		<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[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). It...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/wielding-your-knife/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<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[I am stunned by the lack of compassion and the brutal use of force by Christians. My Jesus never did any of that. I&#8217;m at a loss. The below conversation is real. I&#8217;ve only removed the names for anonymity. Below it you will find my thoughts about the whole thing. This conversation started as a result of a comment about the immigration law that was recently passed in Arizona PERSON 1 &#8220;is planning a trip out to Az. I will support them regardless of what the uninformed Boston city council says.&#8221; Now, these are the comments that followed: Dana Fisher: Maybe we should reread James 2. Maybe their motives aren&#8217;t pure and maybe they are trying to take advantage but who are we to judge? Hasn&#8217;t Christ called us to something higher than persecuting someone because they are from another country? Since when was this land &#8220;ours&#8221; and not the...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/american-christianity/keep-your-sword-ill-keep-my-jesus/">[Read More]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ~1 Corinthians 13:2 A while back God really pressed upon my heart to pray for someone. I was in a broken place, a place where God&#8217;s voice and direction could not have been any clearer. And so I prayed. I prayed ferverently, both day and night, when I woke, when I went to bed, any moment I thought about this person, I prayed. Sometimes it was just a quick thought other times it was a long conversation but I have never prayed that hard in my entire life. For 6 weeks this went on, day after day. And then one day I was given some information that forced me to a decision. You see, Satan whispers in our ears, and sometimes those words come out in our conversations with others. I should have seen...  <a href="http://www.brokenstones.com/christian-living/mountains-to-molehills/">[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>
