Don’t Despise Smallness
Posted on November 23, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.We live in a day when big is better. Sprawling box stores, mega-churches, huge restaurant meal portions all tout bigness. Small homes are no longer built in the area I live in. We can fall into the trap of bigness when it comes to prayer. A handful of people show up for the scheduled […]

Words of Thanks
Posted on November 20, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.Ten lepers approached Jesus as He entered a village. Nine of the lepers were Jews; one a Samaritan. Samaritans and Jews did not associate. But the state of their defilement bound them together. Together sinners. Together outcasts. Together helpless. From a distance mandated by their uncleanness, they cried out to Jesus for mercy. Jesus […]

Prayer Training Retreat
Posted on November 12, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.I received an invitation to speak at a church’s weekend retreat, Friday through Sunday, five sessions.

Posted on November 2, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.“Prayer doesn’t work.” That’s not what those involved really thought, but that’s pretty much what it amounted to. I have a ministry that trains Christ’s disciples in evangelistic prayer. It’s called Community Houses of Prayer, CHOP for short. I’ve noticed something odd but consistent among those involved in this prayer outreach ministry. The heart […]

Riding the Storm
Posted on October 29, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.As I write this, hurricane Sandy is morphing into a powerful nor’easter about to land a potentially devastating right hook to the east coast of the United States. Ordinarily, the hurricane would move out into the Atlantic, but a strong high pressure ridge of air off Greenland is blocking it, turning it eastward. The […]

The Sign of the Sabbath (part 2 of 2)
Posted on October 23, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.As a moral obligation, the command endures to remember the Sabbath and rest on it. For Christians, the day of Sabbath observance is Sunday. Not only are we to try to avoid secular vocation on that day, we are to join with the people of God assembled for worship. We see that illustrated in the […]

The Sign of the Sabbath (part 1 of 2)
Posted on October 20, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.I saw a graphic recently. It was a bar graph of sorts addressing various indicators of spirituality. It charted topics ranging from belief in the deity of Christ to belief in the wrath of God for personal sins. Being compared on this graph were the Christian beliefs and practices of men and women. In […]
