My Back Porch: Biblical Christianity
http://mybackporch.blogspot.com/2009/08/biblical-christianity.html
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name." Malachi 3:16. Friday, August 14, 2009. He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." Jim Elliot. Are we really willing to come to Christ on His terms? If these are the rules of the relationship, are we really willing to play the game? Pick up your cross. Acknowledge that you a...

My Back Porch: Comfort
http://mybackporch.blogspot.com/2009/10/comfort.html
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name." Malachi 3:16. Thursday, October 29, 2009. There is so much truth and so many lessons in that phrase. As I seek to live a dangerously obedient life, I find that many times I ask the question, "did God really ask me to do this? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

My Back Porch: My Story
http://mybackporch.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-story.html
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name." Malachi 3:16. Saturday, February 6, 2010. I was asked by an old friend to share my story with her. Here is what I wrote. You know what. The God I thought I knew did not exist. I thought I was to honor a distant God who was waiting for me to make a mistake. One that was far away and not likely to ...I believe...

My Back Porch: Does God really care what I am doing?
http://mybackporch.blogspot.com/2010/02/does-god-really-care-what-i-am-doing.html
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name." Malachi 3:16. Saturday, February 6, 2010. Does God really care what I am doing? Is God the type of creator that creates and then steps back to watch? Does He have a perfect plan for your life? Perhaps He has a generalized will, as expressed through His word, but leaves the moment by moment details up to us.

My Back Porch: We were soldiers once, and young.

Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name." Malachi 3:16. Monday, February 15, 2010. We were soldiers once, and young. I just finished watching We Were Soldiers. I have always believed I was raising warriors. From the earliest days of their lives I have felt God's call on their lives for soldier like service. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

ENJOYING THE VIEUX!: March 2008
http://gregwilton.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a French Quarter minister. Wednesday, March 5, 2008. Sometimes I think God is naughty. Sometimes I think God is naughty. Now I know God is not naughty but actually supremely wise and sovereign, yet I can’t help but think that. Some say God lets evil happen, and some believe God is nothing but wrathful. And why shouldn’t they? But one night my mom caught me. My mom is a very proper and polite mom who grew up in South Africa and talks with an English accent as if she has a hot potato in her mo...

ENJOYING THE VIEUX!: February 2008
http://gregwilton.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a French Quarter minister. Saturday, February 2, 2008. Day 1 Part 2 Vieux Carre Mardi Gras. After Joelle left, Ricky and I found a new strength that only God could provide. We felt so refreshed to know that God brought that conversation to us, and we could be ourselves, and that Jesus was still proclaimed and that we never compromised the message. It's especially tough to do so when everyone in New Orleans wants His love but not his righteousness, his mercy but not his justice. And speaking ...

ENJOYING THE VIEUX!: May 2008
http://gregwilton.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Ramblings of a French Quarter minister. Monday, May 26, 2008. Dr King's thoughts on the Vietnam War. In light of a class I'm currently taking (Intro to Christian Ethics), and in light of some discussion during class, and in light of the recent war taking place in Iraq, I came across a message by Dr. King called "Beyond Vietnam." I've posted some of the speech and I'll give the link to the entire message. What then can I say to the Vietcong or to Castro or to Mao as a faithful minister of this One? My bro...

My Back Porch: Becoming offended
http://mybackporch.blogspot.com/2010/02/becoming-offended.html
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name." Malachi 3:16. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Oh to be able to just keep my mind focused on my own business. Does it really matter if someone is treating me unfairly in their own mind? Do I really need to be my own champion all the time to fight for justice and equity? Is it so terrible to be disliked? Should nev...
