About me: I’m an organizing co-pastor of The Upper Room, a barista at The 61C Cafe, a member of the House of St. Michael the Archangel, a graduate of (and now student again at) Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. More importantly I’m a husband who loves his wife, a man who enjoys good coffee and good beer, a runner, and someone who loves to read and write.
About this blog: This is a blog about the spiritual life. It’s about prayer, study, mission, obedience. It’s about seeking the Kingdom of God. It’s about sanctification. Poiesis is the Greek word which means “doing” or “making” or “action.” So, poiesis theou is the action of God, like in Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work [poiesis] of his hands.” We are God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10), being made by the Lord into something new, beautiful, and holy. My prayer is that God will use whatever you read here in his work of remaking and sanctifying us, “for I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).
