Here’s what The Boss mentioned in the morning meeting today (Ezekiel 13)… He said, “I’m angry with people who prophesy out of their own hearts; who sew magic bands upon all wrists, and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in the hunt for souls! … I will not stand for it! […]
You want to be accepted. Actually, you crave far more than mere acceptance. You yearn to be celebrated! When a 7 year old says to their parents, “Watch this!” The reaction they long for is, “WOW! That’s fantastic! That’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen! You’re amazing!!” We NEVER “outgrow” this! Matter of fact, […]
I was reading about Christmas this morning. It was disturbing! There was this pregnant lady crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth (i.e. a not-so-silent night of INTENSE labor!).

Egypt’s princes are utterly foolish; and the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. Egypt’s ‘wise men’ will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds, as a […]
PROTECTING SELF As they were coming home, when David returned from striking down the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments.And the women sang to one another as they celebrated, “Saul has struck down […]
The best trilogy of all time!? LoR? BTTF? Batman [Begins, TDK, TDKR]? Toy Story? The Godfather? Bourne? Austin Powers? The answer is… CS Lewis’ Space Trilogy. Perhaps some of you will disagree with this, but hear me out. The least you can do is read Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, & That Hideous Strength […]
I was lead climbing with AK 2 weeks ago and he asked me, “Have you read the book How to Stay Married by Harrison Scott Key?” I said, “Luke Fawcett told me about HSC awhile back, and I devoured two of his memoirs! I especially enjoyed The World’s Largest Man (the memoir about his dad). […]
