My Wife

Laurie, my wife, became a follower Christ by the influence of a Church of the Nazarene congregation. My home church is PC(USA). We both, however, draw most of our Christian roots from being involved with Campus Crusade in College. Recently, I believe that God has been leading me to pursue ordination in the PC(USA), so we thought it wise to begin worshiping with a Presbyterian congregation. While Laurie felt a little outside of her comfort zone at first, she has really enjoyed it.

So yesterday, while I was exploring seminaries, Laurie said to me, "I really like how we say a prayer of confession at Church every week." And, after I thought about it, I agreed. In fact, I felt like it was something that I had truely been missing for the past few years. We, Laurie and I, have a strong tendency to forget our own sinfulness in light of the awsomeness of God. In fact I will sometimes boast of the goodness that the Lord has done in my life while forgetting to give glory to God!

As a people seeking redemption and rescue from Christ, it is important to remember the struggle that we are in.
