Did You Really Hear What You Heard?

Our church heard sort of a groundbreaking message this weekend. (I told you part of it last time. You can watch here if you wish.) I suppose in the grand scheme of things it wasn’t earth-shattering. A buddy used to keep things in perspective by quipping, “It can’t be that important if more than a […]

How Do You Think It Ends?

I love stories that paint word pictures. This weekend our pastor shared an amazing story he experienced as a dream—or nightmare. You decide. This one’s gonna stick with me a while. # # # In his dream, he was standing on the platform in the church auditorium when a pleasant, refreshing rain began falling inside […]

Church

Happy Monday! A common thought brings us today’s word-of-the-week… CHURCH Recently someone commented, “Church causes more problems than it solves.” It’s not a new notion. Churches have had issues since they were established more than two thousand years ago. Many of Paul’s letters specifically address some dysfunctional church activity. The basic problem with church is […]

A Surprising Commercial

Happy Saturday! I probably saw this commercial a half-dozen times on TV before I fully realized what was happening. Admittedly, I watch this activity from a biased perspective. This time, my bias prevented me from hearing an important message. Watch and listen all the way to the end and let us know what you think. […]

Find A Way

On Labor Day, Diana Nyad stumbled onto a beach in Key West, Florida. Nearly 53 hours after jumping into the ocean in Havana, Cuba, she finally completed a lifelong dream to swim 103 miles from Cuba to Florida. Diana Nyad is 64 years old. This was her fifth attempt, the first coming when she was […]

What Do Christians Believe?

This week I’m leading an adult Sunday school class called “What Do Christians Believe?” Except it’s not really a class. There’s no formal curriculum, no goals and objectives, and (gasp!) no exams. It’s really more of a multi-week forum, a chance to ask questions that don’t get asked a lot in church. My sense is […]

Is This A Broken Promise?

Can a promise mean something bigger than you imagined? On last June’s Front Range FREEDOM Tour we had the opportunity to participate in worship at First Presbyterian Church in Pueblo. The sermon reminded me of an evening a few years ago when Becky and I were invited to speak at a local church’s “family movie […]

Door

Happy Monday! Becky’s wisdom inspires today’s word-of-the-week… DOOR Suppose someone knocks on your front door. You go to the door and try to PUSH it open. You sweat and strain and shove with all your might. You really want to open that door, but despite your best effort you’re unable to force it open. Your […]

How Can We End Hunger?

When a child’s hungry, we provide something to eat. It’s not complicated. There’s no circumstance in which childhood hunger is okay. So we’re honored to partner with Convoy of Hope and their Children’s Feeding Initiatives. Every single day they provide food for more than 125,000 kids around the globe. As long as kids are hungry, […]

Putting The Boys To Bed

Happy Saturday! As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s dream, we need to remember that our worlds are “inextricably bound” together. Your actions impact me, as mine impact you. As Congressman John Lewis remarked about the descendants of slaves and slave owners, “We may have arrived on different ships, but now that we’re […]
