Tuesday, February 1st, 2005A pretty, 20-something aspiring actress was shot and killed by a thuggish posse of muggers last week in our neighborhood. Her fiance cradled her in his lap as she breathed her last breath. This murder was indeed a tragic crime. People should be outraged. But from the resulting press coverage one would think it is [...]
Hard to imagine, but for years Joel refused to preach.
Tuesday, February 1st, 2005… That’s NBC’s Today Show, talking about Joel Osteen. Check out the report here. Diana and I met Joel and his wife at a California hotel last summer.

Things We
Monday, January 31st, 2005If you didn’t see it on Saturday, catch a repeat of “Michael Jackson’s Secret Childhood” on VH1. Yes, the show feels tabloid-ish and sensational.

That’s partly because, politics aside, he’s unrivaled as an evangelical leader. “Given Billy Graham’s advanced age,” says Richard Land, president of the 16 million-strong Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, “it’s James Dobson who’s stepped [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
