The Jesus I Thought I Knew
1 January 2010
Suppose we hear an unknown man spoken of by many men.
Suppose we were puzzled to hear that some men said he was too tall and some too short; some objected to his fatness, some lamented his leanness; some thought him too dark, and some too fair. ONe explanation… would be that he might be an [...]
3 Dollars of Gospel
31 August 2009
A week ago I read a sheet of paper given out containing the exposition of Philippians by D.A. Carson.
I would like to buy about three dollars worth of gospel, please.
Not too much – just enough to make me happy, but not so much that I get addicted.
I don’t want so much gospel that I learn [...]
0+4 Levels of Knowing
30 August 2009
I like how a friend spoke about levels of knowing. I added in “0″ myself and renamed them to become more meaningful.
0. Complete Ignorance
“I don’t even know what a god is or whether it exists.”
1. Acknowledgement of Existence
“I know that there is a God.”
2. Deeper Understanding
“I know stuff about the Bible and who this God [...]

Leadership is scarce because few people are willing to go through the discomfort required to lead.
The scarcity makes leadership valuable. If everyone tries to lead all the time, not much happens. It’s discomfort that creates the leverage that makes leadership worthwhile.
In other words, if everyone could do it, they would, and it wouldn’t be worth [...]
Faith
25 August 2009
We find that faith is different from what we’ve oftentimes thought. Faith isn’t so much about having a big idea.
Faith isn’t about how much belief you can muster up. Faith isn’t like spiritual childbirth, where you experience the pain of labor. It is not about trying to create the future by believing it will be [...]
Sexual Immorality and Its Consequences
19 August 2009
But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral [...]
The Gospel for The Poor and Needy
13 August 2009
If we open our eyes to see what the Gospel says about the poor and needy, then we will find ourselves in a religious mess. Throughout the entire Bible, God has always made mention of the less fortunate; from Leviticus through to Matthew. In fact, Jesus even measures our integrity by what we have for [...]
How To Treat a Lady in Public
13 August 2009
This is a little lesson on the topic of Social Etiquette that some of us guys can make do with. According to Charles Shedd treating a woman in public is almost as, if not more important than treating her at home. Over the years he has been adding to this list to make “her” first [...]
The Case for Early Marriage
11 August 2009
Not too long ago Christianity Today published a series of article regarding marriage.
The article is worth it’s weight in gold. It spans 7 pages long and is worthy for all who decide to have a go at it. For the time-poor, I have clipped off a handful of excerpts that I’ve found absolutely delightful and [...]
