My daughter is has started reading the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books. I loved those books growing up. It made you feel like you controlled the story (always good for a kid). The book of Acts ends like one of those books. “Boldly and without hindrance he preached the [...[...]

Deadliest Catch (Acts 27)
For my fellow Discovery Channel aficionados, the Northwestern is my favorite because I like the captain, Sig. For all the girls reading this blog I might have to explain. My favorite TV show is The Deadliest Catch. These men go out on the “vast bearing sea” facing 50 foot waves and 10[...]

How many licks does it take…(Acts 26)
Do you remember the tootsie roll lollipop commercial where the boy asked how many licks it took to get to the center? If you do, then I guarantee you spent some time counting every lick until you knew how long it takes. I never had the patience for it. I would [...][...]

All this is about Jesus?…(Acts 25)
Did you ever work yourself up to a big expectation just to be disappointed? A few years ago I went to Washington, DC for the first time, and toured the Smithsonian Museum. Among its priceless items is the hope diamond. As soon as you walked into the building, signs were pointing you to the diamo[...]

Welcome to Moe’s…(Acts 24)
Welcome to Moe’s! I love to hear those words because it means I am at Moe’s Southwest Grill (www.moes.com) where I am about to chow down on a couple of fish tacos. I just love the environment at Moe’s. It’s loud, fast, and you get to randomly yell, “Welcome to Moe[...]

Organized Chaos (Acts 23)
Some of us revel in chaos, and some of us drown in it. Chaos can seem totally against the way God intends life to be, and yet chaos continues. (don’t worry, I am not going to get too philosphical) Here is the principle- God will bring order out of chaos. He did it in Genesis: [...][...]

Don’t Fold (Acts 22)
Today at True Life Church we talked about having difficult conversations, and we committed to not avoiding them this week. Most of us have difficult conversations in front of us that we often want to avoid. Things like confrontation, money, family, history…. Paul made a difficult speech in A[...]

Consumer Christianity.. (Acts 20)
I do the grocery shopping in my house. I can’t believe I do it (and just between us…I like it). When Darcy and I were first married she did the grocery shoppping and I did the bills. Each of us hated doing those tasks. To cap it off, she was a bad shopper, and I [...][...]

Are We There yet? (Acts 19)
If you have ever been on a road trip with kids, you have heard this question pinging like the sound of an elevator in progress, “Are we there yet?”(ding), “Are we there yet” (ding)……. I find myself asking this with God quite often..”Am I there yet”..&[...]

Oh Sister Where art Thou.. (Acts 18)
Luke, the author of Acts, performs a curious little editorial flip-flop here in Acts 18. Luke’s writing style is very detailed oriented. In his listing of a leadership couple, Pricilla and Aquilla, the author names the wife first. Most scholars conclude that out of the two, Priscilla was th[...]
