Manifest

The word manifest has always intrigued me.

The Holy Spirit used it in the book of Hebrews while reminding us that "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight" (4:13), and Romans implores "That which may be known of God is manifest in them" (1:19).

Manifest: What is clear can be seen readily; what is obvious lies directly in our way, and necessarily arrests our attention; what is evident is seen so clearly as to remove doubt; what is manifest is very distinctly evident.

The Lord has given us a gift... a final frontier for ministry. He has given us an opportunity which we must lay hold of.

The internet affords us the opportunity to make contacts and connections with people we would otherwise never be able to touch. A missionary overseas. An agnostic from Vermont. An old friend from college. A 20-something believer questioning his faith.

Technology is amoral. It has no inherent good or evil of its own. Its use defines its worth.

Instead of avoiding the unknown and living in a world that is protected and safe. I, along with my Father, step out from my comfort zone and hereby boldly re-manifest those connections.

The direction of this site has changed... yet the heartbeat remains the same. It is now solely a reflection of my personal journey with Christ and his church.


Realtime.



I ask only these things....

1. I ask to be held responsible for the things I say here. They are words that God has put on my heart. They define who I am and my walk with him. They do not represent the opinion of my friends, my family, my church, or my community. They are solely my own.

2. I ask that you remember this is my intellectual property. It is no less mine than were it published in a book (and someday, they may be). I hope that you will cite properly and comment appropriately.

3. I ask that you forgive me for posting few (if any) personal details of my life here. Those are reserved for those who know/ knew me. This site is not about me, its about what God is doing in and through me.

4. I ask that you understand and respect my decision not to post an archive here. If you want to keep up with my ramblings you will need to visit often or subscribe to the site. The archives are for my posterity only.

5. God Bless.
