God Has Something To Say -- From Ezekiel 18

God has something to say.

Imagine a righteous man who always does what is right:

First, he worships Me exclusively; he doesn't indulge in gluttony or excess, nor does he worship idols like money or success—he doesn't even think about it! He puts God first above everything else; money, sex, success, relationships. Nothing gets in the way of God.

Second, he does not sleep with anyone but his wife. He doesn’t have sex before He is committed to His wife.  He doesn’t watch porn. He is in control of His sexual appetite.

Portrait of a Prophet: Daniel (spoken word full text)

After much prayer and reflection, I gave this spoken word poem at Vineyard Community Church on 4/6/14 over the life of Daniel the Prophet.

On The Shores of Babylon


Daniel's Answer to The King by Briton Riviere (1890)


God is my Judge
That’s what my name means
You may know me as Daniel
But they even tried to take that from me
I know you live in an age of plenty
You think yourselves quite mighty
And scoff at the idea of tyranny
But take a minute, remove this cultural context which is so blinding
And step into my shoes, you’ll see what I mean

March Update: My Official Job Location Decision

It's Official

I am proud to officially announce that I'm going to be a full-time InterVarsity campus missionary at Central University in Pella, Iowa!!!  It was a long process and I spent a lot of time in prayer and talking with friends and family, but I have no doubt that Central is where God wants me to be.  Go Dutch!

Here's the story.

I never got to sign a letter of intent when I came to play football at Drake, so I decided to fake a signing to go on staff at Central.
