Revival

My church just experienced a two week revival. It was an amazing experience. Our revival was like an explosion in a library during which all the well worn volumes got blown apart, and now I am focused on how to glue it all back together again, but this time in a better, and more Christlike […]

Catching up from a Busy Summer

I have had a crazy and busy, but great summer. I wanted to catch up on a few blog items clogging up the file, so here goes… Miley Cyrus just accomplished a remarkable feat a few days ago, getting both conservatives and liberals alike to bash her obscene and pointless foam finger routine at the […]

Friend of Sinners

If Jesus was considered a friend of sinners, then it would seem the same should be said of his church. But it feels like we mostly struggle to get it right on this point. At least I do. We seem to swing wildly between a harsh and self-righteous veneer toward our generation’s “sinners”, or a […]

Speaking Sin to Seculars Doesn’t Work?

There was a day when America listened when its spiritual conscious shouted “sin.” A day when America had a spiritual conscience. That day is gone. Welcome to the unadulteratedly secular America. Secular and proudly so. Today, America bristles when anyone dares to speak to its once spiritually attuned conscience, like a child being asked to […]

We Need a Cure for Religion

In the wake of last week’s tragedy in Boston at the finish line of the Marathon, here are a few disjointed ramblings that I made note of and thought someone out there might care to comment on, so have at it. Do we need a cure for religion? Maybe so. I have been hearing that […]

Bondage

Do you know anyone in bondage? You probably would immediately say a quick no. But think about it for a minute. Not long ago I visited a guy in the hospital who had just had a massive heart attack. His arteries were in such bad shape they did not know if he could survive open […]

Be Careful What You Wish For …

Louie Giglio, pastor of Passion City Church in Atlanta, just “removed himself” from his spot on the program for President Obama’s upcoming inauguration ceremonies. Giglio was slated to deliver the benediction at the event in DC later this month. Giglio’s self-removal simply saved the President’s inauguration team from doing the deed themselves.  (Most suspect they […]

Reformation Day, 2012

Today, October 31, 2012, is the 495th Anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of his famous 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg. The Theses are points of protest, questions of legitimacy or simple observations on the faith which Luther was making against the Roman Catholic Church in general, and Pope Leo […]

America, Secular and Lovin’ It?

Pew Research has issued some new polling data that drew a few raised eyebrows this week.  Apparently for the first time (pretty much ever) the United States now is no longer a majority Protestant Nation.   That’s right, in 2007 about 53% of Americans identified themselves as “Protestant” which was at the time a stunningly […]

The Cure for Bullying

October is National Anti-Bullying Month.  Of course, it is also National “Adopt a Dog” Month, “Auto Battery Safety” Month, Dental Hygiene Month, Dinosaur Month, Dessert Month, Disability Awareness Month, Popcorn Poppin Month, Youth Against Tobacco Month, Fire Prevention Month, and my personal favorite: National Clergy Appreciation Month.   This actually only scratches the surface.  For […]
