I know, I know, “Peter woke up and chose violence,” but for some reason I find myself pondering how much idolatry exists within the church today where we click “subscribe” to follow Jesus but really it’s a Jesus shaped in our own image rather than the Jesus who shapes us in his🧵

But I can’t point the finger at anyone else, not when I see this tendency so clearly in my own heart.
If you know the song “I have decided to follow Jesus,” you’ll recognize this tune. Playing around with a version that goes a little something like:

“I’ve clicked subscribe now to follow Jesus,
Till I turn back, till I turn back.”
Feels just the right amount of familiar and poignant at the same time.
If you were writing this song, what verse would you add next?

Listening to “The Color Green,” and I’m reminded of so many good songs in living color. I think I’m going to make a playlist of them all… what else should be included?

I used to believe in God.
Now, I simply believe him.

How does this strike you?
Testing out some phrasing.

What is it called when you’re perpetually in the right place at the right time?
There are entire days, maybe even months and years, where it’s like I’ve got a straight IV going of liquid luck because of how every moment seems to be in total alignment with the universe.

Genesis 3:6
“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree…she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”
On this night we remember a particular meal.

Matthew 26:26-28
“Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread…and said, ‘Take, eat; this is my body.’”
Take… eat…
Through one tree came ruin.
Through another comes redemption.
Hallelujah, what a Savior.

One of my favorite things to do is peruse the aisles of a library, collect a few titles that grab me, and spend an hour or two reading various pieces of them all. It may not seem like deep work (after all, how can you possibly get to the depth of any one book with this approach),

…but the insight that emerges from the thread of this otherwise disparate collection is unparalleled.
Try it sometime, you’ll be amazed what you learn about yourself and the world around you.

Back in the days when I thought I’d be an animator when I grew up…then Shrek came out and I knew that dream was over.

I firmly believe that we can literally feel the amount of handmade human care put into something.
That’s why the old animated films often feel like they have more “soul.”
That is the expression of human care you’re sensing.
I hope we don’t lose this.

You know what Jesus never said?
“Watch out for that slippery slope.”
But you know what he did say? “Watch the fruit.” (Matt. 7:15-20)
Because when the fruit is rotten, it’s time to rethink what’s at the root.

Quick reminder:
What’s happening in Iran is no more the battle of Armageddon than every other war of all of time. The blood “up to the knees” is less a statement on the brutality of a single event, and more a metaphor on the sum total of suffering caused by human violence.

Armageddon is where humanity goes when it follows the beast of empire. The New Jerusalem is where humanity goes when it follows the way of the Lamb.

Nothing like chaperoning a school dance to remind you just how glad you are to have been homeschooled.
