Words wither and blogs fade away…
Forgive me if you’ve heard this song before, but I've decided to stop blogging at He is Sufficient. I truly appreciate all of the wit, wisdom and words of faith that you have shared with me over the past few years. I wish you well in all of your endeavors, whatever they may be and wherever they may lead you. “God is sufficient for the needs of His people”. Amen!

I am not Mark Biltz
In the video from yesterday’s “blood moon” post, Steve Hadley mentions that he originally saw this material presented by Mark Biltz, a messianic Jew with a church in Washington state. After digging around the original GodTube.com posting, I discovered the name of Biltz’s ministry… are you ready for this?

Blood moons and Jewish feasts
If you’re into premillennial headline eschatology, this one might be for you. Former blogger Mitch Guthrie recently passed along a recent GodTube.com video (~30 minutes) of a rather enthusiastic presentation by Steve Hadley of Harvest Family Fellowship Reno Nevada regarding the extremely rare alignment of solar and lunar eclipses (“blood moons”) with the major Jewish [...]

Engaging, not conforming
On Sunday, we drank in a passionate sermon by one of our community directors (and youth pastor at my former church), Micah Witham, on the Church and postmodern culture.

Using the examples of Paul presenting to different audiences in Acts 13 (Jews) and 17 (Greeks) and working from 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, [...]

Be filled with the Spirit
Yesterday morning was an amazing experience of extremes. I woke up late (which I hate to do) and the boys were extraordinarily rambunctious, which I didn’t deal with very well. My wife left the house early to attend the 9:00 service before serving in the toddlers’ Sunday school room at 10:30. In her absence, the [...]
Senator Obama and the Sunday social
Note: I very rarely post on politically related issues and don’t intend to make it a habit. I hope that this post is not taken politically, but as a commentary on the role of church in a Christian’s life.
John Hobbins posted an excerpt of Senator Obama’s explanation for resigning as a member from Trinity UCC. [...]
Weird worship meme
Subtitled: “ElShaddai, I’m crazy to do what you say and go somewhere if your Ghost is not there!”
David Ker tagged me and several others with a “weird worship” meme, which evidently focuses on bizarre worship song lyrics. In addition to David’s original post, there have been a number of great replies, including this from Peter [...]

Continuing on with salvation…
Somewhat of a follow up/tag on to yesterday’s post on the function of salvation, I came across the following quote in Harold Best’s “Unceasing Worship” book:
God’s creatorhood entails much more than making things; it includes salvation, which is a unique kind of creating work, drawn from the wells of a triune imagination, the extent and [...]

He is risen!
“Though your sins are scarlet,
they may yet be white as snow;
though they are dyed crimson,
they may become white as wool.”

Before you leave church on Sunday…
As I attempt to recover from an onslaught of work, snow and continued sniping over written indiscretions, allow me to make a humble request for the coming weekend:
If your Good Friday or Easter service includes music or other performing arts that touches you and heightens your perceptions in these days of remembrance, will you take [...]
