A few days ago I received the first issue of the Neue Quarterly so today I decided it was time to pull it out, browse around and find a pithy article to [...]

Planning Retreat - Part 1
Read the passage that I mention here.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (Dry Cleaner’s Version)
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, [...]
Proverbs 2:21-22 (Dry Cleaner’s Version)
(Yes, I do realize that I am using a verse from the second chapter of Proverbs, get over it )
It’s the men who walk straight who will settle this land,the women with integrity who will last here. The corrupt will lose their lives;the dishonest will be gone for good. Proverbs 2:21-22
Matt. 6:34 (Dry Cleaner’s Version)
Another sign from my favorite dry cleaner!
“Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” A Simple Guide for Behavior. Matthew 6:34 (MSG)

[Jesus] said, “The knowledge of [...]
Authentic Living
So I thought I’d share a few of my devotional thoughts from today…
Scripture:
By this time a lot of men and women of doubtful reputation were hanging around Jesus, listening intently.
Luke15:1(The Message)
Observation:
There is obviously something beyond the miracles and lessons that Jesus was teaching that compelled these people to hang with Him. Surely the rabbis [...]
The Religious Life
A few days ago I noticed a story about a guy named A.J. Jacobs and his quest to live for a full year while following every rule in the Bible. Obviously it caught my attention and got me thinking.
Turns out this guy spent the year doing his best to follow the Bible and felt [...]
