Thursday, May 14, 2009. The Bride (part 1). The bride of Christ, the church, and all that is right and wrong about her, is constantly on my heart. (my bride pictured here - ). I've been thinking about posting my thoughts on this topic for a long time, but it is overwhelming to even consider writing about it, because the conversation is just so huge. Today's thought is one that is more disturbing to me than most. It really breaks my heart. Humans sin and mess up, and the church is made up of humans....

Tuesday, October 7, 2008. Today I was really challenged. Is another passage where Paul describes the trials and suffering involved with his ministry. I felt my spirit making a statement and asking a question:. 160;"Many ministries today involve very comfortable and easy paths to ministry.". Would ministries today bear more fruit if they followed Paul's model and were more willing to be uncomfortable? Read about it here: www.persecution.com). It all depends on what you compare these ministries to. ...

blunt: God is crazy
http://jl-blunt.blogspot.com/2010/04/god-is-crazy.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. I just wrote the following as an email to someone and decided I might as well post it here since I never. Update my blog anymore. God is just crazy. I mean, he loves me and you, so thats something. Plus, its just crazy the way he works things out so perfectly. Like the fact that I (a person who loves Business as Missions and reads about church leadership, movements, etc in my free time) am now working on connecting DaySpring (a Missional Business) and churches (churches!

Thursday, February 19, 2009. Top 5 Common Christian Misconceptions I See. 5) Christians should always avoid being offensive. Jesus was offensive at times. I'm sure the rich man was offended when Jesus told him to sell off all of his possessions. I bet the pharisees were often offended by Christ's life and the truths that He spoke that challenged their way of life. This concept is why my blog is named "blunt". Speaking the truth in love. 4) What I do. 160; God cares about the heart. So many Christians s...

Monday, June 15, 2009. The Bride (part 2). A beautiful bride would be so attractive to everyone that Christ's name would be famous and praised around this world. Jesus attracted people with messed up lives to Him. The Church doesn't. I don't. I believe the actions of the "Church" have given Christ's name the reputation of being judgemental, legalistic, prideful, and cliquish. It is pointless for me to complain about history and not try to change the future. It is going to take a lot of time and generatio...

Monday, March 15, 2010. So, I've heard "Wait" for a long time. This weekend I had a pretty cool encounter with God where he passed the baton to me and said "Run". I'm glad I waited, because I'm not the best "runner" and would have fallen on my face and lost. I'm already tripping up, but through God's grace I'm still standing, and running. And the difference is I'm not running to win, I'm running so he'll win. And he will win. Posted by Jesse Lane. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe to blunt by Email.

Monday, April 20, 2009. Focus: Him and her. Lately, it seems the Lord is teaching me about. Primarily through my best tutor, the Holy Spirit, but also from several other sources. When I say "focus", I don't mean priority. I'm learning a new definition for focus as I've found myself simplifying my life lately. I am beginning to understand that a. Approach to life is the only way I can live the life God has called me to. This involves a. On the few things that are worth giving your life to. . I think focu...

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. This is a guest post. enjoy! 8220;For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.". I have seen the oppression of the demonic forces in this world and I have watched as they attack the innocent because they are weakest. The children of God are the minority here. They are not allowed to learn about the Bible from me and it is unlikely to find someone who will tell them. Don’t hide your light from the nations. Especially ours. United States of America.
