Welcome
Here you will find an eclectic collection of information. There are devotional thoughts, theological insights, philosophical preferences, recommended books and insight into my life and journey as a husband, father and pastor.
Weekly Devotional The life you live is the expression of your availability to Christ in you. The focus of your time, priorities and actions are a reflection of your devotion and yieldedness. There are no excuses, only actions flowing out the allegiance of your soul. We are all busy, we all have commerce and family to attend to, we all have countless chores in the passing minutes of our days. The variance between distraction and devotion lies in our passion to pursue Jesus first. "Warrior Poet" references the heart of David who wrote the majority of Psalms. He had the heart of an artist and yet was a warrior and king. These devotionals are written to encourage those who have hearts passionate for God to press on in the journey. Revolutionaries: those regular, every day Christians who are changing the world through action. I think of Sharlla Stone volunteering at the Pregnancy Center, Oscar Ramirez working among the urban poor at Avenida Guadalupe, the rag tag bunch of radicals who feed the homeless each Monday and my 70-year-old mom who volunteers at the Christian Women’s Job Corp. I see them putting meaning to words every day so many of us merely espouse. Herbert Hoover said “words without actions are the assassins of idealism.” The apostle James said “faith without works is dead.”
