Better than my best
“The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.”
I enjoy theology—studying God as He has revealed Himself in Creation; through the prophets; the written word; and ultimately Jesus, the Living Word.
When you ask me a question, I should point you there too. I can give you a quick answer and it will be the best I have. But there's One better to train you.
Learn from Jesus and then let's talk about it.
I am the church
I am the church in my secret life
I am the church in my public life
I am the church in my private life
I am the church in my religious life
I am the church in my vocational life
I am the church in my personal life
I am the church in my ministry life
I am the church in my political life
I am the church in my social life
I am the church in my one lived life
One was not like the Other
“For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done for you. Truly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his master, and a messenger is not greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.”
Last night I was unloving.
Last night I was unlike Jesus.
