Response to the Topic of Walking in the Holy Spirit (Sep22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we enlisted ourselves trying to seek after the Holy Spirit. Yet I must challenge that right off the starting line. I think we are being pursued. In fact, I believe we are already purchased, just on layaway. We are on layaway! And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,…
Response to the Topic of Being Transformed by Scripture (Oct22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we sought to be surrendered by the transformation of the Holy Scriptures. When we are immersed in water, we stay wet, when we leave the environment – we eventually dry out and there is not any evidence most likely that we were ever soaked. Such is the need to stay…
Response to the Topic of Growing in Prayer & Faith (Nov22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection Wherever the providence of God may dump us down, in a slum, in a shop, in the desert, we have to labour along the line of His direction. Never allow this thought—“I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly can be of no use where you are not! Wherever…
Response to the Topic of Walking in Humility (Dec22 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Try not to become a man of success,” said Albert Einstein, “but try to become a man of value.” While there may be some exceptions, it is usually true that valuable people are eventually recognized and appropriately honored. Success that comes only from self-promotion is temporary, and you may be embarrassed as…
Response to the Topic of Living a Life of Love & Obedience (Jan23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Let us beg of God to enable us to prove ourselves his children.” Matthew Henry and Thomas Scott, Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, 1997), Mt 5:43. This month we sought to be challenged to living a life of love & obedience. What is love and what…
Response to the Topic of Pursuing G-d’s Call on Your Life (Feb23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Winners of souls are first weepers for souls.” Someone This month we sought to reflect on what or perhaps could be our calling. Are we destined to be the next famous sports star or perhaps a little lower in the form of a great saint such as Mother Theresa? Or maybe a…
Response to the Topic of Defending the Faith: Cultural Apologetics (Mar23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Winners of souls are first weepers for souls.” This month we dipped our toe in the proverbial sea of apologetical vastness. Of course before you take any first step, you need to have a desire (unless you are dragged) and the opportunity and hopefully thereafter the ability. This is what my…
Response to the Topic of Commending the Faith – Conversational Apologetics (Apr23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection “Winners of souls are first weepers for souls.” Someone This month we continued to wade our toe and walk in a bit deeper into the proverbial sea of apologetical vastness. Let me be clear: this sea is overwhelming. Questions and questioners, real vs relative truth, facts vs feelings, not to…
Response to the Topic of Our Mission: Making Disciples (May23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month we are called those old sayings: put rubber to the road, put your money where your mouth speaks, or put the peddle to the mettle. This is the end of year one of the CSLI Fellows program. The end of the curriculum, the end of the small group I have…
Response to the Topic of Psalm 103 Life Application (Jun23 CSLI)
A Monthly Reflection This month is a direct reflection regarding life application of the Scriptural text of Psalm 103. It’s all about the heart. What is our heart’s desire and how can it grow? The text explains in various fashions that we have two views. One is of G-d himself and His attributes such as…
