David C. Howard

The “Perspectives” podcast hosted by David Howard reflects the Gospel designed to address the needs and challenges of a contemporary culturally diverse multi-millennial audience. While our ethnicities and languages differ, those contrasts should not be, nor are they sufficient enough to separate us in our fellowship with one another. David during the course of his ministry has met people from around the world. In the course of establishing those very unique relationships it is understandable how

That's Not You

Have you ever done something out of character? Something that catches everyone off guard and throws an otherwise predictable situation in an entirely different direction. At times it may have unplanned consequences, and others may completely change, no matter how innocent, the way we are perceived by others. I know it creates dueling conflicts in what we expect of ourselves, and what others expect of us, but if we live long enough, we (each of us) will find that we routinely disappoint, becoming

Adrift & Aimless

An article by Jim Lucas speaks of Sir. Isaac Newton as one of the most influential scientists of all time. His ideas became the basis for modern physics. He is best known for his work in studying gravity and the motion of planets. Newton’s first law of Motion, suggests, "A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force." This simply means that things cannot start, stop, or change direction all by themselves. It takes some

A Season of Thanks and Giving

On Thursday, November 24, 2022, we will celebrate Thanksgiving once again, as a time specifically reserved for giving thanks for the blessings that we’ve received thereupon. The holiday was born out of a harsh and devastating winter in which many immigrants to the new land, suffered and died from cold, starvation and disease. However, through the help of friends, the harvest, the following year, was plentiful, thus they celebrated by giving thanks. Hhmm! What is that? While it is a holiday

Last year I decided to take a road less traveled from Northern to Southern California. Rather than using the tradition route (Interstate 5), I chose to drive the serene and scenic Pacific coast highway. While it added nearby 2.5 hours to my trip the view of the jagged cliffs, and the waves crashing upon the rocks was breathtaking, and will in its immediacy leave one breathless. However, just a few miles north are an altogether different dynamic, split by four lanes of carefully placed highway. On

Struggle Finding God

Before I begin I just ask a special prayer for a young man named Dillan that I met while away. I was there for work, but God sent me to Denver to meet him. Thus the title of today’s podcast. Several years ago, many, before graduating high school, the family went to a brand-new shopping mall (Glendale Galleria), if you could not find it there it wasn’t to be found. My mom and her sisters, my cousins, and of course, lest I forget, my grandmother, whom we commonly referred to as little gramps, because

Improbable Grace

2022/10/24

In a quote by Anne Lamont, she expresses, I do not at all understand the mystery of grace, only that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us. How would we describe grace? Would it simply be a footnote, an afterthought, or an anecdote, given little or no regard, or would we genuinely be able to comprehend the expanse of God's grace (loving kindness) towards us? In life’s most consequential moments, in shame, hardship, trouble, turmoil, doubt, fear and heartache, His grace is

There is a beautiful song produced by Vineyard music, in which the lyrics simply says. Change my heart Oh God, make it ever true. Change my heart Oh God, may I be like You. You are the potter, I am the clay, Mold me and make me, this is what I pray. Change my heart Oh God, make it ever true. Change my heart Oh God, may I be like You.

There she was pristine, candy red, white convertible top and interior, cassette tape and the most beautiful sounding engine, I had to have it. I prayed, Lord if you let me get it, I will go to church every Sunday, but that was a commitment and promise that did not last, and the thing I believed so beautiful became accursed to me. Every other week, something broke, and when it rained it leaked. My friends and co-workers mockingly referred to it as the water bug. It made its way to Alaska (another

Watermelon Thump

The proverbial question, who picked the watermelon? is not borne out of insatiable satisfaction, but of one’s questionable ability. An antagonistic statement, frequently followed by "you can't pick watermelons anymore". They head off ever confident in their tested and perfected process only to discover after their thumping, shaking, twisting, and flipping, they fared no better than we. We thump it, shake it, turn it on its side, we compare colors, align, and discern if the vine presents a natural

Early Christmas day, I believe 1972, we hurried to unwrap our gifts. It was the year I vividly remember my brother and I receiving something both unique and uncommon. I do not know if we asked for them or if our mother and father found the dog-eared page of the JC Penney catalog we previously looked. To our astonishment it was two authentic ventriloquist (not dummies) dolls, my brothers was Charlie McCarthy and mine was Danny O’Dea (look them up).

Many of us have traveled the expanse of prairie lands, in the mid-West, witnessing as we speed past the endless miles of corn visible both through our windshield and unendingly through our rear-view mirror. Have you ever wondered how did it get there, or inquire about the geometric exactness of each row? Achieving such feats requires immense labor, one so detailed that it determines if each individual stalk will bear an abundance of ears, or fade away fruitless, in the summer's heat. It all begins

Displaced Urgency

How do we measure life and time? How often is what we consider to be important, drastically different than what others may presume about the same thing? I am not referring to mathematical equations that allow us to calculate time and space as we pass through the universe, but the simplicity of things that greet us on our very doorstep. Things so simple, yet not important enough to pay attention. We can assume credit for the accumulation of stuff in our lives, but the presence of meaningful people,

I recall when I was in love for the first time (so I supposed). It was seventh grade, in junior high school. I actually had a fight over her and got suspended. I would write a note asking her, do you like me and offer two carefully drawn boxes in which to respond with an “x” indicating “yes” or “no”. I will not tell the answer is received, but I am sure many of you listening today did the same. I was a shy fellow and moved quite slowly, thus the name I received growing up “Pokey” that my mom

As a young Christian having given my life to Christ, I was, excited and anxious to see what awaited me. Like a sponge I soaked up the words that emanate from the pulpit, while doing my best to apply what I heard to my life. As I raced towards and through salvation, I was urged to give up certain things. Prepared or not as a means to draw closer to God. Some was God led, some out of fear, and others because someone said it was a necessary thing to do. I have always enjoyed music and it has always
