Well, you can check out my fb for some pictures. I was going to upload some videos but my battery died. Not sure why. It should have been fully charged. It’s been a great trip so far for all the Beeson Pastors and International Leaders. We’ve been getting to know…

This morning we visited the Yanghwajin Foreign Foreign Missionary Cemetery that sits almost on the edge of the Han River, the largest river in Korea, that runs through Seoul. It was a major trade route and where Christian missionaries first entered the country in the nineteenth century. At the beginning…

We visited the Foreign Missionary Cemetery this morning. That was an amazing experience which I will write more about some time later. Lunch was traditional Korean, beef cooked on the table with various veggies on the side with the ever-present Kimchi. Well, we're leaving. So I will be in touch…

The iPad has made its long-awaited appearance at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center and all the oohs and ahhs have subsided and tech pundits are chiming in on the cool things it does and some of the cool things it doesn't do. The anticipation for this was pretty big, Doonesbury…

Well, I am an Apple fan and I plan to check out the big announcements tomorrow about the new Tablet. I probably won't be buying one anytime soon, though (I think the price point is going to end up being a little high for me). But I found this…

Talk of the New Year has already grown old and we are only sixteen days into the new year. A prayer that John Wesley adapted and used in Watch Night services (all night prayer meetings on Dec. 31/Jan. 1) is a helpful tool in reassessing our values at the beginning…

Many people make it a habit of reading through the Bible in a year. This is a great habit. If you have not read the Bible, you need to add this to your list of New Year's Resolutions. I have found two new places on the internet that are pretty…

My message Road of Intellect: Christmas Road Trip, part 3 was about affirming people who have been on an intellectual journey, asking questions about faith. God does not ask that you turn off your brain when you walk into the doors of the sanctuary. To the contrary, as the architect…
Hello,
I’m Chris
Welcome to Flourishing Life, a space designed to help you pursue the abundant life God offers everyone. Jesus said in John 10:10, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (ESV). I’m convinced God created the world for flourishing human life. However, we’ve all contributed to the brokenness in the world and our own lives. Many don’t even realize a better way is possible. My hope for this blog is that you’ll discover the life God has always intended for you, the ones you love, and the world.
