Friday, October 20th, 2006Some have asked about this blog title. It’s purposefully spelled “away” with words, not “a way,” to reflect the idea that talk, by itself, is cheap and hypocritical. How we live our lives speaks much louder than the words that come from our lips. Paul put it this way: “And I, brethren, when I came [...]
For those wrestling with self-doubt
Friday, October 20th, 2006You are complete (in Jesus), healed (by His stripes), mentally sharp and focused (endowed with His mind), redeemed (by His blood), forgiven (by His mercy), fruitful (by His grace), lovely (beyond compare). You have been crafted by His hands, fashioned for His pleasure, shaped for His purposes, bought by His love, set apart for His [...]
Miracle on 72nd Street
Thursday, October 12th, 2006A plane crashes into a Manhattan high-rise in the middle of the day, and no one except the two passengers onboard is killed or seriously injuried? No one could have imagined it this time yesterday. But by 2:35, that was the silver lining coming out of an otherwise tragic afternoon in the Upper East Side. [...]
“Following his father’s lead”
Friday, September 1st, 2006I love that that’s how New Man magazine opens its September/October feature on my work with Generation Xcel. It continues: “Del Rio is passionate about reaching a youth culture that has largely been disconnected from the church. When he feels overwhelmed by the task at hand, Del Rio is quickly reminded of Romans 5:20, which [...]
Is He your cornerstone/capstone/keystone?
Friday, September 1st, 2006Brian Meza rocked last night. My left coast friend from Living Hope Community Church in San Fernando preached at Abounding Grace from Ephesians 2:19-21: “Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus [...]
Cub – His Hands and Feet
Saturday, August 5th, 2006A video tribute to Caleb Stevens, a little warrior who went home too soon.
God owes us nothing
Saturday, August 5th, 2006“I’ve come to some conclusions, though, over the course of this past year. God owes us nothing. Every single day is a gift. If it’s a good day, then it is a bonus. Even the ten years we had with Caleb – it was a gift. We didn’t have to have any years at all, [...]
Bittersweet
Thursday, July 6th, 2006My parents, Judah and I returned from Puerto Rico this morning. What a bittersweet experience. I’ll reflect more later, but for now more links and a few early observations. Photosets: I’m related to everyone in this picture. Puerto Rico 2006 (76 photos, and growing, from both trips to PR in the last month) Don’t try [...]
“It was like going to bed single and waking up married”
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006So says Eric Metaxas of his conversion experience in this NY Daily News article about Socrates in the City, a lecture series that “provides a place where busy people in suits and sports jackets can discuss … ‘life, God and other small topics.’”
Commencement
Monday, June 19th, 2006I gave my first commencement address on Saturday at Flushing Christian School (8th grade), a graduation of sorts for me as well as the students. Nineteen years ago, I was a self-conscious 8th grader giving the saluditory speach at my own junior high school graduation (self conscious mainly because of the make-up hiding bruising from [...]
