Monday, November 26th, 2007I live in the fastest growing Arabic community in New York City. Like many Brooklyn neighborhoods, Bay Ridge has been home to successive waves of immigrants, including Scandinavian, Italian, Greek, Puerto Rican, Asian and many others. Since first moving here in 1990, I have watched Fifth Avenue transform from a typical commercial Brooklyn corridor dotted [...]
Would you knowingly support slavery?
Thursday, November 15th, 2007Perhaps you don’t remember that Snickers bar I sneaked last week. But maybe you can recall the chocolate milk you served your kid with breakfast. Or the triple chocolate chunk ice cream indulgence from this weekend. Or the ungodly pounds of chocolate distributed to emancipated American children two weeks ago on Halloween. We were inadvertently [...]

Consider the Lilies
Monday, November 12th, 2007“Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow …” – Matthew 6:28 San Diego ended profoundly for me with a one-day excursion south of the border into Tijuana to visit Rachel and the children at Lily of the Valley Orphanage.

Wednesday Weekly Webcast
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007Rich Mullins 4 weeks before he passed. All the popular evangelical preachers … they’re not bad. They’re just wrong. Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no [...]

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007The Carrasco Clan are East Siders this week, visiting Kafi’s family in Brooklyn.

My heart is heavy
Friday, May 11th, 2007I drove to Baltimore this morning before visiting Virginia’s Nissan Pavilion for tomorrow’s Battle Cry event, and asked Matt Stevens to take me to the so-called Blue Light Districts, high crime areas so named because of the ubiquitous presence of police cameras marked by flickering blue lights. (Take a virtual tour here.) For three-plus hours [...]
Orphans AND Widows
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007Being a lifelong “youth guy,” I write alot about God’s heart for kids, especially the orphans, fatherless, and otherwise “at-risk” among us. This New Yorker article, quoted in today’s Christianity Today blog, reminded me that God also cares for widows and the elderly. The article paints a bleak picture about our country’s capacity to care [...]
