Forgive Them For They Know Not…
In my last post, You Won’t Like Me When I’m Angry, I said that in my opinion the greatest miracle Jesus ever did was stay on the cross. Well, if that was the greatest, the second was to pray for the people who were cheering to see him there. Imagine that you have been betrayed. It…

You Won’t Like Me When I Am Angry
In Ephesians 4:26, 27 it says “‘Be angry, and do not sin’:do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.” This is a verse that I have had to remind myself of more frequently in the past few years than I ever have before. In general I am…

I Don’t Need To Look At The Sun To Feel It
I was on a break during class when I saw a classmate, Sarah Wilson, looking at her smartphone. I jokingly said to her, how can you be looking at your phone when it’s beautiful out today. Her response was simple and ultimately struck me as very profound with regard to its spiritual implications. She replied,…

In Light of the Red Letters
When I asked my friend Will from school what denomination he was, he simply responded, “Jesus follower.” I wonder when they will make a check box for that because soon I will have to begin my ordination track which means going through the process set out by a specific denomination. You would think that by now…

The Foolishness and Weakness of God
On my knees in the prayer room at Andover Newton Theological School where I am attending seminary, I admitted to God how weak and poor in spirit I was. I am praying for the strength of mind, body, and soul so that I will be able to complete the six papers I have due in the…

Road Trip With God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water – Full Circle
There’s no way I can completely explain to someone who is “uninitiated”, the things that were ministered to me for the next 19 hours because as it says in 1 Corinthians 2, “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” …

Sometimes Words Aren’t Enough
Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I have been trying to put our experience into the perfect words for this blog. After struggling for weeks, I finally surrendered to the fact that I can’t and embraced that I’ll just have to do the best that I can. Words are funny things. They can be used…

They Can’t Make Us
You have to admit, the great thing about The Roofless Church is that I get to go through these over thought rants of reflection so you don’t have to. My mind pretty much doesn’t shut off. If I’m not using it, it’s running on auto-pilot scanning the created and uncreated Universe looking for signs of Truth…
