Thursday, April 26th, 2007Yesterday’s release of Pew Hispanic Center’s study “Changing Faiths: Latinos and the Transformation of American Religion” confirmed what Hispanic community leaders have long known to be true anecdotally. Faith matters. And increasingly, a particular flavor of Christianity is exerting special influence. Renewalist [a/k/a Pentecostal or charismatic] Christianity, which places special emphasis on God’s ongoing, day-to-day [...]
Honor where
Thursday, April 26th, 2007[Click here for Part 1] The third signpost came after I left Lisa at peace with the idea that if Generation Xcel’s holiday appeal failed to produce an effective donor response, we could close our doors in January 2006 in good conscience. So we sent out our appeal, and we got … an abysmal response. [...]
Honor where it’s due, Part 1
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007“Be who you is because if you is who you ain’t you ain’t who you is.” Regular readers of this blog know that 2005 was a very difficult year for me.

Let it slay you utterly
Friday, April 6th, 2007Good Friday reflection: “Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage instrument of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness. [...]
Science and God do mix
Thursday, April 5th, 2007This scientist used to be an atheist. As the director of the Human Genome Project, I have led a consortium of scientists to read out the 3.1 billion letters of the human genome, our own DNA instruction book. As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God’s language, and [...]
You gotta go …
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007… have an Encounter. It’s where head meets heart and uncovers truth that sets men free. Thoughts, testimonies and more to come. For now, pictures: One quickie: God has a sense of humor assigning me, first, to the Intercessory Prayer Team — not exactly a natural gifting — and second, the 3-6 am prayer shift. [...]
Who am I?
Sunday, March 25th, 2007What Christian leader boasted on national television: “I live in a 25-room mansion, I have my own $6 million yacht, I have my own private jet and I have my own helicopter and I have seven luxury automobiles.” Hint, 20/20 repeated the bravado here. Fascinating contrast here.
