Abraham Worshiped
I will be looking at Abraham and worship in a prayer series I am starting next Sunday. Abraham is all God. We never know exactly why God chose Abraham, which is the point of this being an act of grace and mercy in the story of redemption. Still, Abraham is incredibly responsive to the One who called him. The constant factor in…

The Door Standing Open in Heaven
Once the visions really start pounding away at John in Revelation, one key thing to look for is the consistent view into heaven. This is where all the craziness begins. Before the Lord shows John the visions, he shows him what is going on in heaven. It is WORSHIP. It is putting all the attention on the Lamb. It is…

The Great I Am

The Privilege of Living Dead
As I am challenging myself with John Wesley’s work on entire sanctification, I am meeting incredible people who live out the heart of Wesley’s message on a daily basis. They are people I can’t even name on a website because of the sensitive work they do. Their call is incredible. One organization challenging the Christian community with reaching the unreached…

Sunday
Sometimes we may get asked about our excitement for Sunday. Sometimes I get asked about why I am excited for Sunday above other days, or excited for the Church on a Sunday when the other days are just as important. Others days are important. But the Lord’s Day is simply a highlight and Chittister’s quote sums it up quite nicely…
