Posted on October 23, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

Why did they believe something so preposterous? If the machine was only capable of running only 65 boards per 10 minutes, then how on this particular morning could “Amber” [Name changed – I want to say to protect the stupid, … Continue reading →

Selling our own version, branding God and the gospel.

Posted on October 21, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

How do we take something as attractive and compelling as the gospel and the story of God and make it so unattractive, boring and unconvincing? By we I mean the professing Church. And what I am speaking of is “selling … Continue reading →

Sometimes we have sharp edges.

Posted on October 21, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

Sometimes we make ourselves unapproachable. We want people to reach out to us, but we negatively “reward” people who do.  Oftentimes we can’t control our bitterness or resentment, or possibly we just don’t realize how we come across to people … Continue reading →

Oh me of little faith.

Posted on October 13, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

Are you ever surprised by how little faith you have?  I am. I am not saying this as we sometimes do, slobbering around in false modesty, being “proudly” humble (yech) and all. I am confessing my bewilderment at how little … Continue reading →

I need to remember – God is God

Posted on October 1, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

Say it when there is no audible “Amen”

Posted on September 16, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

Sometimes we have to say it even when we cannot expect a chorus of “Amens” from the brethren. We all seek affirmation from the group in one way or another. And desiring that commonality of purpose isn’t wrong but letting … Continue reading →

Maybe a “double-dog dare” would work? Hmmm…

Posted on September 10, 2007 by Amos Gideon David

(1 John 1:9 NKJV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If I am faithful and just, and really, really mean it – “cross my … Continue reading →
