  • We are responsible for each other

    Turns out, we ARE “our brother’s keeper.” We are called to vibrant faith, and then to help others fan that flame in their own lives. Lift up the hands that hang down. Strengthen feeble knees. Care for each other. 

  • The humility of a well-kept soul

    God is filled with love and hope for humanity… for us… but that way is found through the cross, not our own power.

  • Soul satisfaction

    Without Christ we deal with souls… and the soul is dissatisfied. Our souls always crave and are never satisfied.

  • The opportunities we fail to grasp

    We too often “consider” the things of Jesus, or pick and choose what we think we may like about Jesus… and leave it at that.

  • The soul is meant for blessing

    We are built, in the Kingdom of God, to lift up… not tear down.

  • My apology for using #NeverTrump

    What is ahead for the American church is change. Our problem, for those over 35-40, is we’re doing a bad job in the transition.

  • The challenge of allegiance

    Our most severe tests come when we don’t recognize the idol right in front of us and everyone bowing seems like the “patriotic” thing to do.

  • Thoughts from Ethiopia

    Seeing the fruit of ministry in a place like this, and praying for the multiplication of ministry beyond these two weeks, I have deep gratitude.

  • Jesus will invade your “safe place”

    If you think you don’t like “the Church” because of Christians… just wait until you actually meet Jesus.

  • Discipleship and Solidarity with the poor

    By contrast, those without the mind of Christ make distinctions between people that the mature disciple would never make.
