Though not directly the Bible, I am following-up my previous post, and am blogging my reading. Here are some excerpts from David Platt’s book Follow Me: “tell Ayan the truth…in the gospel, God is calling her to die. Literally. To die to her life. To die to her family. To die to her friends. To die […]
Many people view adoptions (like my wife and I are pursuing right now) as a “rescue” – you’re “rescuing” an orphan from some third world country where they’ll die of starvation, illness, or neglect, and giving them a warm, loving, nurturing home in America! No. That is not what happens when you adopt. And not […]

In addition to the semi-regular book reviews I do on my main blog, I am planning to blog as I read the Bible, as well. Perhaps not every day – but I’d like to share some of the thoughts and/or connections that bounce into my head as I go.

Due to new privacy rules from our partner agencies, and concerns over general program safety, adoption updates can’t be “public” anymore.

In follow-up to my last comment on my regular Bible study, we have finished the book of Matthew. In January 2014 we start Daniel!
Jesus did not say go make churches. He said go make disciples. If you are not making disciples, are your failing your Christ? Church is natural when disciples are made. It’s not a place – it’s body. Bodies don’t get made – they are crafted, built, nurtured, fed, and grown. If you think people get saved in church, you’re […]
There is probably no more fundamental aspect of a person’s life, outlook, and opinion base than his weltanschauung – his worldview.
