All-powerful. All-knowing. Eternal. Creator of the universe, and everything that is in it. Eternal. Perfect. Just. Merciful. Loving. God of the Angel Armies. (my personal favorite, obviously.) All of these would describe, in the view of the vast majority of the world, the God of the universe. He is also called Yahweh, and has called himself “I AM.” If […]

Authority
Being a military guy, I love the account of the Centurion in Matthew 8:5-10: When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering.” Jesus said to him, “I will go and heal him.” The centurion replied, “Lord, I […]
This Is It!
So here’s the deal… “We’re done!” We can no longer sit in our safe, secure suburban life and watch the world from our armchair. We can’t sit idly by while an entire African generation is wiped out due to AIDS, leaving an orphan epidemic. Neither can we sit by while another American generation becomes video […]

The Opposite of a Mid-Life Crisis
I’ve had a few interesting reactions recently and people questioning our decision to give up our secure Air Force life and make such a drastic lifestyle change, and it made me think… Some may look at this like a mid-life crisis of sorts, like we’re selling all of our belongings or going on a round-the-world trip, […]
Battle Cry
There was a great passage read in chapel today, one that gives us here renewed strength, confidence, and security. I went back and took a look at The Message paraphrase version, it’s even better, a true battle cry. Psalms 118:5-16 Pushed to the wall, I called to God; from the wide open spaces, he answered. […]
A New Generation of Christianity
“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.” -Victor Hugo I have recently (okay, for about the last 3 or 4 years) been reading, learning, and changing my paradigm concerning the church.
