« Previous Entries Next Entries »This just in from Tony S.
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005Apparently there are three thousand people groups that do not have any Bible in their language. Yet, as Tony Sheng laments, the Christian ghetto here in America debates how to market the umpteenth English translation, the TNIV, for maximum return on investment.
Bloomberg, get over it
Tuesday, February 8th, 2005Sunday’s New York Times (2/06/08) examined the increasingly routine custom, somehow scandalous in my great city, of churches renting public school auditoriums for weekend services. Among others, the Times profiled our friends at Christ Tabernacle: Christ Tabernacle is just one of at least two dozen churches and other religious groups that have found homes in [...]
Billy Graham wants you
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 [...]
This is Deep
Tuesday, February 1st, 2005Thanks to Fritz Kling, who emailed me the following Nelson Mandela quote from his 1994 Inaugural Address. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be [...]
If My People Will Humble Themselves and Pray
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” I love that verse (II Chronicles 7:14), but it’s quoted so often it almost sounds [...]
Out of the Mouths of Babes
Thursday, January 20th, 2005This is not a joke. When my son showed it to me this evening, I was blown away. You may recall that Judah turned 4 earlier this month. Four. That makes him three weeks older than three. A few months back Judah got obsessed with spelling words. He wanted to know how to spell just [...]
Things We Don’t Talk About
Tuesday, January 18th, 2005Eric’s story is far more common than we care to admit. One in three girls and one in six boys are sexually abused in childhood, and twenty percent of women have had at least one incestuous experience before 18. Given these and other realities, what happens when God answers our prayers and His word, sharper [...]
In Memory of a Hero
Monday, January 17th, 2005Another year, another excuse to play. For many that’s all the third Monday of January represents. A day off. A break from everyday. An opportunity to sleep late, skip school without punishment, run errands, shop, whatever. But this day is much more than that. It reminds us each year of a modern prophet, a proclaimer [...]
Losing Races: a Dream Deferred
Sunday, January 16th, 2005In honor of the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday, I wanted to excerpt Losing Races: A Dream Deferred on my blog. It tells of an experience I had in 2003 at a conference sponsored by one of America’s foremost evangelical ministries. Sadly, I endured many similar experiences in 2004. Please consider reading the piece in [...]
Dobson, Is This a Good Thing?
Thursday, January 13th, 2005[James] Dobson, perhaps more than anyone, will be most credible in leveraging evangelical power at the voting booth. 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 [...]
