Confession #7: Sharing what I believe
Chris on Jun 7th 2008
This might be trivial from your view point. But this is something I struggle with. Its a two fold problem really. First I find it awkward to work this into conversation, sharing the Gospel that is. If you know me, I’m pretty reserved and quiet. I like observing, and coming away with thoughts. There usually [...]
Confession #6: We hide, and were happy we can
Chris on Jun 6th 2008
I was actually working on this post previous to starting this series, and never really got to finish it, but I think it aptly fits cause I struggle with this one quite a bit. I also think this is more of a problem then one would care to admit. It deals with seeing and confronting [...]
Confessions Series Update
Chris on Jun 6th 2008
Hey friends, readers, lurkers, stalkers and all passing by. I just wanted to let you know my buddy Danny is doing this very thing as well. I can’t believe I’m on #6 already, which will be posted in a few hours, but he is following suite in this series as well. He got started a [...]
Confession #5: Reading
Chris on Jun 5th 2008
I guess this one kinda goes along with the past two posts as well in the fact that I struggle with reading. Reading the Bible. I’ve always been taught or encouraged to read, read in a way that was more of a habit, bound by time and a specific way of handling the scripture. I [...]
Confession #4: Prayer
Chris on Jun 4th 2008
This one is going to be short probably. But this one is a struggle for me. A lot of times I say ” I’ll pray for you ” or ” I’ll pray about this or that ” – and usually what happens is I end up lying. I don’t know about you, but I [...]
Confession #3: I’m obsessed
Chris on Jun 3rd 2008
Actually. I’m quite obsessed with all the wrong things. I’ve halted my normal reads, that I have yet to finish, to read a book called “Crazy Love :: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God” – by Francis Chan. It’s a really simple read. Its also a hardcore deep cutting book of self evaluation. It has simply [...]
peels and layers
Chris on Jun 3rd 2008
Sometimes it hurts too much to peel back the layers and feel what’s under there. Yet what we’re not healing is hurting us somehow. I believe that the more I share my life and process honestly, the more I can heal, and, in turn, help others to heal. -Sark (ht: thelongbrake dot com)
Confession #2: I am not Chris Baker
Chris on Jun 2nd 2008
Well, technically I am, but it seems that I get a lot of web access from the great state of Texas. It also turns out that there was a rather popular radio dj who happens to have the same name as me. From what I can tell his show or program has been removed from [...]
Confession #1: Why I left my Church
Chris on Jun 1st 2008
Today marks the one year point since I left my church of 23 years. I still attend a church, it’s just not this one in particular. Don’t get me wrong, its not a time of celebration, I’m not breaking out the champagne or the noise makers – though that’s a good idea, maybe, just kidding. [...]
