Last year we started hosting a bible study at our house. It started with a few people, and the original plan was to focus on college students. But over the course of the year, we’ve started to realize that it wasn’t for the college students, but instead, God was calling us to be involved in [...]
Jesus tells a parable about a widow who constantly goes to a judge to get some justice. The judge finally agrees, only because he couldn’t bear the annoyance anymore. Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2 He said: “In a [...]
As you read Luke, especially those times when Jesus is speaking, you get a very distinct picture of how sharp and pointed his statements are. In Luke 12 and even parts of 13, we see Jesus telling his disciples to be ready, to be on their guard for the return of the Master. We will [...]
Father into your hands I commit my spirit. Luke 23:46 All the events leading up to Jesus crucifixion and burial was one of denial, betrayal, torture, shame… Jesus died for the sins of those who laughed at him, taunted him and rejected him. Man, I do not know him… Prophesy! Who hit you?… He saved [...]

Just began our six week look into the Prodigal God series. Are you the older brother or the younger brother? We yearn for a true elder brother… to welcome us home. Luke 15
Last night’s bible study was on wealth. We looked at how Proverbs points us to be better stewards of the resources God has given us. One question that really made me think was how was my wife and I leaving a legacy for my children’s children. Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance to [...]
So after reading Proverbs, I think having a PLAN is our top priority. I’ve created this acronym: PRAYER, LEARNING, ACCOUNTABILITY, NURTURE. We’ll focus on these aspects and continue to build up spiritually our walk with God, our walk with family, our walk with friends/church, our walk with work/mission in life. What ways have you planned [...]
My wife and I had an interesting time with a sister in Christ. It was one of those teen agnst mixed with identity with Christian growth sprinkled in with family drama. But one thing that I am realizing is that as sons and daughters of Christ we are a long way off from what/where God [...]
As October ends, we continue in a pretty solid pattern. We have bible reading with the family around 9PM. Just about everyone is ready for bed and it is a good time to settle down. The occasional out day and bible study nights will push this later, but usually around nine and ten has been [...]
