This weekend I am excited as I think about the cross. I’m concluding a 6 week series this week by talking about salvation. We’ll look at the purpose of salvation, the passion of salvation and the perils inherent when we think about salvation. Next week we start a series of 3 messages that look at [...]
I desperately wanted to attend the Text & Context conference this week but previously scheduled obligations precluded me from attending. I was visiting the site today watching a few video clips that were prepared beforehand to help promote the conference I viewed this short clip from Dr. John Piper. I highly encourage it [...]
I continue to get a variety of questions from people who ask whether we should like or dislike the Emerging Church movement. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you will know that I don’t believe there is much of an answer to that question. I believe that the EC movement is [...]
In a recent post I pointed you each to the writings of an IMB missionary to Ecuador, Guy Muse. Guy and his wife, Linda have been featured in a Baptist Press article today. BP particularly looks at some exciting church planting efforts that they are leading. I would [...]
Larry Norman is probably to be credited with the advance of contemporary Christian music more than any other figure in recent history.

This week I am excited to talk about Jesus. As much as there is to talk about in our faithwalk with Christ, there is nothing more simple yet more profound than the person of Jesus Christ. Our faith rests squarely on the shoulder’s of His grace. The song this week is one that I’ve just [...]
…but it is probably about what I look like on the court anymore. This poor guy wins the prize for the Worst Dunk Ever….

It is always good to get positive publicity from the local paper, even though it has to come after the good news about the JW’s and the Mormons. Here is the article in today’s edition of the St. Joseph News-Press.
The title of this post is the remarkable quote from J.P Lipscomb as he spoke about his wife, Linda, who died on Valentine’s Day after a bus accident while serving in Asia with the IMB. As I read this article on Baptist Press today I was forced to be still for a moment and think through his [...]
Ok, so I know it’s early. I also know that history is pushing against me. All in all, however, I can’t help but be more than a bit excited when I take a look over at ESPN.com and notice that in their first pre-season power poll they have the Royals ranked 11th in all of Major [...]
Well, not exactly, but this is a very good attempt at wading through the various streams of Christian thought from Fundamentalism all the way to beyond Emerging to full blown liberalism. I’d recommend that you take a look at it if you have studied the Emerging church at all. You can read it
