I was reading Proverbs 9 this morning and was reminded anew of the battle that goes on in my life on a daily, moment by moment basis. Been a while since you’ve read this section of Bible? Take a moment to read two parts of Proverbs 9. In these passages we get to hear from [...]

The Thin Line

I took the following pictures last week on my flight home from California. As we sped through the air at 35,000 feet the scenes below were amazing. I was struck by how quickly the landscape changed as we moved east – out of the populated areas and over the desert. And it got me [...]
The Suffering Servant – Thoughts on Isaiah 53
Posted in Spirituality / Theology, tagged Death, gospel, Isaiah 53, Jesus, Messiah, Old Testament, Suffering Servant on March 16, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Isaiah’s account (Isaiah 53) of the Messiah as Suffering Servant is haunting in detail & content. This man…this Savior of would come for the sole purpose of restoring peace between God & humanity. His entire life would be lived in perfect obedience to the LORD. He would never slander his neighbor. He would never let [...]
Proverbs 7 – Read it lately?

I spent some time in Proverbs 7 this morning…a chapter I’ve read countless times over the years. For some reason on this December morning I was especially impacted by the weight of this chapter…the gravity of the topic & the vividness of the content. This is serious stuff. I highly encourage you (especially the men) [...]
Is your orphan care too reactive?

I saw this short video several weeks back & I’ve had a hard time getting it out of my brain. It brought back a question that I’ve been wrestling with for a while – “Are our orphan care strategies too reactive?” We spend tons of energy & resources on orphan care proper (and rightly we do) [...]
A Visual Picture of Ephesians 2:1-10

I love this passage of Scripture for a lot of reasons. When the Lord first really captured my heart in 1993 one of the first passages I committed to memory was Ephesians 2:8-9 & that has served me well over the years. Another reason I love this passage is because there is such a clear [...]

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for [...]
Everything I ever needed to know I learned from killing mosquitoes…
Posted in Africa, Spirituality / Theology, Travel, tagged Christ, David Leventhal, Death, Love, Malaria, Sin on April 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I woke up this morning to the horrible realization that there were a bunch of mosquitoes in my room. Incredibily, I don’t think I got bit last night but I killed at least 8 – 10 this morning. I noticed that I was simply relentless in my attempt to destroy these little creatures….and for good [...]
