To Come

I know it has been quite a while since I have posted anything significant on this blog (not that a ton of people read it anyways), but I am looking forward to getting back on and sharing what has been occurring these past few weeks. The past month has had its share of ups and downs, but God has continued to stay faithful through it all. The future has been becoming even more exciting for me as I've been watching Him move in so many ways.

Unfortunately, this will probably be the only new blog entry I will write until after I graduate in a couple of weeks due to final projects, exams, work, and whatever else has been consuming my schedule. But just to give you a taste of what is to come, I figured I could create a "preview" of sorts summarizing all of the ideas bouncing around inside of my head that might eventually become blog entries.
"The Future of Yesterday"
We all carry the heavy burdens of past sins. We should face our past in a way that honors God and allows Him to continue healing our wounds, all while being continually reminded of our redemption.

"Rut"
We have all experienced (and generally on a regular basis) what it is like to be in a spiritual rut. We are loving God in ways that we can, but we long for the days in which we felt amazingly close to Him. What it takes to break the routine and fall back in love with the Creator.
"Less Is More Than Ever"
Jesus didn't call us to lead comfortable lives; He called us to leave everything. How materialism distracts us from what really matters.

"Reinventing Church"
Documenting my experience with my church. How we are reformulating what it means to gather as a body of believers and my vision for the future. (Think: Acts 2)

So as I'm sitting on campus and listening to the masterfully organized sounds and electronic ambiance of Kye Kye, I am greatly anticipating what the future holds for me. I am constantly reminded of His amazing and unconditional love for me -- the plan He has for me; the desire that He has for me to become a man after His heart. I reflect on the amazing and authentic acoustic worship experience at church this morning, the way He nudged my heart during a presentation from a classmate about how she started an orphanage for children in Uganda in His name, and the way He has blessed me with the circle of friends I currently have. He is so good, and I cannot wait to share with you more of how He has been moving.

Safe

Just like any other Sunday, I awoke to the thought of cycling. The sun was peeking through the cracks in my drapes and beckoning me for a day of sunny skies and great riding. I hopped out of bed, ate a couple bowls of Cinnamon Trackers, and began working on my bike, preparing it for another ride. It was thoroughly covered in dirt and grime from the previous day’s rainy adventure, so I spent the next twenty minutes wiping down the frame, cleaning the rims and brake pads, and airing up the tires. I had washed my cycling kit in the sink the night prior, allowing it to air dry overnight. As it approached 9:30, I could feel God nudging me in that old familiar way. I knew that I wasn’t going to end up riding that morning. It is extremely hard for me to turn down a ride, especially with the ample amount of free time that I have in a weekend. I decided that I would attend the morning service at church and try to hear from Him on what He would have me do with my day. I am still f...

Dangerous Faith

Image
It’s time to get dirty. Roll up your sleeves, pick up a shovel, and dig in. If you claim to be a follower of Christ, you better be living out your faith – on a daily basis. So many proclaimed “Christians” live out their entire lives without significantly impacting the lives of those around them. We were not called to live comfortably or casually. We are all called to very specific purposes, ones in which we are to fall in love with our Savior, ultimately compelling us to share the Love that He has so graciously given us to those around us. But how many of us actually do that? Don’t you realize what He has done for us? Don’t you claim to follow Jesus? He died for us. He gave up His very life to save our broken souls from what we deserved – an eternity separated from any semblance of hope. If you have grown up in America, you know full well the promises that this country so proudly offers – “The American Dream”. If you work hard, you will ultimately become wealthy and/or ...

It’s a busy fall afternoon in downtown Denver. Businessmen, tourists, and some of the city’s homeless peruse the city’s pedestrian mall, enjoying the warm Colorado weather. I sit inside the Tremont and 16 th Starbucks, sipping on a sweetened iced coffee, reflecting on my fairly mellow, yet eye-opening weekend. People-watching is one of my favorite pastimes, and the large, floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the perimeter of the popular coffee shop chain allow for prime viewing. I find it interesting that there are so many different types of people, yet all of them are alike in so many ways. Every person shares the trait of being human, which means we all struggle with loneliness, rejection, anger, self-confidence, hopelessness, self-worth, and purpose. And every now and then, some of us stumble upon the invaluable sense of pure joy. As I watch the well-dressed and confident businessmen and women make their way along the streets of Denver’s central business district, I w...
