8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Thursday, April 30, 2009. The World’s Worst City. I haven't traveled all over the world, but I've travelled a little bit. I've been all over North America, I've been in South America, I've been in Africa, and I've been in Europe. This doesn't make me an expert, but it qualifies me to pick a clear winner in my "worst cities" list: Las Vegas. It's a city devoted completely ...

8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Monday, June 22, 2009. My Double Life: A Twitter Dilemma. So here's a dilemma that didn't exist before I became a Christian and before my good friend Twitter came into my life:. I'm on Twitter as @MJThelander. As a closet Christian songwriter I follow bands like Kutless. And artists like Kathryn Scott. I follow Christian thinkers and writers like William Paul Young. But I...

8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Sunday, July 5, 2009. Adventures in Missing the Point. Actually, a great day in church all the way around: relatively few screw-ups in the worship set, great choice of tunes, a moment of quiet transcendence. it was good. Aaron's message was good, but. Instead I see Jesus' message as being an emphatically HERE and NOW message. Matthew 11:4 was used today to extensively...

8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Monday, May 25, 2009. Joie and I had a semi-theological discussion yesterday. (Dangerous, I know, for husbands and wives! To understand how amazing this is, you have to know a little about our different ways of faith. Where Joie has in the past tended to be non-critical of scripture ("It says what it says, why try to read more into it? By Gullley and Mulholland. This ...

8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Friday, May 8, 2009. On Faith vs. Religion. I came across an interesting article today. It's from US News and World Report and the headline reads, Many Americans Are Saying Goodbye to Religion, but Not Faith. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The article says in one place:. Good question. The answer I've found for myself on this question is here, from James 2:16-18:. But s...

8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Friday, October 24, 2008. I wrote a song. It's not a great song. I'm not even sure I'd call it a good. Song but it's a heartfelt song. It's a song of praise to God Our Father. I listen to this and I hear where I'm flat, or where I sliiiiide.

A Stumbling Christian: Notes on The Shack

8220;What saves us is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but we have to take it.” - Antoine de St Exupery. Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Notes on The Shack. So, I should just fess straight up: I'm a big fan of The Shack. If - let's just suppose for a moment- the entirety of human history can be described. As our endeavor to know and understand the nature, the essence, the heart of God. then I'd say The Shack was equivalent. To at least one of the books of the Bible. We're all on a...
