Putting on Christ in a Real Way

“But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.”—Romans 13:14
 My guess is that many Christians are familiar with this verse. Some may be doing it. Most are probably not (just calling it how I see it). I say this because I know for a fact I [...]

Recently a dear friend whom I’ve known for a few years moved away to Knoxville, Tennessee (Go Vols!). He is a fun guy who hosted a Bible Study at his house. I attended for the past couple years and truly grew as a result of it.
About a year ago I realized I am a Calvinist. [...]

My job requires me to travel a lot.  As cool as that sounds, it’s not always so great.  You see, I’ve got a great church back home and amazing Christians friends that I miss when I’m away.  The lack of Christian accountability and fellowship can be hard to handle.  In fact, my travels are sometimes a detriment [...]

Is sexual sin really the issue, or does it go deeper?  “How should Christian men and women go about breaking free from the bondage of sexual sin?” is the fifth question posed to Pastor Mark Driscoll, as he continues preaching in Religion Saves: And Nine Other Misconceptions.

In between my seventh and eighth grade school years, as part of a program called People to People, I traveled to the United Kingdom with approximately 3o other junior high students as a ”Student Ambassador”. Since this trip took place almost ten years ago, I remember little about the trip.
I remember some of the historic venues [...]

Gods Leading Hand

July 27, 2010 Bible Study

It is as if man is destined for corruptness. God raises up a man that is pious and right in his ways, He gives him the power of leadership, a vision and a dream to work towards to steer the people straight. That dream, unfortunately, lives for that one man, as [...]

The Gospel Simplified

July 23, 2010 Community

Note:  Unlike the previous two posts, this is NOT from my eventual book “What Does The Gospel Say About Sports?”
This week I’ve been teaching a group of 30 Chinese exchange students a contextualized English language. Basically, what I mean is that I’ve been trying to teach them English in a way they can actually use [...]

A Brief Thelogy of Sports

July 21, 2010 Books

The temptation when writing on a subject such as sports is to take just the verses that apply directly and interpret them literally and expand from them. The main verses come from Paul when in First Corinthians 9:25 he says “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable reward.” [...]

My Initial Post

July 20, 2010 Books

Hi everybody,
I’m new to this site. In fact, this is my first true blog. I’ve written for some websites before, but it was more informational. I wrote for a site called Bleacher Report for awhile, but that as the name probably implies, was about sports. This is my first time writing about Christ on a [...]

Thumbnail image for I Saw a Sunset

This is a photo that I took in Seattle, WA working on a research vessel in the Puget Sound lake.  Amazing, isn’t it?  Look at how many different colors stream across the sky.  Off to the left, you can see the silhouette of the mountains.  Gorgeous!
Why do we admire scenes like this?  What is it [...]
