Unfathomable Holiness

How do you relate to God? How would you classify your relationship with the Creator of the Universe, the Author of Eternity?My wife Mandy and I were on a long road trip recently, which gave us a great opportunity for long, deep discussions. One of the questions she asked on our most recent trip was related to a guy’s view of our relationship with God. She was telling me that as she considers her relationship with Christ, she most often relates to the idea of the church being the Bride of Christ: Christ loving the church as a husband. So…

APP Review: Restrictions

We got great feedback from our first app review in the inaugural edition of Ascent on the built-in feature of iOS called “Do Not Disturb”—which you can set automatically, or manually, to ensure that you don’t receive any chirps, dings, bells, whistles or buzzes during times that you’re wanting to focus on your family. Another fantastic built-in option on the iPhone is “Restrictions.” We’ve got four boys, and we fall to the fascist side of using technology in the house. (By the way, did you know that Steve Jobs didn’t allow his kids to play on the iPad?) Right now there’s…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday – March 22, 2015

Yesterday was our "Easter Season Worship Service" - which we usually do on Palm Sunday - but this year Palm Sunday is in the midst of spring break, so we bumped it up a week.The title was "Come As You Are," as the encouragement was for us to use our imaginations as we explored just a small part of the context of Jesus's life.Much more to say about the service - and the videos that we showed will be up this week, but the very end of the service was the Handel's Hallelujah Chorus - in which we tried something new,…
