Monday, January 30, 2012. SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES - Fast. FASTING - Spiritual Discipline #3. Fasting is an act of humility. As we rely on GOD'S STRENGTH!

Throughout Scripture fasting refers to abstaining from food for spiritual purposes. At the start of his ministry.

ONE SCOOT FORWARD: December 2013

http://onescootforward.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 30, 2013. A walk in the park. To start the 2012 New Year, I joined a handful of others and jumped in the pacific ocean. Ya, not that great of a feat, considering on previous New Years I’ve jumped in Lake Washington. But none the less – it was still invigorating and a fun way to launch into the New Year. As of yet, I haven’t decided what this New Year will entail? I’m not sure what will signify the start of 2014. Over the past few months I’ve thought a lot about the word “holi...We all kn...

ONE SCOOT FORWARD: immigration, meaning, perspective

http://onescootforward.blogspot.com/2014/01/immigration-meaning-perspective.html

Monday, January 27, 2014. Immigration, meaning, perspective. He had been detained. He was in an immigration holding facility. He was awaiting a decision, a direction. When I dialed my phone that day (just about 2 weeks ago) I had no idea who I was calling, or what was going on in their lives. This is often the case isn’t it? Sometimes this is even the case with longtime friends. Sometimes even the case with family. For it is within our daily interactions with one another that we find meaning. A liste...

We talk about the things that are of most interest. We share that which we are most excited about. Throughout the Gospel of Mark,. And the people get excited. Jesus then tells them to “tell no one”. But how can they not? They all go and tell! In our text this morning…. Mark 16:6-7 “. He is risen from the dead!

Monday, July 30, 2012. 5th Sundays : Worship through Action. Sundays : Worship through Action. Yesterday was our second 5. At Beach Cities Christian Fellowship where I pastor, yesterday we gathered for worship outside. More time and energy went into our Sunday gathering than normal. We certainly spent more money as we threw a Neighborhood Cook-Out which featured: free food, live music from local singer/songwriters, two jump houses and crafts for kids. 5th Sundays can consist of: picking up trash around t...

ONE SCOOT FORWARD: Big BOX

http://onescootforward.blogspot.com/2014/01/big-box.html

Monday, January 6, 2014. We hear this term a lot in our culture. Big Box. Big Box stores have popped up everywhere. At times we’re inclined to visit them simply because they hold so much of what we “need.”. Sometimes it’s kind of comical to read posts from friends after they visit Target or Costco. I’ve read facebook posts like: “wow, I got out of Target for under $100” or “why do I go into Target to get one thing, and come out 15? Wish I could just come in and get only one thing.”. Novel feat, right!

ONE SCOOT FORWARD: intuition or something more?

http://onescootforward.blogspot.com/2014/02/intuition-or-something-more.html

Monday, February 3, 2014. Intuition or something more? Since I was already in the car, had already paid for the books that accompanied the conference, and had to pick-up the books at the event – I pressed on. I arrived to the venue, found a seat, and did my best to wrap my attention around what was being shared. To my surprise, my attention was quickly averted (and not by my doing)! Before lunch my wife called. My son’s preschool called. He broke his arm. And what role does it play? Subscribe to: Post Co...
