When I was in Amsterdam, working as a missionary with YWAM, a Christian music group came to the city to play at a place called "The Last Watering Hole." A number of us went to hear them play and support them in their mission. While we were there, a who was not a Christian light up a joint. Out of

There is another DNA project out there. It is called the International HapMap Project. The goal of the international HapMap Project is similar to 23 and Me, but instead of telling you who you are it seeks to go back into your history way back. You see the HapMap project is trying to isolate

Somebody once said that life was like an onion: you can peel off one layer at a time but as you do so, its juice gets into your eyes and causes your eyes to be filled with tears. There is something that is known as the trouble of life. I read a comment by one man of God called Matthew Henry.

Evil is still at work. Not all actions are of God. People often use “open door” theology to try to discern God’s will. We are presented with a choice and sometimes wait to see if one door closes. A new job opens up and we apply believing that if God wants me to have it then he will open up that

I HOPE THEY SEE HIM WHEN THEY SEE ME
I'll never forget Gary. He showed up on my doorstep in the late 90s. I opened the door to see a man wearing jeans with holes and smattered with paint. His shirt exposed arms covered in dust, but his smile was warm and friendly. He was a contractor. He didn't

"I don’t think anyone can ever be fully happy. If you’re fully happy then you’re a miserable person, because the grass is always greener on the other side--it has to be. I’m not saying I’m miserable--in fact I’m the happiest I’ve been for a long time, but I’m no happier than I

WHAT THE WORD "DWELLING IN US" LOOKS LIKE
I think Sam Storms, in his book on Colossians, describes well what it looks like for the word of Christ to dwell in us. He talks about the Scriptures calling out to us. "Don’t just read me," they seem to say. "Feast on me! Meditate! Ruminate! Saturate your

Have you seen the insurance commercial on TV that shows a talking pot hole? “Did I do that? Let me call someone for you! Oh, I don’t have a cellphone.” The talking pothole just causes problems and does nothing to fix them. People have built all sorts of roads: roads of commerce and conquest.
