Helena has made two points that I want to address in this observation. <QUOTE author="HelenaZF,Dec 7 2009, 09:18 AM">HelenaZF,Dec 7 2009, 09:18 AM Wrote:Songs that are too theologically complica...

Hi ho the derry-oh, a-rambling I will go! I’ve been reading a book that will remain unnamed, at least until I finish it. It’s about a contextual Jesus through the eyes of what seems to be a liberal...

Prelude: Because our Bishop’s chosen sermon topic was to speak about "The Last Word on the Jews", including issues surrounding the Jewish people and by relation, Israel and Jerusalem, he offered to le...

Who is the church FOR? Easy question. The church is for believers in Messiah, period. That was the major issue that lots of folks had with the whole seeker thing. When church is turned into a multi...

“What’s the Church For, Anyhow?” Dean Thomas – October 16, 2009 A woman at work asked me the question recently, one of those that deserved an answer. I asked for time to consider my response becau...

Welcome, Gabriel! We're glad to have you here. Glad to hear your excitement for the things of the Lord and for opportunities to minister. There are lots of folks who read here, some who write. Lots...

This is intended to be a series on the streams themselves, expanding on what has been said already, I'm sure. =============================================== We talk a lot about three streams and we...

One of my all-time favorite books is former shepherd Philip Keller’s A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23. It was early in my Christian walk, in my first very spiritually aware state. It was a huge revelation...

What a weekend!! Helena & I were invited for a time of R&R with friends in Northern Virginia, not far from Washington, DC and who attend church in the Baltimore area. As we planned for that ti...

From a practical standpoint, I think I disagree with Helena. There are some really great new "bombs" that you can use that are NOT poisonous to humans. I feel as though you have to take an offensive p...

We had such a great service today, with several inferences to God’s gift of America to us, and what our forefathers provided for us. The songs, readings, and sermon were all peppered with references t...

We had a nice service today, a combination of celebration of what God has given us as Americans and what He has given us as believers. There were several “aha” moments for me in the service. You know ...

We had a word of exhortation this morning in our service. An interesting word. It came after singing Robin Mark’s “Revival”. Part of the chorus was the illustration for the word. Quote:I can hear that...

Good words here!! We had something spoken on Wednesday evening past that fits here, too. It was a marvelous bit of wisdom brought by a man who himself had received it from someone else who had rece...

Is it the idol of the clock? The tyranny of time? The onus of the oven's siren call to lunch? Deep soaking times of worship, times of exquisitely high praise where lives are changed for eternity an...

The sun has set, the day is done; the omers have been counted, and the anticipation was well rewarded. Pentecost 2009 has been thoroughly celebrated in our congregation here in the greater Kansas City...

It's another of those questions that's been swirling around in my head for a couple of weeks. :hamster: At what level is fantasy okay and when is it sin? When does imagination and make believe move to...

Well, if you look at the dates, you know it's well beyond tomorrow night. :doghouse: People of the Power. What does that mean and what does it look like? What doesn't it look like? New Testame...

This is still a work in progress, but here's the grist of it. For whatever reason, it seems as though the Feast of First Fruits is pretty much lost in the mix of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And ...

TESTIMONY TIME!!! This is the most of the email that I got from my friend Tom about the results of the march discussed above. Thought you'd like to read it. It was a faith builder for all of them, ...

I've got this thing bubbling up in me and I'm going to try and type my way through it to see if I can get it to make sense. I'm studying the feasts of the Lord all over again, looking at them from ...

I offered this as the first in a series of classes on the calendar that God established for the tribes of Israel. It was shared with the adult Sunday School class at Church of the King on 3/29/2009. ...

I had a very interesting conversation with a friend recently. He is a younger man and a fairly new worship leader; he had heard tales of what used to be called Jericho Marches, especially within the P...
