Apprentice 2 Jesus

  • 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… Read more

  • Good bye “normal” church…

    And, quite frankly, good riddance. I can hope, anyway. This post on the future of evangelicals is a good read. It’s refreshing. We are stumbling into new realities. These are things the greater evangelical church should have paid attention to decades ago, but the majority are only now being dragged kicking and screaming into the… Read more

  • The tragedies we don’t bemoan

    Two separate mass killings over the weekend… at least. No big details. We probably won’t have any “need” for follow up, but just a quick glance down my Yahoo news feed gave headlines of a shooting in Houston leaving 8 dead and a shooting in Vermont that left 4 dead.

    Forget Cecil the lion on that day. There will be another Lion that will roar. It will be a day when Planned Parenthood can’t duck under ANY kind of media cover. Read more

  • The gods of our culture and the mark of the beast

    I was listening to a teaching on eschatology given at a church camp by one of my favorite all-time teachers. Gordon Anderson has been president of North Central University for many years, but I was privileged to have him as a teacher when I was a student in my undergrad program before his appointment as… Read more

  • Imagine this…

    Imagine these signs outside a Planned Parenthood clinic and how the media would react. Instead, these signs are outside the office of a Bloomington, MN dentist who probably poached a lion in Africa months ago. Today, Planned Parenthood gives thanks for the Minnesota dentist taking the spotlight further off of their own atrocities. Read more

  • The numbness of our culture

    This is not a simple, run of the mill, 1980s pro-life argument I am trying to make. Read more

  • Hitch your wagon to a political movement…

    Dear friends, we have lost our way. To the right… to the left… we have lost our way. Read more
