To Save the Lost

July 20, 2007

The Friday Fragment that I wrote last week relayed an encounter that I had on a flight to Chicago sitting next to a four-year-old girl by the name of Zion. I described her in the following terms: “She was disarming, bold, unafraid, and sweet.” So you’ll understand the complete recoil I did when I boarded […]

Zion

July 13, 2007

This morning I was on a very early Southwest flight out of Denver, and fortunately, I was in the “A” line for seat selection. This is critical to ensure an appropriate aisle seat with adequate overhead bin space. A small group of “Pre-Boards” had filed into the Boeing 737 and it was now my turn […]

Life’s Sunset

July 6, 2007

I’ve had a perfect view of the fabulous Colorado sunsets over the past couple of weeks. They’ve been breathtaking and dramatic. As darkness creeps across the landscape, the remaining sunshine leverages the evening conditions to explode color through the evening sky. The mountains of the Front Range become an etched silhouette against the backdrop of […]

Shameless

June 29, 2007

She had lived with the shame. She had spent all she had. She had consulted every expert she could, and now she was broke and broken. Answerless. Rejected. For 12 incredible years. She knew the pointed and specific words of Leviticus 15:25 that declared that “all of the days that she bleeds, she shall be […]

Fighting Giants

June 15, 2007

Did you know that King David had the opportunity to square off with giants on multiple occasions? While the sling wielding encounter with the “trash talking” enemy described in I Samuel 17 gets the bulk of the sermon headings, there were others that confronted the king throughout his life. In particular, the second book of […]

Heroes & Advocates

June 8, 2007

He’s got 48 titles listed on Amazon.com and he lives a life that illustrates why. Dr. Warren Wiersbe is an amazing man, and last weekend I met him for the first time at a Youth for Christ Alumni Fellowship event in Winona Lake, Indiana. He was there to open the Word for us. To teach […]

In Memorium

June 1, 2007

“‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ And likewise the cup after they had eaten.” ~ Luke 22:19b-20a It had been an incredible run. Jesus and twelve men. The experiences, pain, disappointment, buffet dinners, victory, rejection. “God with us” had done his work, and now, in an […]

Flats Happen

May 31, 2007

I was four miles from help when I had my first flat tire on my road bike. I had no spare parts and no tools to even attempt to repair the damage, and so I walked and pushed until a kind-hearted older man came to my rescue. That very day I purchased a tire repair […]

Fragments

May 22, 2007

For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. ~ 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 (ESV) […]
