who have never bowed to Baal

Met a pastor yesterday from Hollywood Presbyterian (http://www.fpch.org/)

It is great being connected with people in other ministries/churches, here in Hollywood. Sometimes you can almost feel like in this city - that we are the only ones following Christ (which I know is not true at all - but some days it can feel like it). […]

fanaticism

Posted by greglarson in theology at 9:14 am | Permanent Link

I found on-line a short excerpt from Tim Keller’s forthcoming book. This excerpt is from chapter 4. I found it extremely insightful about many Christians today, and how non-believers respond to them. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Fanaticism
Perhaps the biggest faith-deterrent for the average person today is not so much violence and […]

…never given a thought to Christ

I came across this quote today. God forbid for my family and I, or for you — to fall into this trap…

“There have been some who have become so occupied in spreading Christianity that they’ve never given a thought to Christ himself.”
- C.S. Lewis
It says in Hebrews 12:1-2 […]

leaning on the everlasting arms

What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms.
Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms.
What have I to dread, what have I to fear Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with […]

Victor - a great man

So Michelle, the kids, and I met the coolest guy today — Victor.

Michelle was looking for some fabric to cover our little kitchen pantry area, and we stumbled upon this little shop called Thousand Fabrics in an L.A. neighborhood called Atwater Village, close to where we live.
Victor, who came from Mexico some 35 years ago […]

gotta love this city

Posted by greglarson in Los Angeles, family at 10:34 pm | Permanent Link

Even though I was driving somewhere at 7:30p tonight — (on a side-street no less), was stuck in traffic for close to 20 minutes to go about 2 miles ??!!
However, that being said — we love L.A. !! Where we are living now, is only 2 blocks from this big pool (that is free!), and […]

great quote for the day

Posted by greglarson in theology at 8:27 am | Permanent Link

Sorry, been without wireless / internet for a while because of moving into a new place, but came across this quote yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I have been impressed by Rick Warren’s humility over the years, but also his passion for Christ and expanding His kingdom in this world. This quote really is […]

I highly recommend it. This month’s book is Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton - […]

some wild sights in LA

Posted by greglarson in Los Angeles at 10:52 pm | Permanent Link

We were driving the kids to school today and saw some interesting sights.
First we drove past the gas station and saw the gas prices…

Then we drove past the ’self-realization fellowship’…

Then finally by the ‘Scientology complex’
