Be Angry
“Be angry and do not sin.” All too often, followers of Jesus Christ put a period at the end of that statement and then proceed to justify what is referred to as “righteous anger”. A period at the end of that statement leaves it to our own understanding just how to take action with that…

Meditations: Part I

Rhythm on the Road
I am on the road, in day 4 of an epic road trip.

Self-Discipline & Self-Control
As we journey along the road of developing healthy rhythms, it is imperative that we exhibit self-discipline and exert self-control. The difference between these two concepts can seem subtle but I believe it is significant. Allow me to provide context here by giving you my working definition of these two terms.
