Forks in the Road
In our daily walk with Christ we often tempted to sin. That sin comes in many disguises but it always comes down to choosing something over God. Even though the sin might be most directly against another person, it is ultimately an offense against God. It helps me to visualize things in a way that is familiar to my everyday life. In this case I visualized these occurrences (temptations to...
Read MoreShoes and Evangelism
I think it has been pretty clear recently that I have been enjoying some new shoes. No worries, people. This is not another post about my Vibram FiveFingers but it is a post inspired by them.

Read MoreThe Book of Eli: Themes and Spoilers
This is the second part of my review of The Book of Eli. The first part is a little more technical and this one delves more into the themes I found in the movie. Danger: Spoilers lie ahead!

He says that any sin is, at its core, unbelief in God. And belief in God is not just an acknowledgement of fact but an appetite created by the fact. And if you are hungry for something you will seek it out, feast on...
Read MoreHappy Old Year 2009
Picture from www.colorcubic.com Well folks, it is that time again. Out with the old and in with the new. 2009 is done and gone, our actions (or inactions) sealed away forever by the sands of time. The only thing we can change is what is to come. So by all means look forward, make resolutions, and plan for the future. I will join you in a moment. But before I do I want to take a glance...
