In the latest issue of Christianity Today, there’s an article about a church that meets below I-35 in Waco, Texas. They minister to the kind of people who would be more at home under an overpass than at a church building. The article tells some great stories, but my favorite is how the […]

We capped a great workshop this morning with two worship assemblies at Garnett. In each assembly, I sent the people away with a telling of one of my favorite stories, “The Unbreakable Teapot.” Right now I’m too tired to take a nap. When I finally do go to sleep later tonight I […]
I typed up what I thought was an eloquent post. But when I reread it all it said was, “Workshop, workshop, workshop, workshop, workshop, workshop, workshop.” That’s about all I have on my mind right now. The festivities start tonight at Garnett with a pizza feed and worship. From there it […]
My NCAA bracket is already toast. A monkey throwing darts could have picked more winners than I have. I could have used the “who has the prettiest uniforms” criteria and done better.
An American Muslim Responds to the Passion

I think they are both right.
Beginning in April, I’m going to be teaching a class on Wednesday nights using Green and Baker’s Recovering the Scandal of the Cross. I expect it to be a challenging study that may surprise or even offend a few people. How can you study the cross and not be offended at some level?
I’ve been spending some time with the writings of Ken Wilber. I’m especially fascinated by his A Theory of Everything, which is a synthesis of his previous work. His integral vision is compelling and challenging. He is not coming at it from a Christian point of view, but I’m convinced that more Christians […]
Last week I watched The Passion just before we left on our vacation. Just like you, Ive already read a number of reviews and personal reflections about the movie. Im not sure I have much to add to the conversation at this point, but since we talked about the movie at length here […]
