Breaking the Ice with Your New Neighbor
December 29, 2017
Confession: An annual pleasure: Watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” at Christmas time. This year, we didn’t get to watch the film until after Christmas. But it was still a joy. It goes beyond the fact that Jimmy Stewart was my favorite actor from the growing-up-years of my life. And it goes beyond the encouraging message(s) of the film: … More Breaking the Ice with Your New Neighbor

Friday is for Heart Songs More evidence of a deep sickness at the core of American society in these shootings in Colorado. Yet another indiscriminate shooting by a young man, heavily armed and taking lives without compunction or remorse. Unfortunately, within days people on the right and left of…
Abortion in the Crosshairs
December 27, 2017
Below is a brilliant, truly brilliant, video of a young woman giving a presentation at Google, (Yes, you read that right!) on abortion. An excellent example of honest, civil discourse not limited to sound-bite media. We have just celebrated the birth of Christ to a young teenage Mary. Today, a girl in similar circumstances would … More Abortion in the Crosshairs
Matthew’s Radical Gospel
December 20, 2017
Take your stained glasses off when you read the gospel of Matthew this year. Matthew is not just writing a history record. His gospel is history, absolutely, but he has a goal. He wants you, he wants us, he wants the world to bow in surrender to the King of Kings. He wants us to … More Matthew’s Radical Gospel

“The churches of America are weak, spiritually anemic, prayerless, biblically illiterate, apathetic about personal holiness and unengaged with their neighbors at any meaningful level. Are there exceptions? Of course. But the stark reality is that we are almost irrelevant in effecting change of our culture toward godliness despite our numbers.

A Giant Has Left the Land
December 14, 2017
R. C. Sproul is gone. A more false word could hardly be spoken of the man. R.C. lives today, more alive than ever in his 78 years here and still vibrantly powerful through his books, recordings, messages, and the indelible imprint he made on all who knew him. He was a mountain, an Everest, a … More A Giant Has Left the Land
America Was Never a Christian Nation — not in any biblical sense anyway
December 13, 2017
I’ve spent the last two days in meetings with a group of Evangelical Free Church leaders working hard at trying to help one another become a denomination that loves and ministers in such away that ALL PEOPLES are welcomed equally in all areas of ministry and church life. Turns out, it is much harder than … More America Was Never a Christian Nation — not in any biblical sense anyway
When Old Men’s Dreams Come True
December 8, 2017
Remember Zacharias? He who would sire a son in his old age with his past child-bearing-years wife. He who, with his wife, Elizabeth, had prayed for a son (Luke 1:13) but had given up on ever hearing an answer. But the year came when the aged and sonless priest from the division of Abijah, in … More When Old Men’s Dreams Come True
