Stop Apologizing for God

Awhile ago, in my blog post A Call to Something More I discussed some prophetic words Tozer said to the church then that have become our reality I was asked to share some of them and this is the second.  In a sermon series (now book) titled And He Dwelt Among Us, Tozer brought up the issue of apologizing for God and hinted to where this could lead. He said: "The One who created all things, including the ground on which we stand...

Who Needs Who?

  A few days ago, I felt led to write this post on A Call to Something More.  I literally agonized over this post for 2 weeks in thinking about it, then 4 days in editing it.  Now, as I promised at the end of that post I will embark in unpacking some of Tozer's prophetic and heart piercing quotes that many people ignored back when he said them and we ignore still. "God does not need anything, because when you give God anything,...

LENT 2013

  Sadly, this picture can be how my son and daughter see me and I confess it is more me (by like a gazillion) than my wife.     I love to portray myself as a really good Daddy and I think in a lot of ways I am a pretty decent Daddy but here is where I fail: I am distracted by my phone...a lot!   My wife posted a blog on her Facebook the other day that struck such a chord with me that I felt the pain of being the person the...

Sojourn: Days 30 and 31

 Well, the end is nigh!  I've officially to date lost 29 pounds, saved over $150 in excess food and have not cheated!   As I reflect on all I've learned, I see that there is still so much to be learned and so many more sacrifices to be made in order to continue to support the efforts of great people like Chris Coakley and Danny Yourd.   Tomorrow, I will celebrate with a Nutella and Peanut Butter Toast "sandwich" and a tall...
