  • Thoughts on Advent (and Christmas)

    We evangelicals don't do a very good job of celebrating Advent, something many mainline denominations and the Catholics have been doing for quite some time now. But recently, I've fallen more in love with the liturgical calendar. I've come to relish the importance of the seasons of Advent and Lent and the symbolism they represent. I love that they...

  • Is Christianity About Going to Heaven?

    Lately, I've been hearing people talk a lot about Christianity in terms of dying and going to heaven. It's especially prevalent from the evangelical pulpit. You hear things like, "When we go to heaven..." or "In heaven..." -- phrases that are usually followed by some great human conflict resolved. But I'm struggling with this paradigm. I fail to s...

    In these perilous days, the Lord Jesus Christ is separating the sheep from the goats; the wheat from the tare. While these are days of unprecedented opportunity for Gospel ministry and harvest for the Kingdom of God, it is also a time of great attack on the church both from within and without. Compromise and dilution of the pure Gospel of the Lord...

  • Why Discomfort Is Not a Christian's Enemy

    Today at church, we had a discussion about praying "dangerous prayers."

This is a pretty bold and unapologetically honest group, so I appreciated the candor. We talked about how tough it is to trust God sometim...
