Kingdom Return On Investment

A new friend asked me about sponsoring RICH’S RIDE. His request provided a great opportunity to re-examine our “value proposition,” a fancy way of defining what we offer in exchange for the dollars we receive. Our sponsors are incredibly generous, and the value proposition is how we make sure we’re accountable, responsible stewards. The goal, […]

Can Our Rights Be Wrong?

“I have the right to ______.” You fill in the blank—the possibilities are nearly endless. We’re all about defending and demanding our rights. A few days ago I read an article about human trafficking in which the author cited compelling data linking prostitution, pornography, and the meteoric increase in internet trafficking of minors. In a […]

One Pesky Word Changes A Lot

I used to think preachers were bragging a little when they talked about Greek or Hebrew translation. Frankly,I figured it was one way of quashing disagreement and showing who’s really the expert. But as I learn, I’m amazed at how frequently a careful look at original words reveals a different understanding of an important point […]

Anybody Wanna SAG?

This is Monte, and I’m part of the team too! Last time Rich told you about all the teams that work together to make FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14 a success. He says we’re working with people all over the world. I don’t know what that means–I’m just a dog–but it sounds cool. He also made this spiffy […]

Now

Goals, plans, all sorts of interesting, fun stuff on the horizon. What about NOW? Am I the only one who gets so involved in what’s […]

Interested In A different Bracketology?

Are you one of the many folks consumed right now with something called “Bracketology”? The NCAA basketball tournament started this week. People who haven’t watched a college basketball game all year are suddenly fans as they try to predict which teams will advance and eventually win what’s known as March Madness. Seems like everyone fills out at […]

Can You Answer This Trick Question?

“What’s the central goal of one who follows Jesus?” Our Bible study asks trick questions. Seems like we ought to know the answer to this one, right? We go to church, read the Bible, listen to the sermons, pray occasionally—we should at least know the main target, shouldn’t we? So before you read any more, […]

Let’s Go Do Stuff Together

I experienced a twinge of unexpected emotion yesterday. Seems like lately I’ve encountered a lot of people who’ve worked directly with trafficking victims. They get to be boots on the ground—building homes, participating in rescues, actually interacting with these folks, hearing their stories, having opportunities to form relationships. They doing real stuff. I don’t get […]

Maybe It’s Pretty Simple

Yesterday the guys in my workshop talked about fear. We looked at a hierarchy of spiritual needs and I asked them to list fears that came to mind if those needs weren’t met. The idea was to help each guy identify where he was in the hierarchy. The exercise proceeded pretty much as I expected, […]

It’s Gettin’ Real

FRONT RANGE FREEDOM TOUR ’14 just got a bit more real! It’s one thing to build web pages, design jerseys, and recruit riders. That stuff’s all fun, part of the dream, but it’s all virtual. When there’s snow on the ground and I’ve been cranking my bike in the garage for three months, it seems […]

Follow

HAPPY MONDAY! A new look at a familiar word prompts today’s word-of-the-week… FOLLOW “Follow me.” That’s the invitation. And it’s natural to ask, “Okay, where are we going?” I think I’ve decided it’s the wrong question. When Jesus called His disciples, He didn’t talk about where they’d go or what they’d do. He simply invited […]
