Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. To Münster, with. love? As departure time for an upcoming trip draws nearer and nearer, life begins to blur a bit; tunnel vision sets in; anxiety flares; lists are made and items are checked off; and then ultimately, after staying up for two hours longer than you should’ve, nothing else exists in the world except for leaving on time, and remembering to bring everything. It’s not nearly as fun as it sounds. Taxi (from home to Glasgow Central Train Station – 10min). Foot (...

the McKenzies: Book Review: Community 101
http://chrisandjasheen.blogspot.com/2008/02/book-review-community-101.html
Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. Book Review: Community 101. Whether community happens or not may not be left to chance. Christians are under obligation to make it happen, and to make it happen as God intends it to be, not according to their own traditions and preferences, and certainly not according to alien patterns of non-community imported into the church from a world that is itself bereft of the joy of authentic community and yearning for it." - Community 101 (p.44). In essence, Bilezikian is makin...

Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. On this day six years ago I boarded a plane at LAX bound for Glasgow, Scotland. I didn't know how long I would be here, but if I'd have placed a bet then, I would have lost. Seeing as I've never lived in one place for more than six years (and that was back in elementary school), I couldn't imagine that Glasgow would be the next time I repeated that home-stand. Six years. eligible for citizenship. a blink in light of eternity. just the beginning? Links to this post. Tim K...

Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. A Warning List for Those Who Would Join a Missional Church Gathering. There are myriad obstacles that have challenged Mosaic's growth, depth and presence in the west end of Glasgow. Some of these obstacles are cultural; some are circumstantial; but some come from within. I wouldn't identify it as 'in-fighting,' per se. I think it's more clearly associated with a misunderstanding of what our church's vision is, and where Mosaic is going. He's also the author of. In order ...

Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. Life in the Fast Lane. Once again, my blog updates have fallen victim to the Tyranny of the Urgent. 160;Our lives have had so little margin since the beginning of the year that 'normal life' seems a distant reality. We just can't seem to slow down. and in some cases, it appears we don't want to. The thing is, this exercise of hospitality is simultaneously life-giving and taxing. We can honestly say that each of our house guests have been a blessing; they've be...As goo...

the McKenzies: I heard the voice of Jesus
http://chrisandjasheen.blogspot.com/2011/03/i-heard-voice-of-jesus.html
Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. I heard the voice of Jesus. I heard the voice of Jesus say,. Come unto me and rest;. Lay down, thou weary one, lay down. Thy head upon my breast.". I came to Jesus as I was,. Weary and worn and sad,. I found Him in a resting-place. And He has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say,. Behold, I freely give. The living water, thirsty soul,. Stoop down and drink and live.". I came to Jesus and I drank. Of that life-giving stream;. And now I live in Him. John H. Wal...

Faith, Family, Life and Ministry. Halloween: The Holiday of Good and Evil. There are several different takes that people have on Halloween. Some argue its pagan roots, while others claim its Christian origins. Either way, I thought I'd share a brief blurb on our first real Halloween to speak of in Glasgow. Until this year, we really didn't have much reason to celebrate Halloween (i.e. We didn't have kids old enough to grasp the concept of free candy). Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
