A man asked me the question out of the blue. “Do we still have idols today?” A couple of options jumped to mind before I answered. First I thought of the host of idol factories I saw in Kathmandu, Nepal, where I spoke at a pastors’ conference a couple of years ago. Our host pastor …
The Bible offers us a profound understanding of the human problem, and a profound solution to the human problem. Yet we are so prone to be superficial on the problem. And simplistic on the solution. How often we think that the issue is something that we can fix, and so we strive to put things …
We may be too hard on the apostle Peter. Or, to put it differently, I think it’s unlikely we would have done much better than he did in his “confession” week. So while we may ‘tut tut’ at him for the dumb side of what he said in those days I suspect we might be …
Last week we gathered as a group of Cor Deo “graduates” and enjoyed two days on “A Vibrant Faith,” looking at 2Corinthians 1-5 and a bit of Jonathan Edwards. Essentially we spent two days pondering the New Covenant. Specifically we thought about the solutions it offers to the human problem. We also recognized how easily …
A rich benefit in reading through the Bible regularly and at a bold pace is that themes start to jump off the pages. One of these—I’ll note it in a moment—especially comes to mind on weekends when believers gather to sing hymns and choruses that profess an unbounded delight in God. At the same time …
It is the middle of the night and our youngest is wide-awake. She has been a good sleeper since a young age, but has been thrown off by our flight back from the US last week. Actually, even the flight was good, but jet lag has gotten her. She is all mixed up, which means …
Yesterday over lunch Matt, a global minister who serves in Germany, shared something important. Brokenness, he commented, is something we all experience in a fallen world but our experience of brokenness is wider than our own sin. By that he meant that particular sins reveal our broken relationship with God as spiritually fallen humans. We …
It is ever so subtle. It can be a hair breadth of a shift, but suddenly we have turned Christianity into a religion. In an instant the breath of life is replaced by the tolling bell of overwhelming burden. We make the shift in evangelism, and we make it in discipleship. We offer it to …
What is real? What is unreal? And how can we know the difference? It isn’t always clear. Today, for instance, we have feature length movies with computer-generated scenes so we might not know at a given moment whether the actor is doing something humanly possible, though exotic, or if he’s being portrayed by some digitized …
Yesterday I enjoyed a great breakfast meeting with a close friend. Three and a half hours sitting across a table and talking, and then only leaving because of an imposed deadline. Today (I am pre-loading this on the site, by the way), we leave for a family holiday, after spending five great weeks visiting with …
