Delicious Thoughts....

Well, I hope that that stirred your minds into thinking a little differently about intimacy with Jesus.


I get caught up in that thought sometimes. For my own life.. what does intimacy with Christ look like, what would my life be if I embraced deeper intimacy with Him (certainly I am self-aware enough to know there is plenty... boundless amounts... of room to grow in this area)? So maybe that's a question for each of us to wrestle with this week, or maybe forever, but how about a more focussed, deliberate consideration of this question this week.


What would our lives be like if we embraced deeper intimacy with Jesus?


Considering all the things we talked about this weekend. The conflict within, the confrontation of sin in our lives, the fear of authenticity or transparency. Taking all that into the lens through which you look... examine the question.


Leave a comment or two... let's talk this one out.

Truth at work... week one

So this past week was most interesting.
I was really moved by some of the content of the Truth Project and of course some of it was incredibly heady... Ravi Zacharias surely provided the most mind bending quote of the night about what truth is. On the flip side of that some of the content was scary, the unitarian lady was very "interesting" with her take on the truth as light refracted through windows of the cathedral of the world. However, if there is one thing that permiates the world, it's that concept of each person holding onto a little piece of the truth and together we complete the truth puzzle. Wow.

So anyway, I hope that each of you were challenged, inspired, or somehow moved by what you saw and heard. I was wondering what really stood out for you guys, what was most profound?

I enjoyed our conversation and was really glad to see the new faces and hear them jump right into the conversation... good stuff. I hope to see you all this coming week as we take on week 2 of the truth project... Philosophy & Ethics.

And to get that jumpstarted in your mind... what do you guys have to say about those topics? I will be posting an additional thought for you guys this week about ethics, hopefully it will get you guys thinking about the subject at large.

See you this wek.
