Saul ... Jewish or Christian, Spiritual or Religious?

It was Saturday night and I took my laptop to a little café adjacent to the old motel where I was staying. Minding my own business, I was reviewing some needed updates for www.Pastorwoman.com, when a young couple came in and sat across from me. The guy said, 'Hey, are you really working-on Saturday night?' His question sparked an evening of back and forth conversation…

Loving a Terrorist.

Loving a Terrorist.

Regularly, I get Facebook 'Friend' requests from folks with strange names-strange to me, that is-and I am not sure of their intent. I weigh each one carefully, particularly noting if we have 'friends' in common who might have told the person about the Morning Briefings group on the social media site.

Never thought I could be drawn to a…

Shalom aleykhem. We are sorry to bear this news to you, but want you to know all we know about your son, Stephen. It is with deep regret that we want you to know that Stephen has been killed--stoned to death on false charges. We loved him and respected him so much that we had chosen him… Continue

Who is God to me?

Hello.

It was midday on a sunny Saturday in Flagstaff, and I positioned myself near a window to observe the snow piled outside on the old street corner.

God Proximity.

God Proximity. Acts 6.1-10

Good Day, Friends!

Consider this: "Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people."

Remember he was one of the seven chosen to serve the people in order to free up the apostles to teach and seek God-to do what only they could do.1

"They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit."2Opposition…

Growth and Empowerment!

Acts 6:1-7,

Luke has told us several times that 'the number of disciples is growing'--many more Jews are coming to believe the gospel message, and meeting together regularly. We’re talking many thousands by this time.
