The Stories of My Life: “Wake up Daddy!”
“Then there was the blur of my mom trying to wake my dad up, then frantically dialing 911, and then the paramedics and then the hospital…” This afternoon I came home from work and my kids came running into greet me as usual. (I hope that never ends, though I know it will.) Brennan has…
The Way of the Heart by Henri J.M. Nouwen
“What I found once I started reading this book was that I didn’t agree with 90% of what it is said.” I was first introduced to this book a little while ago by a member of the staff at Maple Grove Evangelical Free church. This person did warm me that the theological and philosophical perspectives…
Book Review: Revolutionaries by Matt Brown
Many times when I say the I “know” an author, I am saying that I’ve read his or her stuff. When I say I know Matt Brown, what I am saying is that I remember when he was a young high-school kid whose passion for music was only eclipsed by his passion for the Lord….

I could say yes…but that would be lying
Genesis 41:15-16 I’m sure as Joseph was approached by Pharaoh, he could have said, “Yes…I have been known to successfully interpret dreams. In fact, I’ve been doing the whole ‘dream thing’ since I was a kid.” But he didn’t. That’s what makes him a better man than me. Often times I find myself taking credit…
Gratitude in the wrong direction
Am I lying to myself? Am I taking feelings of thankfulness for God’s blessings in my life as feelings of thankfulness towards God? During my devotions today, I found myself pausing over Luke 17:11-19. It’s a story I’m familiar with. I’ve read it plenty of times, and have even taught through the passage. But today…
