"Then the manna ceased . . ." Joshua 5:12 "So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from …

Glimpsing Revival: Khassia Hills, March 1905
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple... and the house was filled with smoke. Isaiah 6:1, 4 Revival is not a calendared event in a church. It is not an evangelistic crusade, although evangelism …

I really do believe these things…
I really do believe... that God spoke creation into existence, that there was a first couple who sinned for the first time (Adam & Eve), that all human beings share a common ancestor and an inherited predisposition to sin, that there was a massive human attempt to resist God's will at the tower of Babel, that …
A Time for Tenebrae
Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. Matthew 27:45 I thought I was dying. Over four days, I had grown increasingly weak and light-headed. The day before I saw a doctor, I rose at 4 a.m. to drive 400 miles to pray with a friend having …

Of course, this suggested that hunters might find some level of affirmation for their sport from that verse. …
Going Out of the Box
Thinking about our mission as His people... the buildings we build and the in-house programs we run can inadvertently lead us to an all-out effort (on our best days) to get people to come join us in our "box." When in truth, God clearly told us to "go"... you can't "go" in a "box." You'll …
Sacred Space
I walked into the drafty motel room on a cold Saturday afternoon, pushing the door closed with my foot and setting my bags down on the thin, worn carpet. Surveying the room in the dim light, there were two double beds with a nightstand, a small round table and chair, and a long bureau with …
On Using Social Media (Part 2): 6 Essential Facebook Social Skills that Promote Relationships
Social media is evolving, but it's not disappearing. I heard a comedian announce a future merger between YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook to create a new social media: YouTwitFace. Mmm... I hope not! The changes are profound. Whether I like it or not, people are using social media to make personal anouncements and plan meetings. They …
On Using Social Media (Part 1): 7 Ways to Damage Relationships through Facebook
My original title for this blog was: using facebook to do relationships, tell your story, promote your passion--and to do it without being obnoxious and without falling into narcissism... or getting fired... or something like that. :-) But I decided that was a little long. Plus, Facebook is not the only channel in the social …
