Where’s Waldo?

Posted on January 29, 2013September 7, 2014 by Michael Rose
One of the richest things for me the past while has been learning to see God in all things. I have to admit some days I am blind as a bat and finding God in some things is like a brutal "Where's Waldo" puzzle. If you have ever seen a Where's Waldo you know these…

Falling Fearlessly into Love

Posted on November 17, 2012June 19, 2019 by Michael Rose
For a great many of the folks that I have had the privilege to work with, the smudge on the lens of Christian surrender has made genuine surrender very difficult. For many, when we speak about surrender we immediately think in the language of the world system which is often capitulation. Capitulation is the kind of…

The Heart of Good Gifts

Posted on November 8, 2012June 11, 2013 by Michael Rose
One of the things I really enjoy is getting together with other folks who are on the journey.   I am astounded at how the central themes are all the same but the expression of those themes through individual lives is marvelously varied and unique.  It reminds me that the God we serve is infinitely…

Blind Faith or Faith Filled Living?

Posted on October 25, 2012July 22, 2015 by Michael Rose
“Oh no… I don’t believe in works at all” he said. “I just believe that the sin we do is on one side, and the good things we do are on the other, and we hope the good outweighs or at least reduces the bad side!” “ Hmm Sounds like works to me” as I…

The Present Presence of God

Posted on August 4, 2012May 9, 2013 by Michael Rose
Jesus said He would never leave us or forsake us and this is such a powerful promise and one central to the incarnational nature of the Christian faith.  We are exhorted and encouraged with the promise of Christ in us, the hope of glory and yet so many of us live like we are all alone.  How many…

The Gift of God Now

Posted on April 19, 2012August 17, 2015 by Michael Rose
Sitting in a local Starbucks writing an article about listening and how multi-tasking and the constant drone of noise bombards our auditory sensibilities.  I am aware of the Muzak on the speakers over head, the banter among employees and the dings, bing’s and chimes of my iPhone beside me. Oops – what’s that?  I have…

Challenges Ripe with Opportunity – Leadership

Posted on February 4, 2012April 28, 2017 by Michael Rose
Whether we realize it or not, all of us are leading in a multiplicity of ways all the time and while we may lead well verbally, our actions and posture may be saying something else!  Leading well is as much an art form as it’s models and strategies.   One such example of this is how…

Personal Experience Matters in the Long Run

Posted on April 4, 2011July 10, 2018 by Michael Rose
A modern parable: Filbert was a dog who lived in a small prairie town.   He was a good and happy dog who had a good family that treated him very well.  One day he was rolling in the grass when out of the corner of his eye he saw the biggest rabbit he had ever…

We Awaken in Christ’s Body

Posted on December 13, 2010October 28, 2016 by Michael Rose
We awaken in Christ’s body as Christ awakens our bodies, and my poor hand is Christ, He enters my foot, and is infinitely me. I move my hand, and wonderfully my hand becomes Christ, becomes all of Him (for God is indivisibly whole, seamless in His Godhood). I move my foot, and at once He…
