Longing to Know that I Need Him Every Hour
November 22, 2010
Almost a year ago, just before Christmas, we were hit with blizzard winds and snow here in Bolingbrook. Stephnie and I decided to have worship here, in the confines of our home with our just-from-college-returned son, and pre-c0llege daughter rather than brave the chill of winter and another visit to a church that is not … More Longing to Know that I Need Him Every Hour

I am away at a seminar in Georgia for the next 3 days and so I am re-posting something from my old blog related to my thinking going into the … More The One Magnificent One – What Worship is All About
Worship is What We Were Made For
August 12, 2010
This morning I was reflecting on the NT view of worship and how radically different it is from conceptions of worship in the OT. Jesus truly made a seismic shift in the worship patterns of the Church. In the OT worship was about a place (the Temple), and the materials (incense, birds, lambs, bulls etc.), … More Worship is What We Were Made For

He had murdered multiple times in multiple cities but the gospel declared that even murders and … More Reading of Old Joy

The Music of the Heart of God?
July 9, 2010
Friday is for Heart Songs . . . . . A man reading a newspaper saw a photo of birds chillin’ on electric wires laid out like sheet-music. He tried playing the birds as if they were notes. This is what it sounds like. The delight to me is that only God knew until a … More The Music of the Heart of God?
