Stop Talking About..."you know who"

As a Christian, I am very discouraged by all the talk online about the new President of the United States of America. Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all impressed by the character or the policies of this new leader. But what really irks me is the constant hateful rhetoric, often coming from people who say they believe in grace and forgiveness. Am I the only one who sees this as contradictory to faith in Jesus?

Look, I get it. The guy is awful. But complaining and hating on him is just adding to the toxic waste dump of cyber bullying that this man himself is known for. If Christians spent as much time talking about Jesus as they do about the new guy in the oval office, we would be making a much greater difference.

How about getting down to living the way Jesus taught us instead of spending our time complaining and not really doing anything of eternal value. Here is a new strategy that I think could be really effective. Quietly go about the things that really matter and give all the credit to Jesus. Point out what is good and true, more than what is wrong and evil. Love instead of adding to the hate. Like Rob Ford, this too shall pass. But Jesus will always be King.

Why Do Church As Family?

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. - Ephesians 5:15–21 ESV What is the big purpose of your earthly life now that you belong to Jesus Christ? The New Testament reveals that God's explicit will for your life involves serving Christ by pursuing his way of life and joining him in making disciples. All of which brings glory to his name. (Col 2:6-8, 5:17, Matt 28:18-20, Acts 1:6-8) How are you going to do this? Well, that's the million-dollar question! And it is really

Back to Church

It is pretty clear now that the impact of the 2020 global pandemic will be felt for a long time. As restrictions change we are beginning to think about going back to meeting in person but things will still be quite different for some time. We need to ask what is God teaching us through all of this? For months now, God has allowed church buildings and services to be shut down, forcing us to find different ways to gather and minister. I believe God is giving us an opportunity to take a fresh look at the scriptures and rethink church in light of New Testament principles. If all we had was the New Testament, no church tradition or experience, what would our gatherings be like? How would we go about being the church? The writer of Hebrews gives us the reasoning behind the church gathering together regularly: "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good wor

Feeling Disconnected From God?

A friend of mine sent me an excerpt from Francis Chan's book Forgotten God as a reminder of two key factors that blind us to God's presence and activity in our lives: Comfort (a life that is too safe) and Volume (a life that is too noisy). Being on Sabbatical I've been struck by the amount of noise (What Chan calls Volume) is now part of our culture and how hard it is to get away from messages, tweets, updates, constant demands, and distractions. Developing a healthy rhythm of work/rest that includes being still before God and turning off our devices is something we need to be very intentional about! And it often means being willing to accomplish a little less and forgo some comforts in order to live more simply. I agree with Chan that we need some discomfort. In a culture where comfort and convenience are of ultimate value, we often avoid the medicine required to cure the disconnect we feel. Ironically, it is a family member's rebellious and pridef
