Weak to be Strong
I had agreed to speak at a seminary for a conference with the theme of “The Leadership of Jesus.” I wasn’t sure what aspect of Jesus’s leadership they wanted me to focus on during my session, but I liked the idea and figured I could adapt my talk to the specific session when I arrived. […]

The Grind of Worry
Worry is one of our more acceptable character faults, right alongside gluttony and perfectionism. After all, everybody worries, and no one quite knows how to stop. Furthermore, the primary victim of worry is the worrier, so it seems harmless enough. But worry is serious business. It not only causes a number of significant physical ailments, […]

Why did God leave us here?
WOULDN’T IT BE wonderful if God would save us and then, within a matter of seconds, take us on to glory? Wouldn’t that be a great relief? We would never have any temptations. We would never have to battle with the flesh. We would never even have the possibility of messing up our lives. We […]

Suffering is a universal language
WE DON’T LOOK ALIKE. We don’t act alike. We don’t dress alike. We have different tastes in the food we eat, the books we read, the cars we drive, and the music we enjoy. You like opera; I like country. We have dissimilar backgrounds, goals, and motivations. We work at different jobs, and we enjoy […]

Wisdom is not shy
Wisdom is not shy; it proclaims itself and speaks out in public places. Like the Lord speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, He spoke wisdom out loud with authority, clarity, and finality. John the Baptist boldly cried out repentance and faith in Christ to the crowds. Wisdom is not a secret secluded in solitary confinement […]

Mr. Hope / The man behind 1 Peter
Hope. It is something as important to us as water is to a fish, as vital as electricity is to a light bulb, as essential as air is to a jumbo jet. Hope is that basic to life. We cannot stay on the road to anticipated dreams without it, at least not very far. Many […]

The gospel and race
We live in a culture where we are constantly submerged in discussions about race and racism. We have conversations and host forums, sponsor debates and foster dialogues, write articles and give speeches about how to solve racial tension in our culture. But could it be that we’re grasping for solutions to a problem we’ve grossly […]
