Love Jam 3: Kind

"Love is kind."

1 Corinthians 13:4

We're continuing this series on the attributes of love that the Apostle Paul describes in his first letter to the church in Corinth. In the first two posts, I talked a good deal about patience and the importance of waiting and being …

Love Jam 2: Patience "in the meantime"

"Love is patient."

1 Corinthians 13:4

Last week I introduced the concept of patience as the ability to be content with lack as you wait upon the Lord to bring you supply. Now I'd like to delve into some of the ramifications of this waiting period -- learning how to …

Obama: all eyes are on you

Dear Obama,

Well, you made it. You have pulled off a pretty incredible feat. You have already earned your place in history, but in order to secure and build upon this amazing accomplishment, I have one piece of advice for you:

Stay submitted.

First of all, I am not in a …

A Father's love

He delights in you! Thanks Perry for reminding us!

Love Jam 1: Patient

"Love is patient."

1 Corinthians 13:4

Here is take two of my first installment of the Love Jam series...the first take had no va-va-va voom! Somehow in the translation between my brain and the screen, the concepts I wanted to convey turned into greeting card …

Amazing testimony out of LifeChurch.tv

Check out what this guy went through and how God intervened supernaturally to change his life. It's amazing! I wish they'd include more of the details, but it's nevertheless an inspiration. No matter how far you've gone into the realms of darkness, God's light will …

Finding my voice

I was just about ready to post my first installment in the "Love Jam" series a couple of days ago, and then I realized that it sucked. It sounded like generic commentary pap and platitudes. It appears I need a little time to find my "authentic voice" and really get this …

A new series for a new year: Love Jam

Happy 2009! Welcome to my blog, whether you are a new reader or old. My posting has been very light as of late, for reasons I outlined in a previous post, but I feel like I have a mandate in my spirit now to jump-start Finite Calls Infinite for the new year and get back …

In defense of Rick Warren

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for …

Life around the holidays -- a year of many blessings!

As we head towards Christmas Day and New Year's, I feel blessed beyond words with all that the Lord has shown me and given to me this year. 2008 was prophesied to be the year of New Beginnings, and lo and behold it certainly was for me in many ways. If this sounds all …

A revelation of things present

Since the latter part of October, I have been strangely silent on this blog without giving an explanation why. It hasn't been for lack of news or insight, but rather a need for privacy. This is still necessary to a large extent, but I have been given the liberty and …

Happy Thanksgiving!

I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving day and good holiday cheer with friends and family. I am personally doing very well, and I hope to return to some semblance of a normal posting schedule in December and also let you know what's been going on in my life. In the …

Super Sabbath!

I have a new-found appreciation for the idea of a weekly Sabbath day. I haven't had a day to spend at home in peace and quiet, free from distractions, for probably a month or more! I'm not complaining, mind you -- lots of wonderful and exciting things have been going …

God is filled to overflowing with joy!

Editor's Note: I wrote this last Friday...

Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your …

Back from my many travels

I'm back in the office today, back in the saddle so to speak. Spent the last week and a half traveling to various Christian conferences and events, and lots been going on. I'll write more about it later. Certainly came back to interesting news -- President-Elect Obama! …

Behind the Curtain: Present Unveiled, Part 1

In the previous couple of posts in this series, I wrote a bit about the journey I've been on over the past few years. I was intending on continuing in short order with a further exposé of what was going on in my life right now and I what I felt God was calling me to …

Timing is everything

I thought it'd be a good idea to write something on the blog, considering how quiet I've been lately. It's not that I don't want to blog -- I do! -- but my personal life has been going through some major upheavals the past 2+ weeks, and it's stuff I can't really share …

Flew

The past few days have just flown by. It's been, uh, intense. I wish I could share more at the moment, but basically things have started changing all around me in a variety of surprising ways. But, in the midst of it all, God has been firmly in control, and I feel His …

Thanks, Dad

Thank you, Father in Heaven, for vindicating me; as I've laid my life down to honor you and have sought to obey your will and follow your leading, you have proven yourself time and time again to be worthy of my trust and my submission. I pray, Father, that I will …

"Plumbergate"

Now I've seen everything. *BANG* ...thud.

Feeling Plumber Fatigue, Media Turn on 'Joe'

Remind me again why I follow political news? The mainstream media is insane. Now I hope McCain wins if for no other reason than to thumb his nose at these goons at every opportunity.
