"…all our stories are about Jesus."
The Next Day “Ha!” Jack laughs in his chair. “You came back!” I smile as I step out from the morning sun and into the shade of the overpass. This time, I’ve parked my van in the McDonald’s parking lot that’s planted right next to this huge mass of concrete gray, the golden arches emblem …
Two Days After Lying To Jesse I'm on my way to Grandma's, and I get to the turn where I can choose to take the highway or meander through town. Wanting to be open to God's leading, I ask, "Which way?" Feels like God says, Through town. And then as I start to go through …
Spring 2016 I've just spent $100 on books. Books about missionaries. And I'm sitting in my car outside the Christian bookstore, trying to read this particular book about a guy from Pakistan who takes a stand for Christ and gets stabbed for it, trying to distance myself as I feel the Holy Spirit stirring around …
You know, you get ready to witness, and God won't waste any time. I just made these shirts! Today's a bit rushed. Last day of school. A billion things to do. Award ceremony to attend. Bills to pay. Blah, blah, blah. Jeans on, I pause to consider my shirt for the day. Something says, Go …

“Stretch out your hand and grasp the serpent by the tail.” Uh… no thanks. I’m not looking for Death right now. But if I see him, I’ll tell him You called. I mean, come on. Moses fled from the serpent for good reason. How and why does this sign address the question Moses asked? Moses …
We're running through the idea that God is revealing to Moses Who He Is, Is, Is. "I AM WHO I AM." Let’s keep in mind we’re looking for: God the Father—who speaks, hears, renames, makes promises, tells the future God the Son—who fulfills or embodies the promises spoken, makes the impossible possible, and takes things …
It’s like God shows Moses His tattoo. See this? “This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.” Before God and Moses really get down to business, God self-identifies three times as: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And in that name, I see …
This is not: How to Prove a Jehovah’s Witness Wrong. Jehovah’s Witnesses—sigh—sure are persistent. I once made the mistake of inviting some into my home. Whatever you do, don’t do that. I had to spiritually clean house afterwards. I hadn’t listened to 2 John 1:7-11. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those …
