Effort
For five days I have had a tree lying across the front lawn, with no action on my part. I attacked the tree this past Saturday and watched my chainsaw slowly give up more than halfway through the cutting. After 2,356 attempts to restart my chainsaw, I decided to punt on that option. I sat [...]
Live|Bold News
SITE RELAUNCH:
The Live|Bold e-zine is nearing completion. There are still a few finishing touches that need to be added to the site, but overall, the look, layout, and navigation is set. In the coming days, I’ll be adding in some refinements as well. The goal is to build a simple, interactive, online community that points [...]
Upcast
By: Greg Arnold
This guy, we’ll call him Luke, walks into church for the first time at the age of 45. He’s never really been involved in formalized religion, but overall you could paint him as a “good guy”. He spends his time on the weekends helping his family and playing with his kids. He coaches [...]
Bleachers
By: Greg Arnold
The last word I heard was, “be careful”. But that is what parents are supposed to say when you leave their presence. Basically, what they are saying is “I trust that you’ll make a good decision, but I’m concerned that you won’t.” I have used this phrase even for the shortest separations from [...]
Horizon
By: Greg Arnold
The hope of what is just ahead has launched a thousand ships. If there is one thing that is constant through history, across all nations, and inherent in the spirit of every single living person that has ever been… or will ever come… is hope of what is next.
Regardless of the depth of [...]
Location
By: Greg Arnold
Say it with me, “one of the chief factors of success is… location, location, location.” It’s tough to get customers to visit a shopping mall if it’s located in the dessert. You would be hard pressed to build a successful business selling mangos to a community where mangos grow like weeds.
Do you often [...]
Content
By: Greg Arnold
What is the story of your day? What type of content is inserted into your book of Acts each day? I think we sometimes miss the point as we strive to break through life and we end up inserting blank pages into our chapter of Acts.
I am somewhat hung up on the realization [...]
Stand Up
If God sent His Son to save the world from itself… and if He died in order to give life… and if He left creation in our hands to ensure that everything points to Him… then why has this place become rotten with selfishness? I’m sure we could point fingers and blame everyone else, but [...]
Voices
A young boy, no more than 8 years old, was walking through a local department store… dragging his feet, rolling his eyes, and complaining of trying on clothes for the upcoming school year. After wrestling on another pair of jeans, the torture was finally over. The boy’s mother told him to go look through the [...]
Act
What does a christian man look like? Is there some kind of marking, clothing, or style of speach that sends up a flag or family crest that indicates some spiritual connection with Christ? If there is… I’m needing someone to clue me in.
There was a time when I thought that wearing some type of cross [...]
Welcome, and thanks for dragging yourself over to Live|Bold! My name is Greg Arnold and I am pumped to see you here. This interactive online community is here to point every man toward the cross. Whether you have been a follower of Christ for ages, or you are just stumbling into this strange new world of faith, we have something of value to offer you. This online e-zine is a cross between a blog, a social network, a resource center, and a pulpit. My hope is to inspire you to live your faith on the outside and be a real man for God. We need you in the fight.
