My wife just lost her best friend. She did not lose her due to a death or because she moved away, she lost her because we left the Church and “showed disrespect” to the pastor. We had been members of the church since 1996 and had been involved in many of the ministries of [...]

Sharing a Spirit of Christ.
Aug 19
While going to Beliefnet today I happened to watch a “debate” between to men of Faith. It was posted from bloggingheads.tv and was Brian McLaren and Richard Land talking of Faith and Politics.
These two men of Faith spoke clearly and directly to my heart. While I try to avoid politics on [...]
While I try to stay out of the Presidential debates and the question as to whom I would like for the next “Leader of the Band”, I found that last nights interviews of McCain and Obama very interesting.
As a Christian who believes that there is a lot more to being a Christian that being opposed [...]

“Lab Makes Renewable Diesel Fuel From E. Coli Poop”
We all need a good laugh [...]
Pray for Wendy Down Under

My friend Wendy in Australia is undergoing chemo treatment for cancer. She started treatment last week and the cancer is possibly in mutable areas of her body. Although Wendy and I have never met, I think of her as a daughter and, as a cancer survivor myself, I know the trauma of Spirit [...]
God’s Diet: Levitical Law
Aug 12
As I have read and reflected on God’s Diet laws for the Israelites, I found that much of what was commanded was for the health of the people. This was not a new revolution to me but I felt that it bore speaking on.
God wants us to live a healthy and well nourished life. [...]
The Zeal of Salvation
Aug 8
As I read my daily reading of Praying With Saint Paul, a Catholic collection of Reflections on the Letters of the Apostle, I was struck by the verses used for Aug 8th.
“Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of [...]
As I continue in my search for Christian understanding through Leviticus, chapter four tells us about the unintentional sin. We are still accountable for the sins we commit even when we did not intend to sin or when we were unaware that what we do is a sin. Just because we have come to Christ [...]
When it was pointed out to me that Leviticus was not the first name given to the third book of the Bible, I awakened a new concept of the purpose of the Law. The Hebrew names of the book is from the first line of the book; “Yahweh called Moses, and from the Tent [...]
