What Plagues Us All

I've been in ministry long enough to know each of us brings our own unique sets of brokenness to the table. And that we each try to pretend that it isn't there. So we discover ways of emphasizing our strengths and talents and ignoring our flaws, but in our quieter moments we know just how deeply broken we each are. And Revelation is telling us that what is true of us on the inside, is true at a cosmic level as well.

This is the holiest week of the Christian calendar. It's the week where we celebrate the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. But this holy season comes on the heels of some of the worst natural disasters in recent history. It seems that the world is starting to come unraveled. So what does this week have to say about that?

A New Beginning

A blog re-post from Rob Bell about how he came to be a pastor. It's a story about redemption, and dead end's that turn into 2nd chances. And it has nothing to do with Hell.
