Living Real

I was reading in Psalm 19 this morning. Went there to recollect what Sean McDowell said in a conference Saturday. This morning, in the NLT, I read: 7 The instructions of the Lord are perfect,      reviving the soul.   The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy,      making wise the simple. 8 The commandments of the Lord are right,      bringing joy to [...]

I went to see a movie Friday night. Jack and I had a date night — with three other couples! Several of us had read the book, "House" by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. Even though the movie is rated R (gasp!) and several "Christian" review sites have said it has no redeeming qualities, I [...]

In reading chapters 22 & 23 in 2 Kings, I’m seeing the need for the national leader to have a real grasp on what God has said in regards to that nation. In this case, it was God’s nation, Judah. The previous leaders had thumbed their noses at God and now the young king, Josiah, [...]

Wow! I feel like I’ve lost a week! Well, maybe I have, but not really. Now, THAT is some circular thinking! I want to take some time in some separate posts to gel up what I learned at Catalyst, and put that into some action points I can live out. For now, I want to [...]
