Family Matters

     Speaking personally, i grew up not truly understanding family. My dad was around and did his best to provide for us (and he did an excellent job) but there wasn't any real connection; no fatherly moments or special fatherly wisdom. In all reality i just remember him being there in his chair. i…

Twas The Season

The last few days i've sat and contemplated the Christmas season. i'm saddened. Saddened by the conditioning of the world, fellow believers and even myself. During the Christmas season many "believers" come out of the wood work. With pride they fight for the right of, "Merry Christmas". They dust off their bible that's been hidden…

Line, Lost

"It amazes me that we even need to have these conversations. How far has the bar really fallen? How much has the truth been swayed?" That was a closing statement from a discussion i had with some friends yesterday. Some background: i just finished reading the book, "Letters to the Church" by Francis Chan (which…

Compassion

"My heart is constantly breaking over people. I want hearts to use, to actively break with Mine so My acts of mercy and justice can be moved out in true compassion." The other day i was driving home from dropping my son off at school and my heart began to break. i had began to…

Psalm 151:10

What does it mean to be in the presence of the LIVING GOD; The all glorious, all majestic, wonderful God? What does it mean to walk in the presence of the LIVING GOD; The moving, breathing, active God? What does it mean to have the presence, dwelling inside you, of the LIVING GOD; The all…

Will there be any left?

Will there be any left? Any who are faithful? Any who haven't been deceived? Any who truly grasp on to the truth and refuse to sell it? Worry blankets my mind as chills run through my veins. My family and i are included in this any. Frost bite gnawing on my toes, worry is quick…

Testimony of Deliverance

One of my greatest joys in life, besides the obvious, is to see people set free. This weekend we (Kaleo) hosted an inner healing 'workshop'. It started off, last night, with a releasing message of forgiveness. Started back up with a powerful word on God transforming our hardened hearts, followed by DELIVERANCE, hearing God's voice,…

Dream With Me

Sun scorched shoulders, sand burrowing its way in every crevice, salt perfuming the water; a beautiful day at the beach. As you lay there, ear buds jammin your favorite song, you reach in the cooler for your next quenching drink... Terror. The ground beneath you begins to roll, introducing its encore of panic. Buildings begin…

Misconception

While driving i recently heard a Christian radio personnel, "Coming up, some tips on how to not turn people away by sharing your faith." This is not the first time i have heard someone say something along the lines of ways to orient your faith to not offend people. And this fam, is not the…

Voice of Conviction

"Maybe you should help her", echoing through my mind. A constant back and forth, rewind. Just another fleeing thought. Thousandth one of the day, not one to be sought. But yet, somehow different. More heart felt, more intimate. A renewed mind takes getting use to... Here's the scenerio. Lady with four small kids running amuck.…
