Think Like Jesus

what it means to be Christian

  • The Problem with People

    I like people… at a distance and up close. From a distance I could watch people all day (and as creepy as it sounds, I do). One of my favorite things to do is to sit in a busy public place and “people watch”. I try to imagine their life. Where are they going? What Read more

  • A Very, Very, Very Fine House

    … but not for the reasons you might think. It is true that we are in the midst of trying to sell our house. Many of you are even praying with us for that sale. I hardly know where to begin to talk about the lessons that God is teaching me as we wait on Read more

  • Modern Day Prophets

    What is a prophet? Webster defines a prophet as one… 1: one who utters divinely inspired revelations: as a. often capitalized : the writer of one of the prophetic books of the Bible b. capitalized : one regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God’s will. A discussion of this Read more

  • The Maze of Grace

    Have you ever noticed that some of the most difficult places to get to are some of the most rewarding? I find this especially true when I am trying to escape technological tethers (cell phones, email and the like). I remember a hike we used to take at a camp where I  worked for several Read more

  • Jesus In the Chaos

    I just spent a weekend with 30 middle school students. Yes… on purpose. This image pictures so beautifully the wonder and amazement that I continue to have as I work with this age group. They teach me more than I could ever hope to teach them. This weekend I expressed that the thing that scares Read more

  • You Were Doing It to Me

    37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? 39 When did we ever see you sick or in prison, and visit you?’ 40 Read more

  • Running In Circles

    Most things cycle. Watch fashion fads. Things hip & cool today are really only borrowed things from another era. Trends are trendy… and really it doesn’t make much sense to keep re-inventing the wheel. So new is never as new as we want to believe. It’s just new to us. So even our lives have Read more

  • 3 Minutes

    So here’s where this is going. Will you invest… 3 minutes to join more than 300 people to pray for 1 request on days that have a 3 in them (3rd, 13th, 23rd, 30th, 31st). Send an email to rob@processchurch.org to attach. Read more

  • The Clarity In the Fog

    Yesterday evening we had one of the thickest fogs that I can ever remember in quite some time. You could hardly see a car-length in front of you. As I was cautiously traveling from church to home I noticed several things about that experience that reminded me of the journey that God has us on Read more

  • Scripture As Source – Core Value #7

    We all have philosophical & practical places to which we return; in part to assure ourselves that in fact we are still on course. And even if the declared origin is my own thinking, I return to my thoughts to check myself. It is equally true that most of us have a detectable set of Read more

  • Creative Change – Core Value #6

    Most of us have an adverse reaction to change. After all, we work hard to create environments that are appealing to us. Why would we want to change them? Because we naturally resist change I want to build this philosophy of creative change into the value system of Process Church. The reasons to have creative Read more

  • Spiritual Progress – Core Value #5

    It was Socrates who said, “the life unexamined is not worth living.” Could he possibly have known how right he was? People want purpose. Why am I here? Rick Warren’s blockbuster book The Purpose Driven Life has been on the New York Times Best Seller List every week since 2002. As much as we value Read more
