Experience Love. Grace. God.
While it may seem strange to some people, I have a habit of listening to certain music at particular times of the year. One example of this odd behavior is my September listening. September is a month in which I break out music by the late Keith Green. To enhance my music experience this year […]
Pruning is an important Biblical principal. It can also be a painful one. John 15:1-2: “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” John constructs a […]
Perhaps you’ve noticed Egypt in the news quite a bit recently. Last week, I spoke with an Egyptian Christian who described the situation in Egypt as “bleak” for the native Christian population. After our discussion, I found an article that corroborated her story. The article and my Egyptian sister both painted a picture of “anti-Christian […]
Self-perception can be everything. At CityLight Church we focus on the believer’s identity in Christ. When God looks at you – his child – He sees you through a lens of love. He sees you as He sees His only Son, Jesus Christ. John was a man who had a handle on his identity in […]

In July, I read a report that the […]
We must practice forgiveness all the time. In fact, forgiveness should be part of your daily routine. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11: Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, lest Satan should take advantage of us; […]
Last week Christian writer, Rachel Held Evans, wrote a piece for CNN belief blog provocatively entitled “Why millennials are leaving the church“. It has become a major subject of discussion in the evangelical blogosphere with over 150,000 hits. Evans conclusion is that millennials are leaving because we, the church, have only made stylistic changes when […]
Believing is different from knowing. John 6:69: “Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” To know means to have cerebral knowledge of something.
