		<description><![CDATA[pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks ~1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 My prayer life has sucked lately. It&#8217;s one of those things you don&#8217;t dare say as a Christian but if we are honest with each other I think we can all admit we have times where we just struggle with some particular part of our walk, whether it be prayer or reading or being kind or patient. For whatever reason though it&#8217;s okay to admit we are struggling with patience but prayer and staying in the Word seem uncouth as if we lose part of our Christianity if we dare admit it. I&#8217;m unclear why I felt dried up in this area. In reflection there are things on the horizon for me which will require deeper strength and diligence and wisdom. Perhaps like a tree without water I needed to be thirsty in order to grow roots much deeper into...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/awake-from-your-slumber/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don&#8217;t push your way to the front; don&#8217;t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don&#8217;t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand. ~Philippians 2:1-4(The Message) Imagine losing everything. Imagine uprooting your entire family. Your house is gone. Your clothes. Your children&#8217;s toy and books, your photographs and memories crushed. Imagine your job is gone and the only option you have left is to leave your country. Imagine. What kind of panic would settle in your mind? What kind...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/become-a-movement/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<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[While at Bloom this Sunday night Pastor Andrew Arndt read this poem. I had never before heard it and thought it would be awesome to pass along as we enter lent and the spring season: Be the Gardener of my Soul Spirit of the Living God, be the Gardener of my soul. For so long I have been waiting silent, and still— experiencing a winter of the soul. But now, in the strong name of Jesus Christ, I dare to ask: Clear away the dead growth of the past, Break up the hard clouds of custom and routine, Stir in the rich compost of vision and challenge, Bury deep in my soul the implanted Word, Cultivate and water and tend my heart, Until new life buds and opens and flowers. Amen —Unknown]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was originally authored by John Shorack and posted by a friend of mine, Tim Colegrove on his blog site Tanks to Tractors. I couldn&#8217;t help but repost again. Manifesto We confess that Jesus is Lord, the full revelation of the God of the Old Testament and that before Him every knee will bow. We confess that Jesus is Christ, Israel’s Messiah, and Savior of the world who conquered the power of evil on the cross.  We agree with Jesus’ call to undivided allegiance to God: &#8220;No one can serve two masters…” (Matt 6:24), and “Love the Lord your God with all your heart…and your neighbor as yourself.” We also reaffirm that: “God so loved the world…” and has sent us with that love to society’s outcasts and our country’s enemies. Like Jesus, we must say ‘yes’ to the kingdom of God, and ‘no’ to all allegiances that compromise the furthering of...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/non-violent-resistance/jesus-creed/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. ~1 Peter 4:13 You ever notice the more you veer towards the Lord the harder life becomes? That straight and narrow path is narrow for a reason and sometimes, certainly for me, it feels as if either side is a ledge. When I look back at some of the big trials in my life I see a moment in time on that same point where I made a decision for Christ and against the World. We don&#8217;t teach that in Sunday School. We teach hey come give your life to Jesus and watch the blessings flow. I believe Christianity need come with a warning. Those blessings do abound but they come at a price. They also often come inside peace that surpasses understanding. I realize this is hard...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/american-christianity/suffering-for-christ/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. ~Genesis 22:10 As I made my way through customs on U.S. soil I knew the attacks would be coming swiftly. No sooner do we come down off the mountain with Jesus then the wave of doubt and destruction and hardships come crashing against us like the ocean hitting the sea wall. Sure enough, I set my bags in the car, sat down in the passenger seat and it began. I would be headed to Denver soon, uprooting my entire life, leaving my friends, family, and church behind. Most of my possessions would be gone and I would be traveling with only what would fit in two cars. It was not an easy decision by any means and one with which I wrestled for a very long time(and even still struggle with even after the fact).

		<description><![CDATA[My little nephew was running around the house as we waited for the rehearsal dinner for my sisters wedding playing with his toy sword and killing bad guys(rocks). As someone asked him where he was going after mommy got married he started rambling on about his &#8220;big friends&#8221; in rapid succession: Mickey, Goofy, Donald, Tinkerbell. He is so excited to go see them. The whole situation of love, marriage, and superhero&#8217;s got me thinking. The story of Superman is fascinating as a young kid. Someone who can&#8217;t be hurt, who fights for justice, and rights the wrongs. He has one only weakness, kryptonite, that make his power hopeless and strips him down to human. Since, as a little kid, we don&#8217;t know of any kryptonite, we run around pretending simply that we are invincible and can fix or right anything. Somewhere along the line as we grow older we lose...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/love-marriage-and-super-heros/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling. ~Ephesians 4:4 I had been thinking about this over the last few weeks, how desperately we were all seeking revival and a change of heart. Not only in this country but around the world. My conversation last week with Christians about immigration(see here) spurred me to really think about it more. My conclusion is the Lord is moving&#8230;despite Christians. We can&#8217;t get out of our own way. It&#8217;s ridiculous. There is so much in-fighting. So much he-said / she-said bickering that the Lord is forced to use others in our place. You&#8217;re church is not &#8220;the body&#8221;, my church is not &#8220;the body&#8221;. We are ALL the body. Knock it off. Without a doubt, God is up there saying Knock it off. There is a lot of prayer going on around the...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/radical-christianity/revival-at-what-cost/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>
