So I spend my mornings drinking coffee, trying to translate ancient Hebrew, and finding new apps for my iPod touch. And I find myself wondering today what I will do with what I study. I know that I need to use what God has given me to further His kingdom. And as I review what [...]

Feeling Better Already

So I know I asked you to ask me last night. But I have to say I am feeling so refreshed now from my quiet times. Not because I have managed to do them for 2 consecutive days (which is an accomplishment) but because I have managed to not give them a time limit. Twice [...]

I suck at quiet times. I get them started, then I fall off. Normally I would make excuses about how busy I am, or how I can never find something to study or be worth my while. Etc. etc. etc… It is very lame. So I have started again. And I need your help. I [...]

God as a Product
June 21st, 2008 · No Comments · Christianity, Church, God, Theology
Sometimes I feel like when I am trying to explain who God is, I am the stereotypical East-Indian customer service representative trying to speak what I think is perfect English to someone who is hearing it with extreme difficulty and irritation. Its like I have a Christian accent… and it is thick. So everything I [...]

I read a book once called “Who You Are When No One’s Looking” by Bill Hybels… It is a book on Character. About being real, to yourself, and to others. I post a decent amount of stuff on this blog, but not about what is going on with me I think. So here is the [...]

What is it about Christianity that makes you like it? Turn towards it? That gives you hope? Mine? There is nothing to profit in material gain on earth or after. It is the most humble faith. There are no virgins waiting for me, no planetoid, no sense of elitism, there is just worshiping God. Christianity [...]

Elijah at Mount Carmel. (1 Kings 18) It would be yet later in the days, when Israel was well into its kingships, that there would come a time for God to reveal himself before his people again. It was a time when the king of Israel, Ahab, had gone off to follow Jezebel and the [...]

The Capture of the Ark of the Covenant (1 Samuel 4-7)It would be much later on when Israel has established itself as a people looking to God for direction through his priests and prophets that the next triumphant act of God would happen. It will however have been one to show that God has no [...]
