“Very few people in our world are offering anything worth dying for. Most of the messages we receive are about how to make life easier. The call of Jesus goes the other direction: it’s about making our lives more difficult. It is going out of our way to be more generous and disciplined and loving…

Buying Music
Buying a new album feels so great. I love wanting to listen to every song right away and hear a bunch of new melodies and lyrics. I love anticipating new songs becoming a part of my life. It’s weird to think that one day you hear can hear a musician for the first time and on that day, you can’t be sure of how their music will work their way into your life. You just have to wait and...

One of the things I wish more than anything else is that young Christians would stop reacting to the negative things about the church, merely inheriting the hypercritical stance that is so unappealing in conservative circles, and not only subvert the object of criticism, but the attitude itself….
Everyone Wants To Go To Heaven, Just Not Yet →
click title to read the article It’ll get you thinking. But this is what I want to know: what would it look like if our generation made heaven our top priority? What if we not only believed this world is not our home but we actually lived it out on a daily basis? What if we showed little to no concern for material things and instead focused on pointing to the eternal?

“It’s like, it doesn’t honor God to pretend like everything is OK. That’s the beauty of Jesus that so many people miss. The beauty is that he died on the cross for our sins, but also that he existed the way we exist. He understands what it’s like to lose a friend. He’s not unfamiliar with those…

The State We're In
This is the state we find ourselves in when all we’ve been shown is that People run away when we make mistakes People give up on us when we need love the most. People hold grudges, so we hold guilt. Because all anyone’s doing is protecting themselves. All anyone’s ever done is protect themselves. And at the end of the day, we find that our complaints of other people are the exact things we’re...

it’s not hard to see that there is this great imbalance and that things aren’t night. I know that, but for me it really hits home if i stop and think about this moment, because it’s happening right now. in the same moment you have a generation entertaining themselves by watching reality. in the same moment you have a generation entertaining themselves by watching reality television,...

Time, You're My Enemy Lately.
Time, you’re my enemy lately. And I’m never sure what to do with you. And I’m not sure what you’re doing to me. I know that you’re being quiet and quick, running swiftly from me, when it’s always been the other way around. Normally I’m the one running out of time. But lately, I think that you’re running from me. While you’re so far ahead,...

Is it any surprise that you feel so overrun? And all this time you had no one to tell you how to love And do you think it’s unwise to go and break yourself on this one?
And all this time you didn’t know love. You didn’t know love. You didn’t know love. You didn’t know love.

Questions
I wrote this in May 2007…That’s almost 4 years ago. WEIRRRRD. I was learning how to love myself. Reading this makes me feel like I haven’t changed all that much…Haha. But the funny thing is this is when I realized how often I ask questions. Ohhh Blogspot, glad you were there for me to vent to in high school… I went on a walk today. I was thinking about how it’s...
