Did you pray for 5 days for someone? Do they help? In other words, I’m wondering if they are still drifting or if you can see some positive motion. Sometimes positive only means that we had a chance to plant a small seed, or perhaps water one that someone else had already set in motion. […]
Welcome to the 6-week Bible study, Come Back to Jesus–and Don’t Bring your Blackberry! Have you started reading the book yet? You can get an ebook or the paperback here. I will work from the perspective that you haven’t started reading yet. It’s really important before we start the deep work on our hearts that […]
It’s official — I’ll be leading Bible study both here on my blog and on Goodreads.com. If I told you it would help you communicate with God better, would you come? If you knew you’d be better for it afterward, would you commit? If your feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness and shame changed to radiant […]
I’m reading in 1 Corinthians this week. Actually, it’s more than that. I am leading a group in a very brave Read The New Testament in 90 Days project—and I am behind. I. Am. The Leader. I’m behind. Anyway. I can’t help it; I’m already there. So let’s move over to 1 Corinthians. When this […]

I finished `The Faith Dare: 30 Days to Live Your Life to the Fullest’ by Debbie Alsdorf only a couple of days late. Not bad for me, I usually fall way behind. This was supposed to be read Aug. 1-30 and I finished Sept. 2. Here is a slightly-longer-than-usual review of the book: What Would […]
My latest video, based on a thought from yesterday’s church service: what is heaven like? Please let me know what YOU think it’s like! Very short, and no verses to look up. 😀
Something as simple as whether to blog about a book you’re reading can put you into a sort of tailspin. I read recently that if I’m blogging, as a Christian author, my posts should only be about: 1. me in relation to my book 2. the book itself 3. Christianity as it relates to my […]
….and what we can do about it. Please watch the video for a couple of my thoughts on this topic. Based on Galatians 5. I’ll post a link here shortly with the “love” verses I promised. 🙂
