What we love.

Chris on Sep 3rd 2008

Yesterday morning I finished up John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste your Life”.  It was a great book, but a book I thought that the points could have been better defined and brought to a quicker attention rather than the drawn out process that Piper followed throughout the book.  Anyway, as I worked my way through [...]

Confession #19: I am a Whore

Chris on Jun 23rd 2008

Today I was catching up on some podcasts from last week that I had not gotten a chance to listen to. I listen to two on a regular basis, as I have probably mentioned before, but one of them is Cornerstone Simi church in Simi Valley, CA. I can’t quite remember how I [...]

Confession #18?: A break

Chris on Jun 19th 2008

I think this is a really one…for a few days anyway. I’ve had a bit on my mind since yesterday morning and I’m processing it yet.  In some aspects I’m not sure how to or what to do with it.  Maybe if just needs to go into my private journal for safe keeping.  But with [...]

Confession #17: My Heart

Chris on Jun 17th 2008

There isn’t much to this post other than the fact that I have a lot on my heart right now.  Lot’s of personal stuff that I’ve been thinking about today.  I’ve know I’ve been neglecting the fact that I have some stuff I need to deal with, and allowing God to change me.  I’m simply [...]

Confession #15: Politics

Chris on Jun 15th 2008

This is usually something that I don’t touch with a ten-foot-pole.  I neither care to much about it either.  But last evening I watched Jesus Camp, the movie. It got me to start thinking about all this, and the agendas we Christians have in trying to ‘influence’ the world.  I may really not know what I am talking [...]

Confession #14: I Am A Man

Chris on Jun 14th 2008

This is a cop-out type of confession, I suppose.  I’ve been a bit tired lately and thought I might take a break for a few days.  I’m proud of myself so far for being able to stick with it this long so far.  Today I honestly wasn’t in one of those moods to post anything. [...]

Confession #13: Need some help?

Chris on Jun 13th 2008

I’m trying not to be boastful or prideful, but I enjoy (not even sure that is the correct word) listening to people. What do I mean by listen?  I desire to help people, I like to listen to the things about their life, struggles, victories, challenges, weakeness, etc.  This is who I am.  I desire [...]

Confession #12: Cardboard Testimony

Chris on Jun 12th 2008

I’m kinda taking a break on this series for the day. I was going to write something else last night, but a tweet came across twitter and I think I’d rather share the link that was in the tweet rather than what I had planned.
I follow Jason Powell’s blog and twitter. Jason [...]

Confession #10: Lonely

Chris on Jun 10th 2008

I’ll be honesty I don’t feel like writing this right now.  I feel like I am running out of steam.  I’m tired.  Its been pretty hot and humid and the heat has just been sucking the energy out of me.  But I am going to give it a shot anyway.
One thing I struggle with almost [...]

Confession #9: Purity

Chris on Jun 9th 2008

I’m Male.I’m 27 yrs old.I’m Single.I struggle with being pure. Enough said…right?Not Quite. This is, well, a subject that I think perhaps more people struggle with more often than not. I don’t plan on getting into the nitty gritty of my life, but I think its important to share some of my thoughts on [...]

Confession #8: Selfishness, Security, and Sacrifice

Chris on Jun 8th 2008

I am occasionally encouraged by my folks to start saving for the future, to have a plan for emergencies, etc. While this is great. I simply have not done anything about it. My current job hasn’t allowed itself to do so. My savings has been pretty minimal. Yet, I remain pretty [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 end [...]
