Silence
I finished an overnight silent retreat at Pacem in Terris. The best way to accomplish this is two nights and three days. Time was extremely limited so I was happy to get away for one night. Pacem is close to my home and offers complete silence in a hermitage. I am so thankful for the opportunity to get away, completely…

Crazy Things
Sometimes there are so many crazy things going around, I can’t help but pile them up and make a comment or two. Sometimes no comment is needed. “Don’t Hug Me!” We now have the basic crime of too much hugging. Now, schools are banning the hug: A measure of how rapidly the ritual is spreading is that some students complain…

Longing for Something More
On this Memorial Day, we think of the price paid for our freedom. I am so thankful for those serving right now in Iraq and Afghanistan. As Colin Powell said this weekend, “They are our next ‘greatest generation.’” Chuck Colson offers a great column on Memorial Day and the longing we feel in our hearts for what we can’t really…

File This Under, "Oh, I Did Not Know That!"
All those years I’ve heard the quote: “Preach the gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” All those years I’ve heard it attributed to Francis of Assisi. Well, turns out that may not be so!

Why the Cross
Over the Lenten Season I preached extensively on the place of the cross in the life of the believer. One reason I went that direction is I see many evangelicals/Pentecostals/Charismatics ignoring the power of the cross and saying, “Jesus isn’t on the cross.” Of course he’s not on the cross. He’s on the throne. But that doesn’t negate the need…
