The Pope and all our political agendas
One big reason I love the pope is everyone following the Pope in the media and in Christian circles chatters about WHAT the Pope does and “what does this mean?” We all look for the right buzzwords so we can either deride his comments or praise his comments. That’s why I love this comic strip:

The ability to ACT
Lynne Hybels has an excellent piece in The Washington Post about responding to the migrant crisis in Europe. There are several agencies you could donate to as well as action in prayer and action in going. Friends, there are things TO DO. A call to some action is necessary. We need to see the need, the crisis, and be able to respond…

The Daniel Generation has to KNOW THEIR GOD
The American Church is headed for a new Dark Ages … but it doesn’t have to.

What made the religious leaders angry?
I am not very good at goal setting when it comes to Scripture reading schedules. This should be a week when I am on Luke for the second time… or maybe Matthew for the third time… and I’m in Matthew 9 the “second” time around. But, what’s my hurry? As I read through Jesus’ actions and the anger of the…

Good bye “normal” church…

A great moment in reconciliation
In the news, South Carolina voted to remove the Confederate battle flag from the capital grounds. It’s a good move. Those symbols need to be in different places, which is why I’m not for just getting rid of them completely. Let me explain, because the title of the post isn’t referring to South Carolina. It is referring to my own…

Theology becomes therapy
Following up on my re-read for Chan’s book Liturgical Worship has come my re-visit to Harper and Metzger’s book Exploring Ecclesiology. Written by evangelicals, it is an excellent tool for me as I re-think ecclesiology in my own life. In the chapter dealing with “The Church as a Serving Community” they still bring forward the evangelical concern of “preaching the Word.” Their conclusion,…

The immense value of the Church
I am enjoying a bit more time for reading, so this summer I am revisiting some recent gems I’ve read on ecclesiology. I walked through Simon Chan’s Liturgical Worship last week. This week it is Exploring Ecclesiology by Harper and Metzger. Chan is a Pentecostal while Harper and Metzger are evangelical. Their journey helps me frame my own journey. In my own “tribe” we…
