Another Prime Anniversary (17)

17 years ago this day, God blessed me with an amazing helper and friend, my wife Caitlin.

She has been with me through years of want and years of plenty.

We have encouraged each other through college degrees, and she made it possible to finally finish my M.Div. after two attempts and two schools.

We have been members (or “members”) of six churches, four of which I have been in leadership roles of some capacity. She has helped me grow in Christ and as a leader, especially as a pastor. This has helped me step into a new pastoral role, and she is an amazing pastor’s wife.

I know she has grown in Christ, for I have seen it, yet I pray she continues to grow deeper in her love and commitment to Christ and in drawing others nearer to Him.

She’s also beautiful and has become quite the amazing cook!

To quote The Beatles, “and I love her.”

Thank You, Lord, for this blessing. May we be a picture of Christ and His Church.

I love you, Caitlin!

Signed,

Daniel

Moscow Mood: Middle Finger?

As an overreaction to the feminist movement there’s a lot of talk these days about manhood among some quarters online. I think there’s a place for being tough as a man of God.  But there seems to me a lot of hype and edgy online contents that is more LARPing than real biblical manhood.  And […]

VerseD: Acts 20:24

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24, ESV

We have been called to faithfulness. It is God’s grace that helps us remain faithful, especially to share the Gospel of grace to this world, even if it costs us our earthly lives. That was the cost for our grace from Jesus.

VerseD: 1 John 1:9

But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

‭1 John 1:9, NLT‬
