Weekends in San Francisco, at length. Hopefully it’s as close as possible to us sitting at a table with you, sharing about what God’s been doing.

It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he…
Truth and Love...
The reason for his rich friendship is not far to seek. People knew just where they stood with him. Deceit was utterly foreign to his nature. When his friends were wrong, he told them so without mincing matters, and the closer the friend, the blunter his criticisms. Farel chafed under this plainness, but got only the reply: “I entreat you, my dear brother, when I expostulate with you, chide you,...

God has just been so gracious to me recently. I’ve been struggling really hard to find peace related to a big aspect of my future recently. And for a week straight (as of now), God has literally sent one person everyday to somehow encourage me, whether intentionally or unintentionally, mostly the second. It’s just such a big blessing to me.

triplee:
Everybody wants to be loved. Whether we admit it or not, all of us have this natural desire to feel adored and appreciated by others. Many of us spend our entire lives searching for someone to love us, in hopes that somebody- anybody- will satisfy this longing inside.
Well if you’re planning to…

“God spoke to me in the car. I wept. It can’t be the same anymore.”
P: But it’s just money! It’s just a car, a ring, a house. I don’t get why it’s that hard. These things all pass away, right? A brand new car today, a wreck of metal tomorrow. A house now, rubble later.
P: But God, that’s my car. That’s my future marriage on the line. I want to design my own house and pimp it...

imsicknasty:
So I battled last night. I went in to it thinking, “How do I glorify God through this dance?” I decided to battle while wearing a christian t shirt. Okay, cool.
Fast forward to the battles. This one bboy shows up, and he has a bible with him. In a dance form with little to no presence of God, a…
That’s legit. Love seeing people honor God in all that they do.
I usually like coming up with a phrase for the title that kind of captures my thoughts, but I honestly can’t for this. I’m just humbled tonight by how God is sovereign. How he can use non-believers to rebuke me and keep me in His way. Praise be to the Lord!
Get up!
4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people. And they fled before the men of Ai, 5 and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men and chased them before the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became as water.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until...
Wretched man...
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
