Good Friday…

“Tonight” by Jeremy Camp…

most who know me, know that I don’t have the most immense love for most christian music. It’s either so repetitive, void of any real life stories (everything is great and wonderful all the time, or if it’s not – it will be in like an hour… yeah right), or… never mind, this post is [...]

a pointed question from a friend – (and being away for a month)…

A friend asked me the other day… “Hey Chris… are you grateful and at peace for where you are now in ministry with people who love you, believe in you and are willing to let you lead and pastor…. or are you bitter, hurt or disappointed at those from past jobs/ministries about how they didn’t [...]

thoughts on “Jesus Loves You…” by Craig Gross and Jason Harper – PART 3

I find myself wanting to advocate justice for the hurting and pronouncing judgment on the religious. in this, i have become the very thing i despise… I am quick to offer grace to the rebellious and wayward. but i am slow in offering to the religious, if i offer it at all. yet i must. [...]

thoughts on “Jesus Loves You…” by Craig Gross and Jason Harper – PART 2

I find it interesting and completely hypocritical that some yell the loudest about this area of culture, all the while ignoring other blatant cultural atrocities. Why pick on this sin as opposed to others? I have never seen picket signs and petitions protesting overeating or gossip or adultery. Most won’t find it too shocking to [...]

thoughts on “Jesus Loves You…” by Craig Gross and Jason Harper – PART 1

Doesn’t matter what you do or who you are: Jesus. Loves. You. And there’s the summery of the book. See ya!! Just kidding… well in a way I am. I wanted to pull a few quotes and thoughts from the book I liked (and make a few comments if needed), but essentially that is it [...]

The passing of Brittany Murphy

Just a quick post… Was pretty bummed to see Brittany Murphy passed away. She was one of my favorite actresses. Really enjoyed “Clueless“, “Just Married” and “8 Mile” the best of all her films. Sad to see her go. “Just Married” was probably my favorite of all (“Clueless” is pretty close though), I laughed so [...]

Where do you start when sharing your story…?

Image by Rennett Stowe via Flickr When you share your story (if you ever do) with others… where do you start? Do you begin with childhood? Or you’re favorite memory? Or you’re darkest moment? Or somewhere else? Now, thinking about those who are Christians reading this… where do you start your story (or testimony for [...]
