You Are What You Eat

My good friend Rachel posted an interesting video on our group chat. The video is of Tucker Carlson interviewing Dr. Casey Means explaining why she prays over her food.  She prays out of reverence and awe for its role in nourishing her body and mind. She believes the food she eats becomes her, affecting her cells, […]

Where You Started

Since my wife and I became disciples of Jesus in 2002, we have always sought to understand the true meaning of discipleship. According to the dictionary, a disciple is “one who follows the ideas or imitates the examples of another.” In the case of Jesus’ followers, we are those who seek to live according to […]

Love and Relationships

Love and Relationships – The Heart of the Organic Church Many Christians feel a lack of true connection and live as disconnected and isolated individuals despite attending churches. In the organic church, we are part of the same Body and members of one another. Here we can be ourselves, share our weaknesses, and find support. […]

A Tail of Three Dogs

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “Will my dog go to heaven?” My usual response focuses on the fact that there are horses in heaven so why not other animals, although I’m pretty sure cats will never make it. My last dog, Spencer, may have made it; he was a bit […]

Lost Earring

It’s the beginning of October 2024, only 33 days until the “big” election. At 65 years old, I’ve been through many election cycles but I’ve never seen this much angst within the Christian community. The majority of my friends are conservative and will vote Republican but they seem to have adopted a do-or-die attitude. They […]

I Will Diminish

On my way to a fellowship meeting last Sunday I did what I usually do, stop and grab a coffee at the McDonald’s Drive Thru. I enjoy a good cup of coffee and you can’t beat the price, especially if you have the app. When the young man handed me the coffee, I didn’t notice […]

Death of Pacifism

Recently, a friend invited me to a House Church meeting. I love connecting with other small groups so I was excited to visit. After a nice meal, one of the attendees began to talk about Germany during the Second World War. He asked a question about how the German church could have done things differently […]

Rad Dream

I recently reviewed and posted excerpts from Nexus, a 525 page book by Rad Zdero and another of his books, The Global House Church Movement. The text below is copied from a post of Rad from 2011. In a dream the Lord told him to “prepare for revival”. I believe it is important for individual […]

A.W. Tozer’s Final Warning

Several days after his death on May 12th, 1963, A.W. Tozer’s final thoughts were published. His article below has been abridged, you can easily find his complete article on-line. Let me state the cause of my burden. It is this: Jesus Christ has today almost no authority at all among the groups that call themselves […]

Trespasses and Sins

I found this article by John Fenn of CWOWI to be very insightful. Perhaps the single largest doctrinal error in Christian culture today revolves around the concept of forgiveness. What Jesus taught within the context of Jewish culture and Old Testament law is completely twisted by the modern church.   Paul stated in Ephesians 2:1: […]
