		<description><![CDATA[“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; Isaiah 58: 6-8 I would encourage you to read the whole chapter of Isaiah 58. What a cool picture of true fasting. A day removed from the beginning of lent I started to reflect on the beginning of my journey. Not yesterday, but my journey from my previous thoughts on fasting to where I am now as I start out on my 40 days. I humbly...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/sacrifice-for-a-king/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jesus became one of us, even a lowly rabbi in the middle of one of the most powerful empires in human history (solidarity). Jesus took on our curse and submitted to death by way of a torturous and bloody crucifixion (submission). i have begun to realize something that should have been obvious to me long ago. that which is systemic and oppressive can only be truly defeated through solidarity and submission. if there&#8217;s anything that the history of human poverty and war has proven to us is that we cannot combat such diseases with that which is easy or seemingly most effective (money or force). Jesus taught us a more narrow, more difficult, more life-giving way. it is true that we will always speak of war and that &#8220;the poor will always be with us,&#8221; but we are told that there was one who came to free us from both...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/submit/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[a few weeks ago i was with my brother james in nashville, and we ended up writing a couple of songs. i wrote this one with easter on my mind. the very basic concept is that there is a way that the world functions. that was is violent and self-serving. Jesus gives us a way to be alive in the presence of death. blood is calling from the ground. Christ came to breath life into that which was dead. those of us who know him are alive in this old town. here you go: everyone came out to fight to save their land and protect their rights they stole, they killed, they died they took their brothers lives but i&#8217;m alive in this old town i&#8217;m alive in this old town some were shown a different way a way to build and not to break they know the way of...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/poetry/alive-in-this-old-town/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. ~Psalm 62:8 A little story I thought I&#8217;d pass along. I hear a still small voice saying &#8220;trust me&#8221; as fears and doubts pour in my head daily. And I speak back saying &#8220;I want to but I can&#8217;t see you&#8221;. I feel like I&#8217;m in a pitch black building with no windows. There are obstacles all over the place and I&#8217;m bumping my knees and stubbing my toes. I&#8217;m crying, part from fear, part from pain, and I just want to get to the door where there is fresh air and sunlight. There are whispers all around and I hear the scurrying of little feet like nails on a chalkboard. My flesh tenses and my head darts from side to side but I still see nothing.

It&#8217;s a common theme, you get a new car cheap, and find a $5 bill on the floor of the local stop and shop and one of your friends mentions &#8220;hey what&#8217;s next? Good things come in 3&#8242;s.&#8221;, and vice versa for bad things. Let me walk you through the last month of my life: I got severally sick for 2 weeks(bed ridden for days at a time), my heat broke, I ran out of heating oil, I hurt my back to where I thought I had just had back surgery again, I was down to my last dollar, a girl at work is trying to make my job hard and for some reason doesn&#8217;t like me, and as soon as I fixed my heat, it...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/defiant/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For in the image of God has God made man. &#8211; Genesis 9:6 Our DNA is hard coded to worship Jesus. For any of us who follow Christ daily this fact is undeniable. When we worship it stirs up emotions we don&#8217;t feel at any other time. At points it drives us to tears of repentance, sometimes tears of joy, and other times tears of shear awe. For those who don&#8217;t serve this God, who have doubt, who have questions, this seems perplexing. How can worshiping something no one can see help me? How can it possible change my life? How do I know it&#8217;s even real? John 16:13 says &#8220;But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth.&#8221; When Jesus died, rose from the dead, and ascended to heaven God sent His Spirit as our guide.(John 16:5-11) In worshiping God and surrendering your...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/were-all-searching/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Therefore what God has joined together, let man not seperate. &#8211; Matthew 19:6 I feel I must get on my soap box after having a conversation a couple of days ago with several non-believers. Two are around my age, one around my dad&#8217;s age. It troubled me to the point I needed a few days to grapple with what it really means. Recalling how the conversation actually started is difficult, and probably irrelevant, but we all somehow managed to get on the conversation of marriage. One spoke up and said he and his wife moved in together and then got married so marriage wasn&#8217;t a &#8220;big decision&#8221; for them. Another chimed in and confirmed, saying her and her husband even bought a house together before getting married. The older of the 3, in partial disbelief, said &#8220;what is the world coming to?&#8221;. And proclaimed that it was much different in...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/dont-play-house/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>
