This photo sickens me. I imagine my mom, my wife, my daughters having to drink this kind of water in this kind of way. This photo sickens me. Does it sicken you? In light of this photo, this is also what sickens me: Americans spend an average of $450 billion on Christmas. To solve the world’s clean water problem would require only $10 billion dollars. 1.1 billion do not have clean water to drink. The ...

My trip to the east coast has elicited much reflection & conversation about pastoring and starting new churches. I met with no less than 3 church planters while there and heard the glories and the “crap times” as one put it. I’m no church planting hotshot but i’ve got invaluable experience on several things that [...]

Or maybe two or three. I made a decision last year sometime. I don’t remember when it was. But I remembered it this year and I had time to make good on it. The decision was that I would make our Christmas gifts for extended family members. I think the decision began sometime around “Make Something Day,” but by then it was too late for me. Especially since I had 35 people in my house ...

In light of the economic meltdown, the lectionary reading for this week is highly appropriate. Matthew 25:14-20 is the parable of the talents (refering to units of money rather than abilities or skills). It’s a story about investments, risks, and returns. Two of the employees did quite well in the markets, doubling their employer’s investments. But the third played it safe, and though he didn’t lose the money, he didn’t earn a return. The result ...

I did an interview this morning with a national secular magazine about the efficacy of "door-to-door outreach" and will link to the story as soon as it's available. Much of what I shared came from some research we did at the Center for Missional Research on whether or not door-to-door is an effective tool. Here is what we published last year: Every Saturday morning at First Church, dedicated church members meet to do something both ...

As a follow-up to yesterdays post, My Missional Order friend Brad Sargent has posted a response at his blog, futuristguy, to Frank Viola’s “Three Questions on the Meaning of Missional.” Excellent read so be sure to do so and then leave Brad a comment on your reaction. Brad captures much of the essence of missional. Two of my favorite lines (among many): There will always be a dynamic tension or paradox between missional individuals and ...

After Molly's symptoms returned from Chiari I Malformation in July, we learned soon after that she would face a second brain surgery. It was devastating to us, but the first surgery went so well and helped so much that we anticipated good things. As you know, things haven't gone very well. But that isn't the point of this post.Before the second brain surgery was even scheduled we had some folks at our local elementary school ...

What do you think of when you hear the word "world?" What's your response, or reaction? A cursory reading of the New Testament can make it seem like John can't even make up his mind on the subject of "the world." In John 3:16 he wrote: "For God so loved the world..." But then in 1 John 2 he wrote: "Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone ...

Read Me. I have received a bunch of amazon gift certificates so I’ve bought about 6 new books in the last two weeks. Soon I’ll list a bunch of them here. But I just wanted to take a quick post to recommend a book that I just started reading called “Linking Arms, Linking LIves: How Urban-Suburban Partnerships Can Transform Communities.” My friend JR Rozko recommended it and when he recommends a book, I usually do ...
