Sin Wagon

Recently I was at the College World Series with some of my friends.  As we arrived at our seats, one of my friends pulled out a Ziploc bag full of peanuts that she had brought from home and smuggled past the police officer who checked her bag at the entrance to the stadium.  When she [...]

Meet: Amena Brown

I came across this unbelievable child of God purely by chance. While looking for more videos of Scripture being read I came across Amena Brown. A spoken word poet that captured my full attention with her words and her voice; her passion for Christ radiating through each one she spoke. The first [...]

Cubicle Christianity

I just returned from Alaska and it was beautiful.  I found myself on multiple occasions marveling at God’s glorious creation, and I kept thinking to myself how much fun God must have had as he created the world and how awful it is that we have destroyed and abused it since.  As I stood in [...]

What a Name!

 
When you see His name, what do you think?  What emotions flood over you?
Stop whatever you are doing for a minute and just look at His name.
David Crowder sings in his new CD, “there are so few words that never grow old.” It truly is a magnificent name.  A life changing name. A breathtaking name. A name [...]

The Christmas Gift

“What did you get for Christmas?”
I remember this question ringing through the classrooms in elementary school when you returned from Christmas break.  If you could bring it to school, it was in your backpack for recess or before and after school or in some cases during class.  If it was sweet new threads or new [...]

White Noise

Do you know the Lord’s Prayer?
Can you recite Genesis 1:1 from memory? 
How about John 3:16?
Do you remember Romans 3:23?
How about Ephesians 2:8?
What is Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19? 
My guess is you nailed every single one of those questions. They are a few of the most well-known & quoted verses in the Bible.  They are used [...]

The Noise We Make

Shhhhhh …. Listen.
Whatever you are doing, just stop and listen. 
What do you hear?
Is your TV on? Do you have music playing from a radio or iPod? Is your cell phone ringing, beeping or playing Jay-Z’s latest ring tone?  Or are you talking or texting on our phone while you read this?
What do you hear?
Is there [...]

JESUSoda

The other night I was up late flipping through the channels because I was not tired and I came upon the movie Blade: Trinity.  There was a part where Dracula is walking through the city streets and everyone is moving fast all around him but he just walks along slowly.  Finally he walks by a [...]

Stranded

Yesterday, I dropped the ball. 
I must admit that I am ashamed at my behavior.
I ignored Jesus.I found myself in Lake Manawa at the Kia dealership waiting for my oil change to get done. The TV was on (Ellen) and i decided to fill my mind with something other than talk show garbage. So I turned on my [...]
