The most important new beginning any of us will ever have is the beginning of our new lives with God.

A New Thing (Numbers 27)
Maybe we have a generic idea of what it looks like to be a Christian. Go to church every week. Buy a highlighter and use it in your Bible. Volunteer at a soup kitchen?
But what if God wanted to do a new thing in your faith walk?
New Year, New Confidence (Numbers 12)
Summary: A brand new year. Not just a new year, a brand new decade is standing before us, fresh and clean, ready to be lived. How does it make you feel? I always start wondering about what the new year will bring. What will make me laugh? What will I cry over? What will scare … Continue reading New Year, New Confidence (Numbers 12)
A Traditional Family Man (Genesis 48)
Summary: The patriarchy. It's the popular societal paradigm of yesteryear. We are entering a new era, and you can tell from all the bold and boisterous cries against the patriarchy. These days, men don't rule the world. Tradition does not rule the world. Women and minorities and nontraditional people everywhere are asserting their right to … Continue reading A Traditional Family Man (Genesis 48)
Going On An Adventure (Genesis 46)

It was like praise dancing, only the movements that I and the rest of the group executed were (grammatically incorrect) American Sign Language that (should have) reflected the words of a gospel song. I remember how sometimes we would … Continue reading Blessings Are Not For The Faint Of Heart (Genesis 33)
Oh, The Places You’ll Go (Genesis 25)
Summary: Children are fascinating to me. Especially around the ages of ten, eleven, and twelve, kids are really coming into their own. They're still fairly innocent, not yet super moody, but they're exploring their own interests and hobbies. Looking at them, I wonder how their lives will turn out for them as they grow up. … Continue reading Oh, The Places You’ll Go (Genesis 25)
Ballin’ (Genesis 23)
Summary: One of my favorite genres of music is Christian rap/hip-hop. It cracks me up. Don't get me wrong, some Christian hip-hop artists write really good music, especially these days. But there are some songs, circa 2009 and earlier, whose lyrics and delivery just have me rolling. So many of them sound like they're trying … Continue reading Ballin’ (Genesis 23)
