In their own words
Thursday, December 15th, 2005“Why should I care so much for everyone else when no one gives a s!*# about me?” “y do guys have to say the wrong things, @ the wrong time, @ the wrong places…just to say that they like u but make u feel like s!*#?” “When you are sad, ….I will get you drunk [...]
I’m not sure what to think of this
Friday, December 9th, 2005From today’s New York Times, “When Christmas Falls on Sunday, Megachurches Take the Day Off.” “Megachurch leaders say that the decision is in keeping with their innovative and ‘family friendly’ approach and that they are compensating in other ways. Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Ill., always a pacesetter among megachurches, is handing out [...]
Christians and Booze
Monday, December 5th, 2005I just found this question from “Mel” from back in October: In your opinion is an occasional glass of wine or a beer okay assuming you don’t over imbide? So sorry for not responding sooner. Not sure how I missed it, but the timing is good. My November U2 article generated a lengthy Op-Ed in [...]
Question of the week
Monday, December 5th, 2005The following op-ed ran in the December issue of Tri-State Voice in response to my November article, “I’m Going to See U2 (and other Reflections on Missional Living).” In response, my third question of the week: Is it possible that outreaching to unbelievers (in the way described in the U2 article) and serving as our [...]
Lou Engle to appear on Nightline tonight
Wednesday, November 30th, 2005I’m guessing Nightline’s interest has everything to do with the abortion-related Supreme Court cases this week and the pending nomination of pro-life Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. I met Lou in 2001 when The Call, a prayer movement he organized, wanted to come to New York, and I served as one of the [...]
A Spiritual Awakening within the Ivy League?
Tuesday, November 29th, 2005My cousins lived in Hanover, New Hampshire, in the early-90′s, a town known for little else but its Ivy League institution, Dartmouth College. Whenever we’d visit, they’d take us around campus and tell tall tales about the college culture. That’s why the following, from a speech given by the Dartmouth Senior Class president this fall [...]
The Meeting, Day 2
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Youth Explosion’s gazillion-voice choir rocked once again, especially a dance-infused rendition of “Holy.” The Man was even better the second time around! Live music — horns, percussion, tympani, acoustic, bass, and electric guitars, drums, middle eastern melodies, even classic hymns — takes hip hop to another dimension, and it’s amazing what three Alvin Ailey dancers [...]
Last night at The Meeting
Saturday, November 12th, 2005Tony Evans preached Acts 13:36: “For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed.” He emphasized three aspects: 1. “David served God’s purpose” — His was not a plotless life. (Why was Seinfeld so successful? People with plotless lives like [...]
I went to a U2 concert (and other reflections on missional living)
Tuesday, October 18th, 2005I went to see U2 at the Staples Center on November 2, in Los Angeles. Regrettably, it’s my first U2 concert. In 1993, I had an opportunity to see U2 in Madrid with a bunch of college buddies, but that was at a time in my life when I viewed the world through fundamentalist Christian [...]
