There’s probably no God…!!!

Last week in one of my posts, I alluded to the incredibly popular atheist bus campaign currently running in the UK, Scotland, and Wales. Posted on buses around the country, it states, “There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” I grudgingly admit that I admire the campaign! What??? I know, I [...]

Losing sight of the shore!

If the first blog of the year (besides a happy New Year blog) is expected to be profound and life transforming, then I’m under tremendous pressure to ‘perform.’ However, if it’s simply meant to convey a profound truth that I’m learning, then that’s a relatively easy task since I’m learning new things every single day. [...]

Sticks and stones…!!!

Lately I’ve been thinking and talking a lot about ‘caged’ Christianity and 400-pound gorillas in reference to living out loud, and being an effective, adventurous Christian. I had the opportunity to speak at the church of a friend of mine this past Sunday, in Sioux Falls, SD. I know, I know, I must really love [...]

An open letter to Mr. ‘Christian’

So, Mr. ‘Christian’ did you have breakfast yet? How did you sleep last night? I imagine it was a fairly comfortable night, what with your nice fluffy pillow and 400 count egyptian cotton sheets. Heading off to work this morning? Are you catching the metro; braving the traffic so you can park in one of [...]

Pray!!!

I’m writing this from my hotel room in Birmingham, AL. I flew in today for a couple of pivotal meetings that will help determine a number of major decisions that need to be made. I am spending time praying today! I’m persuaded that prayer is what changes the course of human history and orchestrates the [...]

We are not alone

Let’s not forget them, shall we? There have been over 150,000 lives lost in the last month as a result of tragic events that struck Myanmar and China. What makes the tragedy in China even harder to bear is the fact that China has a “One-family-one-child” policy. Entire schools were wiped out with not one [...]

Jars of Clay

If you’re not careful you could miss it. If you don’t pay particular attention it could escape your keen and observant eye. I’m talking about the story behind the story of the widow woman in 2 Kings chapter 4. On the surface it may appear as if her miracle may have been contingent upon her [...]

I’m going dark!!!

I’m going dark! No, I don’t mean my complexion silly, I’m talking about being off the internet for a few days. I’m speaking at a men’s conference in Garner State Park (90 miles outside of San Antonio, TX) and they are apparently still in the dark ages with no access to phones or internet (gulp! [...]

Of Nails and Donkeys

This past Sunday was Easter Sunday! I know, I know, I have a remarkable ability to state the obvious. I say that only to tell you that because it was Resurrection Sunday, we had a special service at The Well that was really well attended. As we scrambled to set up extra chairs as more [...]

Drinking and Driving

What is value to me? I’ve been asking myself that question a lot lately. Ministry often requires precision fine tuning. What the heck does that mean you ask? Well, it’s really easy to look around at all the ’successful’ ministries and determine that they are successful because of a certain thing they do. Logic dictates [...]
