I. Free to Serve We are working our way through seven “one another” commands. We began with “love one another,” because love is the command behind all the others, and then we looked at “accept one another” – love at the front door. Still ahead of us are bearing one another’s burdens, encouraging one another, … Continue reading Serve One Another
I. Introduction Most organizations want to be recognized. Companies spend millions of dollars to create logos so you can recognize them. Here’s a quick quiz — how many of these company logos can you name? Answers: Row 1: Marriott, Shell, Nike, Popeyes, Pepsi, Atari, Union 76, ToyotaRow 2: Prudential, AT&T, Chevrolet, Adobe, John Deere, McDonald's, … Continue reading Love One Another
In 1 Peter 2:18-25, Peter instructs believers to submit to their masters, emphasizing respectful conduct even in harsh situations. He advocates for enduring unjust suffering as a commendable act of faith, mirroring Christ’s example. Ultimately, such trials lead to spiritual strength and divine recognition, reaffirming God's purpose in believers' lives.
The letters of 1st and 2nd Peter offer encouragement to believers enduring persecution, emphasizing their identity as God's elect and exiles. Addressing societal pressures, Peter highlights themes of divine election, sanctification, and hope through Christ. Believers are reminded of their eternal inheritance and the protective power of God in navigating life's challenges.
Ephesians 5:1-21 emphasizes living in reflection of God’s character through love, light, and wisdom. Paul encourages believers to embody Christ-like love, reject immoral behaviors, and make intentional, Spirit-led choices. This transformation fosters community unity and a distinctive witness in a morally ambiguous culture, underscoring the significance of intentional Christian living.
Our grief when a loved one passes is real. But for those who place their hope in Jesus Christ, eternal life awaits. #hope #rapture #biblestudy #Jesus #sleep
I. Introduction Be in the world, not of the world. This phrase isn’t in the bible, but it is a concept expressed by a great many verses. In John 17:14-15, the night Jesus was betrayed, Jesus prays to the Father for all believers, I have given them your word and the world has hated … Continue reading Living as Strangers
I. Introduction From time to time, we all come to a big decision in our lives. I've lost my job; what should I do now? I have a medical issue; how should I treat it? Is this person right for me? Should I compromise, or should I stand my ground? We are faced with decisions … Continue reading Praying About Difficult Decisions
I. Introduction I visited a coworker in the hospital this weekend. He told me he was at home watching tv when the doorbell rang. When he opened the door, there was a 6 foot cockroach standing there. Before he could say anything, the cockroach punched in the stomach and ran off. The next night, he … Continue reading Security in God
How would you introduce Christ to a room full of people?
Welcome to the CLXXVIII edition of the Christian Carnival. Whoa, CLXXVIII. That's a lot of Roman letters just to say it's the 278th edition. My apologies for the late edition. Real life, as always, got in the way. No excuses, I'm just late. This week's best Christian writing is presented for your intellectual perusement and … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLXXVIII
Image via WikipediaIntroduction Last week, Michelle taught from Isaiah 6. This week, the lesson covers Isaiah 7-23. When I first started studying, I though, whoa, we're supposed to cover 16 chapters? I spoke to Fred about this last Saturday; he said there was no problem covering all 16 chapters, he would enjoy a thorough lesson. … Continue reading Act on Revealed Truth
Welcome to the CCLXV edition of the Christian Carnival, this week's collection of the best Christian writing on the planet. Prolific writing this week, too! There are a huuuge number of submissions. Grab a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy. Richard H. Anderson presents Shalom for the shepherds posted at dokeo kago grapho … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLXV
First, some background about the way I select my clothes in the morning. I generally put the freshly laundered clothes on the left side of the closet, and select clothes to wear from the right side. I suspect women select their clothes based on mood, impression, temperature, moon phase, and other factors I can't deduce, … Continue reading Pink and Green
From Obama's speech last night - Most economists almost unanimously recognize that, even if philosophically you’re — you’re wary of government intervening in the economy, when you have the kind of problem we have right now — what started on Wall Street, goes to Main Street, suddenly businesses can’t get credit, they start paring back … Continue reading Most Economists Agree – The Stimulus is a Bad Idea
The best way to give wings to the Christmas Spirit is to give gifts to people who need them. My wife and I exchanged few gifts this year, opting instead to give to charities instead. Instead of giving somebody a trinket they didn't need, we'd ask them what their favorite charity was. Then we'd give … Continue reading How to Gain the Christmas Spirit
The message of Christmas is simple: God loved us, so He sent His son to us. We're celebrating His birthday. Ways to celebrate this gift to us are many, and bring peace and joy to us, knowing that God loves us. We can spend time with those we love. We can spend time with those … Continue reading How to Kill the Christmas Spirit
God bless Joellen Murphy for her ministry. Joellen Murphy is putting together a campaign to counter atheist messages at Christmastime. Atheists in the nation's capitol have been campaigning to get Americans to doubt God's existence this Christmas, but one Christian woman is standing up against their efforts. Joellen Murphy had been praying for a chance … Continue reading I Believe Too
I could call this the "Day After Trying to Recover From What Might Have Been a Minor Flu Edition," but I won't. Christmas Season and Flu Season accompany each other every year, like Hansel and Gretel, or Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. I had just enough aches and pains to baby myself to prevent a flu... heck, … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCLIV
We’ve been studying the rise of David as King of Israel. David is an interesting man, full of failures, yet David is a man after God’s own heart. What makes David different? How is David different than Saul? As we studied in 1 Samuel, the people of Israel demanded a king and God gave them … Continue reading Responding to Loss
Image via WikipediaWhen I was a child, I celebrated Halloween. I didn't care for the gory and gruesome stuff. I didn't even care for the scary stuff. I thought the costumes were fun, and I loved the candy. As an adult, I see more evil in the world thatn I'd like to admit. Today in … Continue reading Happy Halloween
Image via WikipediaIt's National Bailout Day, seeing as how our illustrious US Congress has allocated $700 billion for Wall Street bankers. As Christians, I think we probably could put $700 billion to better use, don't you? But I got to thinking that our lives are not ours, we have been purchased at a cost. How … Continue reading Christian Carnival CCXLIV
I must be a target, then. U.S. presidential rivals Barack Obama and John McCain target religious voters on Saturday when as guests of one of America's foremost evangelists they discuss faith in public life, AIDS, the environment and other issues. Neither of the candidates appeal to me from a spiritual conviction. McCain can be downright … Continue reading Targeting Religious Voters
La Shawn Barber asks Obama, "Who Do You Say Jesus Is?" Obama portrays himself a man of faith. But a man's level of faith is far less important than what he has placed his faith in. If you have a tremendous amount of faith in the Energizer Bunny, it's far less effective than faith the … Continue reading Question for Obama: Who Do You Say Jesus Is?
When the US Government funds anything remotely Christian in nature, all sorts of "separation of church and state" groups get upset. The ACLU files a lawsuit and the "offensive" Christian material is removed. So why is it ok for US tax dollars to be used to oppose Christianity? Shouldn't the same standard be used? PBS, … Continue reading PBS and the Separation of Church and State
Go get'em, James Dobson. Obama had some very liberal interpretations of what the bible says, and simultaneously tried to minimize Christian influence in politics *and* say that all religious discussions are welcome. James is firing back against what he called a "fruitcake interpetation of the bible." I love that phrase. News sources come from here … Continue reading Fruitcake Interpretation of the Bible
This week, Chasing the Wind is honored to host the 228th edition of the Christian Carnival, a collection of this week's best Christian blogging.

I was idly going through the contacts on my handheld PDA the other day while returning from a business trip, and I decided I needed a better system to file people. I have roughly 400 people in my PDA under the following categories: 65 "Business - Home" 130 "Business - Work" 30 "Faith" 150 "Personal" … Continue reading Categorizing People
Our church hosts Nick Vujicic this weekend, an absolutely amazing, joyous man who was born without limbs. There is a joy in surrendering your life to Christ, and Nick exhibits it with an enthusiastic smile that you can't help bu catch from him because his smile is so contagious. So much so, in fact, that … Continue reading Life Without Limbs
Welcome to the 208th edition of the Christian Carnival, a weekly amalgomation of this week's best Christian writing. Chasing the Wind is humbled to host such a fine collection of postings this week; I suggest picking a few titles below and clicking them; you won't find a finer collection of Christian thoughts anywhere on the … Continue reading Christian Carnival 208
I've decided against continuing my weekly update of the Christian Carnival blogroll. If you were using it, I hope you enjoyed it. After 2 years of updating it, I think I'm going to rely on other automated sources. One source is at Blogcarnival; a widget for your blog is here. It looks like this: There … Continue reading Blogrolling Christian Carnival (Update)
The Houston Chronicle has a story about the "tradition" of regifting Christmas presents - Scrambling to find the perfect, last-minute Christmas gift? Then put down that bottle of wine. And please — back away from the blender. Chances are the person you give them to will slap new bows on the boxes and pass them … Continue reading The Tradition of Regifting
After two years of updating the Blogroll for the Christian Carnival, I'm considering discontinuing this effort. If you run a blog that uses this blogroll, drop me a comment and I'll consider keeping it going.
"What really matters is the celebration of the birth of Christ and being with our family and our friends." - Mike Huckabee
I heartily recommend the new movie Bella that just opened. There was a special screening tonight at a local theater where we got a chance to speak to the lead actor, Eduardo Verastegui, who seems absolutely genuine about putting together movies that express positive messages. He told us that after giving his life to Christ, … Continue reading Bella
Max Lucado writes as only he can, with insight and brevity, packaged in powerful imagery. His latest book, 3:16, is packed with delivious observations and challenges, and he does it by focusing on 27 simple words. For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son so that whoever believes in … Continue reading Review: 3:16. The Numbers of Hope

I want what Vicky Kuyper has. Not the travels - I get to do that for business. Not the lifestyle, either.

Jesus and Money Recently in a comment, I was challenged regarding posting my stock selections; the concern from Chris was that such financial considerations were incongruous with the teachings of Jesus. Chris Says: September 18th, 2007 at 11:03 am I find it somewhat ironic and mildly amusing that your blog contains articles of spirituality along … Continue reading Jesus and Money
Christian apologetics books can be pretty dry, but Lee Stroble makes it warm and personable. Instead of lecturing the reader on such topics as "Did the church alter early gospels to suit a political purpose?" and "Was Jesus married to Mary Magdelene," the author instead takes you on a journey to visit world renowned archaeologists … Continue reading Review: The Case for the Real Jesus
Christian Carnival 189 is up at Diary of 1. Best Christian blogging *and* all you wanted to know about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. What a combo. 🙂
Amy chronicled her battle with leukemia, and showed how to fight the battle with a warm, loving, patient, Christian heart. We will all go to be with our Lord someday; Amy's day was yesterday.

Through the Motley Fool, I read a few forums; a participant recently posted a review that included a discussion of Christian faith, postmodernism, Captain Kirk and Captain Picard. It's a terrific book review and offers some insight into those that dwell in a postmodern world. Those of us with faith in Jesus may find insight … Continue reading Evangelism, Postmodernism, and Star Trek
Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, has been all over the news recently. Indicted for dog-fighting, his friends turning witness against him, loss of his quarterback position and the millions of dollars in signing bonuses and advertising deals, Michael Vick has certainly learned a hard and probably one-way lesson. And given the atrocious stories about … Continue reading Michael Vick: Where is Jesus?
Christian Carnival #186 is up... here! Chasing the Wind is humbled to host the Carnival this week. Without further ado, here are this week's best Christian blogging.

From the Houston Chronicle this morning - McNair has revealed much of himself in five trying seasons. Even in the worst of times, he never blamed anyone else, never lashed out at the press, never fired anyone in a fit of anger. Patience? He has a warehouse of it. He has been a gracious winner … Continue reading McNair Deserves to Own a Winner
It's good to see somebody putting their money and their life where their faith is. I learned something about Dominos Pizza today: The founder, Tom Monaghan, is a faithful Catholic. He's used his fortune to found the town of Ave Maria, Florida. What makes Ave Maria so special is that it's designed for Christians. Tom's … Continue reading Ave Maria
Taliban fundamentalists kill an unarmed Korean Christian. Please pray for the other 22 Christians still held captive, 18 of whom are women. Reuters identifies them as "church volunteers" killed by "Taliban." Michelle Malking correctly identifies them by their religion. Westerners like to obscure the religion because it's uncomfortable, but the radlical Islamists have no qualms … Continue reading Muslims Kill Korean Christian
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know I haven't posted much. Been really, really busy. I still owe Jennifer my answers to The Eight. I'll get to it, soon, I hope.

Chris Byrd, IBF Heavyweight Boxing Champion, was at our church this weekend and briefly shared his firm belief in Jesus Christ with us. He was funny, too.

In no particular order - Building the ark: Greenpeace activists are building an ark on Mount Ararat. Amusing. Of course, Greenpeace isn't a Christian organization (they don't seem to be anti-Christian, as far as I can tell) but they border on Christian mockery to make a point about global warming. Obscene bible: In Hong Kong … Continue reading Mid-Week Links and Oddities
Disclaimer: I am not God. Any judgemental statements are purely a result of my own hypocritical sinful nature. I know not who goes to heaven save me for the grace of God.

Some highlights - Playing Your Instrument (using your spiritual gifts) The Uniqueness of Christian Ecology (God signs His covenant with His creation) Lessons from the Terminal Illness that Wasn't (Make the most of every … Continue reading Christian Carnival 171
The news isn't interesting yet again today. Republicans admire the Democrat's desire to surrender. I don't disagree that the Iraq war must end eventually, I just don't think Congress should be dictating it. But I'm alone on that point, I think. Tammy Faye Bakker is preparing to die, but aren't we all. I don't spend … Continue reading Bits and Pieces
My brain is still stuffed with sand. I feel awake early in the morning, but I know I'm not. It becomes abundantly clear to me later if I reread my early morning posts. i'm repetitive, I make spelling misakes, I leave out entire words. An hour later, I'll think, "man, there's something not quite right … Continue reading Monday Morning
Christian Carnival CLXX (170) is up at Brain Cramps for God. If you're interested in the behind-the-scenes look of Christian Carnival, or you have a Christian Blog and would like to participate, this week's Carnival has some information interspersed among the posts.
Oh my goodness what a fabulous book that was. It's not a deeply theological book, it doesn't get into controversial issues, it simply describes the joy of loving God. The author, Margaret Feinberg, doesn't delve into religious issues that can separate Christians today. Instead, she challenges us to strip away our pre-conceived notions of who … Continue reading The Organic God
Barrack Hussein Obama describes himself as a Christian and the New York Times is almost besides itself with glee. Notice the picture and how holy Obama appears. I like Christians, I really do. I happen to be one. But those people that routinely exhibit their Christian faith are routinely trashed by the New York Times. … Continue reading Barack Hussein Obama: Self-Described Christian
First, prayers for the previous administrator of the Christian Carnival are needed. Dory of Wittenberg Gate has suddenly gone missing, so pray for her well-being and health. The Christian Carnival is trying to reorganize as Christian Carnival II. If you're interested in becoming part of this resurrected carnival, join the Google Group Christian Carnival II.
I don't see how this passes for news. A Houston Chronicle reporter doesn't like bible studies going on in the courthouse. Just before 12:30 p.m. almost every Tuesday, Judge James Squier leaves his 312th Court and heads upstairs to the seventh floor of the Harris County Family Law Center. There, in an associate judge's chamber, … Continue reading Book of Judges
Unbroken Tracy Elliott When I first started reading this book, I was expecting a testimony from somebody who had given their life to Christ and how Christ had helped them turn their life around. Christ is powerful and changes the lives of believers. Travy Elliott's story is a little different. She gave her life to … Continue reading Review: Unbroken
I mentioned earlier that the secular marketing campaign before every Easter tries to derail the faith in the resurrection of Jesus. This year, it was a blockbuster-style "documentary" that the remains of Jesus had been found in a tomb. Pay no attention to all those archaeologists that debunked this claim years ago, this time it's … Continue reading The Tomb That Isn't
Ah. A lightbulb goes off. I read several posts this Easter weekend about the dangers of forming a theocracy. The Houston Chronicle linked to one at Feet to the Fire: The banwitdth devoted to the dangers of Church to State is enormous. Being righteous lefties that analysis comes easy to us. As a lefty who … Continue reading Blog Against Theophobes
What's my gripe with public education? Besides the fact they seem to be devolving into a giant secular babysitting service, it's public money - my money - being used to teach young people values that oppose my values. I don't mind being opposed, really. I *do* mind being taxed to fund my opposition. The latest … Continue reading Christian Terrorists and Public Education
Cleaning up the website to match the new template, I don't know where I should post the old Blogrolls I no longer use (but I still want to maintain the links. I'm posting them here for now, but there's no need for you to click this link to continue, there's nothing interesting there. Eventually as … Continue reading Blogrolls
Last week I wrote about Christian Submission to authorities so it seemed only right that a trip to Washington D.C. was in order. The wife & I planned a little mini-vacation to stay with a Russian friend in Alexandria, Virginia, just a piece up the ways (man it feels good to speak Texan again) from … Continue reading Washington D.C.
Ah, there it is. I wondered where the Christian Carnival was this week. 🙂

This week's best Christian blogging is up at Everyday Liturgy.
Took my favorite date with me yesterday afternoon (my wife) to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Had a great time. We watched two little chicks breaking out of their shells and a small crowd had gathered to root for them. The one we called "hermit crab" one, but not by much. Then we saw … Continue reading Josh Turner at the Rodeo
This week's Christian Carnival is up, and it's being hosted this week... here, at Chasing the Wind! I've decided to categorize the entries this week into posts about Jesus, posts about our relationships, and posts about us. Jesus tells us we are to love him and love our neighbor as ourselves, and that reminds me … Continue reading Christian Carnival CLXIII
It's amazing. When I talk to people that don't know Christ, some of them don't even believe He lived. Or they except tripe like Da Vinci Code as truth of a coverup. But let some big shot director shoot a movie about 27 year news, they immediately believe that. Why are the falsehoods so easy … Continue reading Why So Quick to Believe?
"Too preachy?" That's a new one to me. Hollywood is taking out all the factual, religious elements of the movie Amazing Grace and replacing them with secular, humanistic socio-political motives.

Christian Carnival CLXII is up at Brain Cramps for God. This is a great carnival -- come and enjoy.
The Evangelical Ecologist hosts this week's Christian Carnival CLXI, this week's best Christian postings. Hey, Chasing the Wind is on there this week. I'll post hosting the carnival here on February 28th; I'm starting to get a little apprehensive because it looks like a lot of work. Eeep!
I was at the gym last night, working on the treadmill. My usual habit is to listen to stuff on my iPod Shuffle, a mix of Country & Western, 70's Rock, 90's Folk Music, Spike Jones, Contemporary Christian, A Capella African Christian, Jazz, and sermons. Ok, so there's no real coherent theme there. In front … Continue reading I Need a Shower
Good friends that work for Campus Crusade for Christ have put up a new website I'd like to recommend. While the intended audience for their site are the students of Stephen F.

Do we know which Old Testament Laws apply to Christians? It's a good question. We know the legalistic rules no longer apply - I was just reading 1 Corinthians 7:17-20 today while studying how we are to bloom where we are planted, and Paul is clear that "Keeping God's commands is what counts" but he … Continue reading Old Testament Laws
God spoke the universe into existence. Everything is made for His glory, including us. Something interesting a Christian friend shared with me this week. At the far edges of the universe, about as far as we can see, is the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). It's 23 million light years away. Here's a photo from the Hubble … Continue reading God is in the Big Things, God is in the Small Things
Christian Carnival CLX is up and rarin' to go at Crossroads - Where Faith and Inquiry Meet.
Christian Carnival #152 is now up at thoughtsofagyrovague.com . No really. That's the name of the website.
Are we up to #158 already? Something doesn't quite seem right. Anyway, the next Christian Carnival is up at the Participatory Bible Study Blog. See if you can find the Chasing the Wind article, then click it and see if you come back here. It would amuse me, anyway. 🙂
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things … Continue reading Daily Manna – 2 Corinthians 9:6-9
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

The latest Christian Carnival is up at Parableman. Always a source of refreshing Christian posts, and I like this group so much I've volunteered to host it here at Chasing the Wind on February 28th.

Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together with one accord for the faith of the gospel without being … Continue reading Daily Manna – Philippians 1:27-29
It turns out blogging is hard when you don't have access to a computer. Oh sure, there's the carrier pigeon, but that can be messy. I skipped many, many days.
