Climbing Mt. Celeste

To Infinity And Beyond: God Is Still With Us

July 1, 2018

I’m sorry this blog about Avengers: Infinity War is so late after the premiere. I needed the therapy. Jokes aside, by now it’s no spoiler to say that the last installment in the MCU was quite dark. After seeing this movie riddled with death and [...]

Born of the Spirit

May 27, 2018

I want to talk about being born of the spirit because I think it answers two important questions people have about Christian life. First, what does it mean to be saved, and second what does it mean to be filled with the spirit, or baptized in the holy [...]

After Evangelism

April 15, 2018

I’ve heard a lot of people say our purpose as Christians is to get everyone saved and evangelism is the primary Christian virtue and calling. But that idea begs the obvious question, what happens after evangelism? In fact I think a lot of the things [...]

Repentance as Transformation

February 11, 2018

None of us like to be told that we are wrong, much less admit to ourselves that we really have made mistakes. The devil is good at using guilt, shame, and fear to hold us back from engaging in repentance with God. Those feelings are powerful, and can lead [...]

Restoration Came Down

December 25, 2017

I don’t go much for the dark, apocalyptic games – the post-disaster worlds where amorality rules, with parables on mankind’s fate to destroy itself. While the look at our fallen nature is certainly apropos, these typically secular games [...]

Organic Spiritual Growth

December 3, 2017

I want to talk about our walk with God, and the “how” in our growth process. When we are trying to become more mature, what is that supposed to look like? The more Christians I meet, the more I am amazed and perplexed at how Christian life [...]

Consider (Post-Thanksgiving Thoughts)

November 30, 2017

A geek should find time to be with nature. Maybe it’s because I was brought up by an avid outdoorsman, but I need my moments out in the trees, in the mountains, or by the shoals of a slow river. Some experiences just aren’t the same through a [...]

A Tale of Salvation

September 10, 2017

(This is a piece I wrote after a sermon I heard on the freedom of Christ; how he is able to break our bondage from even the fiercest sins. We often forget we’ve been made saints through Jesus’ sacrifice; he is able to release us even while we [...]

God’s Weird Plan

September 3, 2017

Did you ever notice how all the stories in the Bible are captivating? It’s full of well-told stories about people doing weird and interesting things in the name of the Lord or even against it. I mean sure, there are some boring entries about Old [...]

Your Stats Increased

August 6, 2017

What would you do to conquer a fear? We have capsule anxieties we talk about overcoming: Vertigo brought on by heights or disquiet toward certain critters or bugs, maybe (moths are pure evil, and you can’t convince me otherwise). We might also shy away [...]

In Defense of Definitive Truth

June 25, 2017

Everything is relative, nothing is definitive, and all religions are true…I hear this over and over again. These days, I hear all the time about spirituality, acceptance, tolerance, and the relative nature of Truth. It’s become normal for me [...]

Non-Attachment and Love: Eastern Philosophy Made Biblical

June 11, 2017

Non-attachment is an idea born out of Eastern religion based on the idea life is suffering and therefore peace/Nirvana/heaven/enlightenment is non-attachment and/or a quiet mind. While the idea itself is flawed (having a skewed view of love and desire), [...]

Secret Service for God

June 4, 2017

Why Did Jesus Have to Die – Why Can’t God Just Forgive?

May 14, 2017

There are a number of recurring questions Christians get asked by their unbelieving or faith-exploring friends. If God exists, why is there evil in the world? Why was the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden? What proof do you have that Jesus existed? [...]

New Growth

March 20, 2017

In the middle of all my gaming and literature nerdery, I somehow developed a desire to foster a green thumb. Chalk it up to all those hours I sunk into Harvest Moon, maybe? At any rate, I’ve become something of a “garden geek” in my [...]

What Stars Mean to Me

December 25, 2016

Since my days as a wee geek, I’ve had a fascination with stars. I loved going out stargazing with my dad in the canyon near our house, away from the scant light pollution of Green River, Wyoming. In college, I took an astronomy course–just for [...]

Should Christians Watch or Play…?

November 3, 2016

Geeks are people who deeply enjoy many things. What we enjoy, we hold onto very closely, as those things are important to us. It can even seem to become part of who we are. If you’re anything like me, you’ve deeply enjoyed movies, games, and TV shows as [...]
