8/8/19– Triune God

Pastor DaronCrossLife Blog

The Old Testament prophet Isaiah saw a vision of the triune God calling him into service. He watched angels worshipping the triune God, proclaiming to one another in a threefold praise to a three-in-one God, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty” (Isaiah 6:3)!  Then Isaiah heard the voice of the three-in-one God asking, “Whom shall I send? And who will go …

8/7/19– Love Story

Pastor DaronCrossLife Blog

Okay, ladies, there’s something we men need you to know. Ladies, the last thing we men want to hear when browsing with you through the new movie releases on Netflix is, “Here’s a good love story.” Ohh. The pain.

Pastor DaronCrossLife Blog

I sat at the big, round table for my first authentic international dining experience. On the spot. In Asia. Huge plates and bowls were delivered energetically by the server, filled with colorful vegetables, odd-shaped noodles, spicy meats, lots of sticky, white rice … and a fish. The whole thing. Looked like it had just been pulled from the pond. It …
