I hope the limes don’t turn sour
A lime truck near my house crashed and limes went every where, so the neighborhood, including my parents, decided they needed several bags of limes. I am still not sure what a family can do with several bags of limes, in fact I cannot think of a fruit with less uses than a [...]
I am reluctant to post this…
But it is important to not only know what the world says about the God who is, but also to know what the church is saying God is like. This video is certainly upsetting but after is my reply to my friend: My Reply: I saw that video, I certainly hated his delivery, [...]
Idols
I have recently realized that I have idolized the Bible/church. Idolize: To adore with exaggerated reverence. I am re-learning how to type, so this is short, it took two whole songs to type this blog. Your Friend, -Isaac
This seems to be good news.
I certainly don’t know as much about Grace as I would like to know. Even so, I believe that like Gideon’s 300 soldiers, God has people do things with no strength so we know where the strength came from. I certainly do not know enough to teach on grace, but I guess that is the [...]
Venting
Sometimes we are given the adrenaline or strong desire to ‘vent’. I think venting is God’s way of getting us fired up with enough courage to talk to the person directly. But usually we take that God given energy and blog or talk to someone else about it. Venting is necessary but I think it’s [...]
Good News:Bad News
I’ve heard many times “preach the good news” or “preach the gospel”, which apparently gospel is a word for “good news”. So at this point I’m beginning to wonder, “what is the good news?”. Good news seems to be relative, for example, if the Yankees win the world series against the Red Sox, a [...]
Answers
Sometimes I feel like I need more answers, but I have no idea what questions to ask.
porn:facebook:bible
A lot of people look down on pornography, some wonder why, some know exactly why, and some just feel that it is wrong but are not sure why. Porn gives a false hope and false fulfillment of sex. Over a course of time the viewer believes they will soon be able to have sex anytime and [...]
Friends/Marriage/Growing up [06.10.06]
There is something unexplainable about your best friend getting married. When we were kids I have always had time to spend the night every Friday night, we talked about girls and told each other who our crushes were at the time. I remember after performing at out of town shows with Puppets INChrist, and having to sleep [...]
Pre-warped tour prayer
[The great thing about this site is I can categorize my blogs, this falls under my past handwritten journal entries that I've read recently and they've helped me] [This was a prayer I wrote down before my first warped tour in 2007] In the next few months I will be in front of [...]
Tone-deaf perfection
I went to a church and during the musical worship service a semi-mentally handicapped person brought his own tambourine and musical spoons. Now I don’t get into cooperate musical worship as much as people think I should. But when this man started beating his tambourine incredibly off-beat I really got into worship. I was really thinking [...]
Art of Worship
Something that came to my mind a week ago has been changing my actions and thoughts for the better: If art is the imitation of life. Then worship must be the imitation of God. Basically you can sing a hymn and fail to worship, I know that’s nothing new to your ears. But I think I [...]
