Redefined
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly…

Poetry: A Dangerous Life
A Dangerous Life I’m tired of safety and security Weary of my imitation purity I’d rather have a dangerous life I’d rather have a measure of strife If it brings me closer to you I want to sing a dangerous song And cast my fears aside I want to pray a dangerous prayer…

Poetry: The Thorn in My Side

The Right Kind of Righteousness: Unrighteous Anger
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. – James 1:19-20 (NIV) There is a lot of anger being thrown around today. We see it on our TV screens,…

Remembering September 11th and What Followed: A Moment of Honor and Nobility
Something I post every September 11th. Pray for peace. “But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground.
