There’s no resurrection without the cross
Saturday, March 26th, 2005This weekend can make a person reflective. Christians the world over commemorate Good Friday and celebrate Resurrection Sunday, but what about the day in between? Although it gets no play in our modern traditions, I’ve often wondered about the first “Holy Saturday.” I can’t imagine the torrent of emotions — fear, anger, grief, self-doubt — [...]
Billy Graham to New York Youth: “Get Real”
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005Answer: 5 million. Question: How many young people under 19 live in metro New York? Answer: A reality check. Question: How are they going to have a credible opportunity to attend the Greater New York Billy Graham Crusade?

A surreal life — breaking news — please pray
Monday, March 21st, 2005Last month was Square One. Today was Day One. Last Thursday, the Greater New York Billy Graham Crusade offered me a three-month retainer to direct the Get Real youth campaign as part of the June crusade. (More on Get Real in a future post.) What an opportunity! In an earlier post I wrote about Billy [...]
"Say it
Friday, March 18th, 2005That mythic phrase directed at disgraced baseball legend “Shoeless” Joe Jackson nearly a century ago resounded loudly once again throughout the halls of Congress yesterday. Contemporary baseball hero, the “Bunyanesque” Mark McGwire, was exposed as a coward as he refused to own up to his past during Congressional hearings on the sordid steroid scandel. As [...]
Something’s Happenin’ Here
Wednesday, March 16th, 2005Vibe Magazine on our friends at Youth Explosion: “Rap meets religion at the Christ Tabernacle in Queens, where they bring the ruckus as much as they repent.” Check out the six page photo spread here. What was that I heard about every knee bowing, and every tongue confessing?
