Rewind – Driven

Rewind: Dirty

This is one of my favorite past posts, originally written in 2011. I thought it was worth revisiting now. I hope it challenges you as much as it challenges me. Sometimes the way I read my Bible is a little delusional. Take, for example, the story of Hosea. I used to love that story. GodContinue reading “Rewind: Dirty”

Rewind: HOPEless

In 2011, my wife Charmaine and I spent over two weeks in Thailand, meeting with refugees and pastors, learning more about the Karen people group and about international missions work with our friend Joanna, a missionary that we support. We came back in the middle of July and, 4 days later, I took a groupContinue reading “Rewind: HOPEless”

Rewind: Dirty

Rewind: It Isn’t That Complicated

Imagine you have a teenage daughter, and you tell that daughter to clean her room. If she comes to you an hourContinue reading “Rewind: It Isn’t That Complicated”

Rewind: Lazy Driving

I was reading an article that was published in Relevant, Nov-Dec ’10, written by the magazine’s founder and CEO, Cameron Strang. The article is called “The Price of Vision,” and I thought he had some really brilliant comments on driving towards the vision God has given you and not taking the easy way out. HereContinue reading “Rewind: Lazy Driving”

Rewind: Driven

It’s been a while since I’ve posted regularly and a lot has changed for me in that time, so I thought as I looked to relaunch this blog that I’d throw in a few Rewinds of some of my previous posts. Here is the first post I wrote for Driven to Christ. A lot ofContinue reading “Rewind: Driven”
