Share Missional living is, in part, what my sister and brother-in-law are doing. Out of the love they have for Jesus, they are in China picking up the newest member of their family, Cassie LinHua. They began the adoption process roughly 2 years ago. Check out their blog for more. In short, missional living in [...]

Share The hospital Chief of Staff’s voice could be heard clearly over the intercom. His question to his staff, interns, and orderlies was shockingly simple. “He called us together to ask us this? Our time is precious and we have work to do…is he mad?” Despite their disputes, his question still lingered in the air [...]

Share There is a great bakery down the street from our house called “The Great Harvest Bread Company”. We frequently go there for their free samples and their homemade sandwiches. A few month ago, I met Len, a good friend of mine, there for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we decided to sit [...]

Share This, much like life, will be an ongoing story written as it is lived out. It is a very true and personal story. Because of this, I am going to process and write it in small chunks. This is the first of many posts to come about Red… _______________________________________________________________________ Red is the name of [...]

ShareIt happened again. One of those lines grabbed me, but this time, instead of messing me up, it just drove a blessing straight to my heart. From the song, “Here is Love”, the line: Kissed a Guilty World in Love I could not stop picturing God reaching for the world –guilty with all the hate and [...]

ShareConfession time. My wife, Jennifer, and I watch the Biggest Loser. There is something endearing and inspiring about this “reality” show. 18 people share a common obesity problem and the same goal––to loose weight, and lots of it. There is not one person who comes onto the show feeling good about themselves or the choices [...]

ShareWarning, long blog ahead… There is a great bakery down the street from our house called “The Great Harvest Bread Company”. We frequently go there for their free samples and their homemade sandwiches. About a month ago, I met a good friend of mine there for lunch. It was a beautiful day so we decided [...]

Share Soccer. The World loves it; America is learning to love it. I personally never liked it. For me, the few points earned require way too much running. So when my seven-year-old son approached me two years ago saying he wanted to play, I was less than enthusiastic. If soccer played at a professional level [...]

ShareThere are some blogs I hate writing––this is one of them. I hate it because I am personally and terribly convicted by the picture it paints. So here it is… There is a gripping scene from the 90’s Blockbuster, Titanic, that has been used by pastors in churches around the world to illustrate how there [...]

ShareJesus was labeled a glutton and drunk because of the table-time he spent sharing meals with “sinners”: those not accepted by the religious people of his day. He practiced this unacceptable habit of sinner-meal-sharing with regularity. Based on His expressed heart and the example he left us, I have a hard time picturing him turning [...]

ShareWhat’s missing? Here are excerpts from two of our earliest creeds, the Apostles and the Nicene, in order. Read them and see if you can tell what is missing: “…Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. [...]

ShareI have been working in churches since 1991 and have made the rounds through a number of denominations. For the past three years I have been reading and engaging a lot of the emerging and missional movement, feeling a sense of “finally someone is putting words to what I have been feeling in my gut.” [...]
