This week I’ve decided to move from a compartmentalized approach to life to an integrated one. I’ve lived most of my life having a “quiet time” in the morning. This is when I’m in my most spiritual state. After all, it has very little to do with reality. No kids are screaming, yelling, or whining. Nobody intrudes [...]

June Banner
Posted in Uncategorized on May 31, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The banner for June is this year’s INSIGHT students. The picture was taken in the waiting area at Denny’s last weekend. It’s been weird not being around them. I wonder if they miss me…you know, like a cat misses a dog. Anyway, now I can remember them for one more month.
Here are some pictures that [...]
Figuring it Out

Last week during our recognition ceremony for INSIGHT students I said a few words from Colossians 2-3. In chapter 3 Paul begins with exhortations like “set your mind on things above, put to death…, clothe yourselves with…, let the word of Christ dwell in you”, etc. Later I realized that nowhere does Paul tell us [...]
Ode to the Fallen

A week or so ago I heard a missionary named Paul Richardson speak. I thought the poem he shared was so good I asked him for it. Here it is.
Ode to the Fallen
By Paul Richardson
I am humanity. I am unable to think with freedom and clarity, as if my mind
were trudging through sand. My mouth is [...]

Myanmar and China

Have you looked at the pictures from the natural disasters in Myanmar and China? Very hard not to cry. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. When I see faces of such anguish and pain it reminds me that the Chinese and Burmese people are just like everybody else. People. Humans. Only in a very lesser sense are [...]

F is for footprints.
Our footprints always follow us
On days when it’s been snowing.
They always show us where we’ve been.
But never where we’re going.
Busy week. Final week of INSIGHT. I’m leading the last lesson tomorrow. I’m determined this summer to call all our INSIGHT alumni and see what everyone is doing. Hopefully [...]

This is an hour long, but worth it especially for you intellectuals out there.
From Transfer of Knowledge to Transformation of Character
Posted in discipleship, missions on May 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The January ‘08 issue of Missiology is a good one. Back in March I reviewed an article for our staff on Training for Cross-Cultural Mission. This morning I reviewed an article on Short-term Missions. But I want to talk about another article that somebody else reviewed! It is written by D. Michael Crow, entitled “Multiplying [...]
The Kingdom Experiment
Posted in Bible, accountability, discipleship, evangelism on May 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Back in early February, I got some young people together and challenged them with the idea of being involved in what I called “kingdom groups”. I referred to the whole thing as a kingdom experiment. These groups were copies of the original “life transformation groups” initiated by Neil Cole. You meet weekly in groups of [...]
