Foo Fighters are playing in Detroit tonight. I keep seeing people wearing Foo Fighters t-shirts and I can’t help but think of this clip from the film, PCU:

“Don’t be that guy!”

I will never cease being fascinated by intellectual hypocrisy.

I think that many pastors do not think deeply enough about the ramifications of the incarnation. It’s something that can be so easily left in orthodoxy that we think not about the impact of it for orthopraxy.

The #OldGal just keeps on solving words and won’t let me win. I wonder if a #YoungPup can score a two today?

What is something that you have learned about yourself recently?

I am learning that I need predictable patterns in my life. I do much better with structure and predictability.

So, I really need to figure out how to create some more significant structure in my life.

Blind Spot

Auto-generated description: A large eye is set against a dark background with crosses and accompanied by the text Believing is Seeing, Believing is Life – The Gospel of John Sermon Series.

Listen to the unabridged sermon here: Blind Spots

John 7–9

We’re taking a big swing this week β€” three chapters at once, John 7, 8, and 9. It’s a lot of ground, but these chapters actually hang together as one connected sermon of their own. John gives us a point, then an illustration. Another point, another illustration. Two claims from Jesus, two stories that show us what those claims mean in real life. And all of it happens against the backdrop of one specific moment: Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.

Finished reading: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros πŸ“š

This was an entertaining, coming of age, story. Plus it has dragons… so that’s fun.

It was a bit more risquΓ© than my usual read. Those scenes were easily skipped though…

β€œYou have heard that it was said, β€˜Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.β€œ - Jesus

The radical nature of this statement has been so thoroughly lost on those of us who claim to follow Jesus.

It doesn’t matter if we are conservative or progressive.

We tend to create reasons why we are allowed to do the opposite.

My first lift in 93 days. The loss in strength is disappointing. The real disappointment is in my lack of commitment to the plan.

Back at it.
