so tightly ? Why do you insists on wearing that suit and tie on Sunday? Who are you hoping is going to be "scoping" that new Easter dress and hat you just purchased? Does God marvel at those things? Is he impressed? I talked with another man this weekend, who told me he couldn't go to church this past Sunday because his only pair of jeans have holes in them and they are...

Into the Mystic

Image
I always liked the Van Morrison song, "Into the mystic", but gotta admit, I don't understand what in the world it is about. Aside from that, when I hear the word "mystic" or more directly "mysticism", it conjures up in my brain images of beaded, peace sign tatooed, nature fetished hippie types, hugging trees for some undefined type of "spiritual experience". Pretty weird, huh? I really need to work on these stereotypes I have floating around in my head. As I have been reading more and more on the missional vs. emergent thing, this whole concept of "mysticism" keeps popping up. What I can't seem to get my brain around is if the term has been adulterated in practice within the emergent movement to be more reflective of my bad stereotype or is it really about making doctrine secondary to feelings? I am not making a statement, it is really the question I have, since there appears to be such disparity between the different congregati...

Bringing others to Worship

You know our desire should be to bring others to worship in more than a metaphorical sense. I’m talking literally . It is like pulling teeth to convince someone of their need to overcome their fear and begin witnessing...but how easy is it to just simply invite someone to church? I had a great idea this morning. How would it be if in our affluent nation, every Christian who drives, would with God’s help purchase a 15 passenger van and submit himself/herself in accountability to others (who also have their 15 passenger vans) to fill them up with people that they know who are unchurched, in order to bring them to worship. Let’s bring it down a notch, what if every person in your church with a drivers license, did this? Every chauffeur would be exposing people to the Gospel, building community, and using their time and resources every week in an active ministry. They would be making disciples of those who routinely ride with them by encouraging them to purchase their own van and to do the...
