Tuesday, February 8th, 2005Friends and youth ministry colleagues: Get real for a second. Your youth are dying. Your neighborhood youth are dying even faster. Your church wants you to reach them. Your God called you to reach them. But you need help. So do I. This June a historic opportunity to reach your kids and mine, our city [...]
Not bad for an 86 year-old man
Friday, February 4th, 2005Presumably in light of Time magazine’s recent list, Christianity Today is conducting an online poll of “the most influential evangelical.” No surprises here: Chuck Colson: 3% James Dobson: 17% Billy Graham: 53% Ted Haggard: 0% Bill Hybels: 1% Bishop T.D. Jakes: 6% Tim LaHaye: 2% Richard Land: 0% J.I. Packer: 3% Rick Warren: 10% John [...]
This is Old News, But I Blame Kruse
Monday, January 10th, 2005Had I had a blog in October, I would have written then about the little known man most singularly responsible for reversing the Curse of the Bambino and lifting the Red Sox out of their 86-year misery: Matthew Kruse. With the Sox down 0-3 in the ALCS to the Yankees, Matt preached “The Red Sox [...]
The Boden Center
Monday, January 10th, 2005The Bronx got a little touch of heaven his weekend. The Boden Center for Performing Arts officially launched in Castle Hill with a concert Friday evening (1/7) featuring jazzy reinterpretations of age-old standards, musical theater by a youth drama troupe called BAMSS (By Any Means Save Some), and modern dance performed by members of the [...]
Even the NY Times Gets It
Monday, January 3rd, 2005Some of evangelical Christianity’s most respected leaders still don’t believe Hip Hop can be a viable expression of worship or a legitimate means of outreach. They are not paying attention. The effectiveness of anointed Hip Hop to change lives has been duly noted by, among others, the New York Times (yes, that Times), which visited [...]
New Year’s Resolution
Sunday, January 2nd, 2005Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved. (Matthew 9:17) This year I resolve to find friends and allies in unexpected places. This is [...]
Jesus Walks with Me
Friday, December 31st, 2004I’ve been wrestling with the unexplainable lately. Throughout this week, the tsunami. Yesterday, Adam Jeremiah. For nearly two years, ministry difficulties, personal struggles, even health challenges. In countless bizarre, almost surreal ways, it feels (deep down, where life hurts) like a flame upon my flesh has been turned seven time hotter. Against that backdrop, I [...]
Evangelism 101, Hip Hop Style
Friday, December 31st, 2004I helped a friend move yesterday, along with a crew of seven teenage boys. They’re all great kids from God-fearing, evangelical families. They’re all actively involved in a local church youth group, and most, if not all, attended Christian elementary and middle schools. One of the boys’ parents are pastors of a leading church in [...]
