Apprentice 2 Jesus

Blogging

  • Spiritual Fathers

    The guys known as the blogging behemoth Near Emmaus (talk about corporate takeovers…) are doing a great giveaway. (Which I will probably be disqualified from for my opening remark.) 😉 The giveaway is the forthcoming Eugene Peterson memoir, which I totally want. I can’t say “deserve.” I just want the thing. They ask that those… Read more

  • Biblioblogs

    I honestly have no idea what qualifies some blog to be a “biblioblog”. However, I honestly don’t think this list can be called “complete.” Read more

  • Daring to Hope: Where Would You Give?

    I am working through the passage in Isa. 2:1-5 for Sunday. I don’t expect much in the way of response on Thanksgiving weekend, but I have this thought: If we would dare, as believers, to really step up and HOPE, how would we do it?

In that silence will also be a self-imposed “blog” silence for the entire month. Thank you for your prayers. So many have expressed… Read more

  • Leaks and Timing

    The New York Times has returned to the glory days of journalism. They have to be as excited as the heady days of Watergate and the Pentagon Papers. They’re actually back to releasing truly bad news and casting bad lights on bad situations. They’ve released portions of thousands of pages of classified documents leaked to… Read more

  • Coming Aside

    I will be taking a “mini-sabbatical” in August. It’s the first time I have tried this. I pastor a small church and we simply can’t afford to go longer with the time frame, but I am grateful for the opportunity to come aside. This sabbatical is crucial. I’ve been pastor at this church for 12… Read more

    Is this thing on? Did I lose contact with the outside world? Read more
