Giving

July 22, 2008
I've been thinking a lot lately on the topic of giving, and it seems to me that how I often give is not very godly. There are many reasons to give, but usually how it goes for me is something like this: I go through my belongings to thin out what I…

Is shoveling rocks hard?

June 04, 2008
Last Saturday I was able to attend the Denver Rebelution conference with some friends, and it was a great experience. Alex and Brett have a good message, and I appreciated how their father provided a strong foundation of godliness for the whole…

Creation

April 21, 2008
