Intentional Church…

I sat across from one of the ministers from my church,   Here are two quotes from the conversation. Him: “I don’t want another system.” ME:  “I don’t either.”   We were discussing discipleship in relation to small groups, and how do we become more organic in our Church, and intentional in Discipleship. I sat in church [...]

Incomplete thoughts…

What you are about to read is a series of half written posts that have been in draft status for awhile.  It is time for me to clean house with them and get them out of the way.  So enjoy my incomplete thoughts…. ————– (From Jan 10th 2011) 92000 miles…  Around 950 miles a month [...]

Who is my neighbor…worth retelling…

It was the hardest collusion I had experienced in Basketball in a long time.   Jammed fingers, twisted ankles sure, but this was a knee to the ribs going up for a rebound.   After hitting the floor I realized the wind was gone,  I was gasping for air, and my side hurt. Then I heard a [...]

Modern Day Christmas Parable…

This is a Christmas Parable that I first heard as part of a sermon told by a Priest when I was in high school.   When he told it the birds were pidgins,  the ending was a bit different, but the premise the same.    I think over all though it just gives a good picture [...]

Men Choose to follow this Christmas…

At church today we listened to a sermon on why God would send his Son as a baby.   Of all the ways Jesus, being God, could have come into the world… A Baby.  I have written my perspective before about this Baby that was laid in a manger, and what II Cor 5:21 really means [...]

This is not our Church…

If you read Philter48.com you would have seen this post already.  After my last post on the word Christian, I felt that perspective was needed on who the Church belongs too, and why we as the Body the Bride need to focus solely on Him… —————————————————————— From Cathedrels to Third World missions..
