This is another place where modern Human trips up. An indestructible life smacks of Superman and other “super heroes.” Miracles in general are not the food of modernity. We are all about logic and facts and evidence. But, I can only ask those who cannot fathom the miraculous, what if? Hebrews 7:14-16 For it is [...]

Who Do I See?

Can I be honest about what I see when I meet someone? I’d love to say my eyes go inside and seek out the “sacred other” but no, not usually. I’m still assessing the outer shell. It happens in a flash, whether it’s chewed down fingernails or Jimmy Choo shoes, my first impression rules the [...]
Onesimus Monday
Posted in Eastertide, tagged change, change agent, conversion, Easter, follower of Christ, follower of Jesus, love, Onesimus, Paul, Philemon, prisoner, transformation, way of Jesus on April 25, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It’s hard to change and then return to one’s old environment. So often, acquaintances and even family can’t see the metamorphosis, or they resist the transformation, or worse, they treat the person as though nothing has happened. It’s obvious, if Onesimus changes, then so must they. Philemon 10-12 I appeal to you for my son [...]
Foolish Controversies

Sometimes it’s not worth engaging in discussions that will go nowhere, particularly if people are getting upset and defensive. No one gains. If anything, more is said than should have been said and the controversy escalates. I have seen this happen a hundred times. I’m done. Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and [...]
Holy Spirit Soap
Posted in Lent, tagged born again, change, cleansing, Holy Spirit, new life, Paul, rebirth, renewal, saved, starting over, Titus, transformation, washing on April 23, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Starting over. That’s what rebirth and renewal are all about. Starting over. The trick is getting the right stuff, the right soap, for washing away the crap. Despite all good intentions, there’s only One soap that works: the suds and bubbles of the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:4-5 But when the kindness and love of God [...]
10,000 Reminders

How often do we need to remind someone? In my house, we must remind teenagers every day (and more than once a day) to clean the cat box, empty the trash, and put the dishes in the dishwasher. And how many more times if we added, “choose what is good today.” Titus 3:1-2 Remind the [...]
