Are You A Christian Hipster?

I got this from mondaymorninginsight.com.  I think I scored about a 70% that I am a Christian hipster. Are you a ‘Christian Hipster’?  Do you consider yourself a ‘cool’ Christian?  See if you qualify… Do you like? Christian hipsters like music, movies, and books that are well-respected by their respective artistic communities—Christian or not. They [...]

Take Off the Veil!

I was always awed by the story of Moses and how he spent so much time in the presence of God that his face ‘shone’ with the radiance of God when he came down from Mt. Sinai…so much so that he had to put on a veil to allow others to be in his presence. When [...]

“The Furious Longing of God”–my review

Let me start off by saying that I love all of the Brennan Manning’s books that I’ve read so far…all 2 of them. Last year, I was at the the bargain book store and came across “The Importance of Being Foolish” and it blew me away! I love his writing style and the story behind [...]

A few months ago, I began to get these weird looking blisters and rash-looking things on my hands. It started off small and almost unnoticeable but as the days went on, it got worse and worse. By about the third week, they got extremely red and puffy and it looked like I had dipped my [...]

Real ministry??!!

As everyone knows, I work at Comcast right now as an Customer Account Executive (sounds fancy, doesn’t it?). I can’t say that I really like my job (anyone that listens to people complain all day long and likes it is sadistic…wait, being a pastor was kind of like that:) Anyway, for the next 2 weeks, [...]

7 Mistakes Every Church Should Avoid

I read a lot of blogs from a variety of different pastors and leaders with different viewpoints than my own.  To me, if you aren’t dialoguing with people that disagree with you, it won’t be long before you become prideful, arrogant and close minded.  Anyway, I subscribe to a newsletter every month from a website [...]
