(Theodor Seuss Geisel (“Dr. Seuss”) cartoon editorial about Japanese residents in the United States during WWII) It’s been 65+ years since WWII. In retrospect, I wonder if we take great pride in how Japanese residents of the United States were portrayed and treated. The order was given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. A little over a month […]

In Chapter 1, Dietrich Bonhoeffer laid out the “what” and “why” of Christian community. In the ensuing chapters of Life Together, he becomes very practical about the “how.” Much of his advice remains sound for the Christian household as well as the local body of believers. CHAPTER 2: THE DAY WITH OTHERS (HIGHLIGHTS) MORNING Morning […]

SOME BACKGROUND In 2010 I led my first retreat. I got to choose the songs, handpick the team members, and decide every last detail of worship. After countless hours of practice we had intricate instrumentals, harmonies that were spot-on, and a modern sound. We were phenomenal, and it seemed that everyone in attendance agreed. Or […]

‘Dear heart, the purpose of life is not longevity.’ That’s what a friend said to me recently. The words slowly seeped into my soul. I digested them gradually. I hate them, and I love them (p. 152). Perspective in life doesn’t come easy. Often, it’s forged in pain or failure, or in rare instances, through […]

Early in his ministry, Jesus proclaims the paradigm shift required upon his coming. New wine is for fresh wineskins, not old (Mark 2:22). Made available by Christ’s perfect sacrifice, this new covenant is based on the transformative law of Christ in our hearts, not the Mosaic Law. Soon after, by his divine authority, Jesus declares […]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…Call me Ishmael…It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife…Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you. You hold my right hand. Psalms 73:23. I drink in these words, because they are not words merely to be read but to be taken in – not to become knowledge but to become part of the very fiber of my being, my existence. The depth and breadth and […]

But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:23-24. In the last blog, we covered what it […]

“Churches need to be great places for sufferers” – Tim Keller When we think of what Keller said above, my guess is we often think of those going through hardships in life – maybe financial struggles, health problems, emotional strains. At other times, we might venture to the side of risk and broaden that […]
