What is the main catalyst for change in your life?  The reality is that we are all changing but we might just not be aware of it.  Life is never just neutral.  We are always changing.  So, how are we changing and what are we becoming?  Have you ever taken some time to think about […]

As I start to write this blog, I can see the sky outside my window here in Aspen CO. lit up by the lights of the 2013 ESPN Winter X-Games.  As I watched the opening days events something that the young edgy announcers said caught my attention.  They described the X-Games as a global youth […]

How we see and experience Christmas says everything about how we see church and our relationship with God.  What are your fond memories of Christmas time?  Has Christmas become more of an emotionally tough time a year for you?  Do you find yourself trying to force a spirit of joy and cheer this time a […]

Losing Our Religion – Then What?
April 21, 2012
0
In the last two decades we have seen a critique of the Church and Christianity by many who became cynical of a form of religious Christianity that lacked authenticity.  Whole movements were started which were centered around critiquing this religious form of Christianity and calling people to evaluate their denominational ties.  There have been many […]

Marriages that Minister
March 10, 2012

We hear a lot about Marriage Ministry, but not nearly enough about Marriages that Minister.  Marriage ministries are those ministries that look to enhance and heal marriages that are either starting or are in trouble.  Marriage ministry is critical and an essential part of the life of the church, but I believe we have not […]

How Relationships Work
November 11, 2011

I know at one time or another we all have wondered how relationships work.  Or, we have wondered if it is even possible to know how relationships work.  We were not taught the importance of relationship building, nor was it modeled for most of  us.   No one is an island.  All our relationships are integrated […]

Are there any just natural causes?  Well, you might say, “Sure there are natural causes,  like when the leaves change color every Fall or like when a cold makes you sick.”  But are these “just” natural causes or are there supernatural causes behind them?  If we live in “just” a natural world like many in […]

Unity is required for growing healthy relationships.  Unity flows from the very essence of God.  The only way we can make sense of the universal desire for unity and the only way we ultimately can attain unity is by having a unified relationship with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  God exists in perfect unity; […]

This is post 8 of 12 on Awakening to Authentic Community In the New Testament the word used for discipleship is the same as used for discipline.  So, if we say we are a follower or disciple of Jesus we are expected to live a disciplined life.  Take some time to think about what Henri […]

The Key to Community – Developing a King & Kingdom Mindset
July 29, 2011
0
This is post 7 of 12 on Awakening to Authentic Community Too often our times of stillness before God devolve into self-centered intercession and personal kingdom building.  When this takes place we are not properly strengthened to engage the world but instead we are overcome by the world.  What is needed today desperately is an […]
