 Luke 19:1-10 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree […]

Moving from Missional to Incarnational

By on Saturday, November 2nd, 2013 | No Comments

I have a friend who started a church in one of the most secularized regions of Virginia Beach.  He worked for a year to build relationships and friendships with people in his community.  Many of them were really wacky to the typical Sunday morning church people ways of thinking.  Some were Wiccans, some were addicted to […]

By on Wednesday, October 30th, 2013 | No Comments

“We needed an Incarnate God, a God put to death, that we might live.  We were put to death together with Him, that we might be cleansed; we rose again with Him because we were put to death with Him; we were glorified with Him, because we rose again with Him,” Gregory Nazianzen, A Select […]

By on Friday, October 25th, 2013 | No Comments

“Western theology has had a difficult time placing “God is love” (1 Jn 4:8) at the center stage when discussing the divine attributes. Instead, it emphasizes the more abstract and impersonal attributes of omnipotence and omniscience. In my opinion this results from the failure to place the discussion of the divine nature under the category […]

By on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013 | 3 Comments

I was in a local bookstore, recently.  It was chilly out, so I made use of a gift card to buy a cup of hot chocolate and peruse the magazine rack. I noticed a  young mom there.  She had a young baby in a carriage, a phone on the table in front of her.  In fact, she had […]
