The command to make disciples is an urgent call to the church. The perpetuity of the missio Dei is dependent upon how well one generation can reach the next.

  • The Scandal of Secularism

    In 2001, John Mullins, Superintendent of the Arab City School System in Alabama, was approached by a group of students requesting the opportunity to offer a prayer before the home football games in the fall.  He enthusiastically encouraged the prayer and it was well received by the fans that season and for the next ten […]

  • The Power of Biblical Compassion

    The Power of Biblical Compassion

    In the parable of the unforgiving servant found in Matthew 18:21-35, Jesus gives a striking illustration of the power of compassion.  The king’s compassion toward the servant who owed him is stunning because his mercy is so undeserved. The word that Jesus chooses to describe the king’s compassion toward the indebted servant is the most […]

    The Greatest Word Ever Spoken

    On the cross Jesus gave seven statements, all of which are important, but perhaps none are as important as his last. “Jesus knew that His mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture He said, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it […]

    Theological Reflections on COVID-19

    Suddenly we are living in a very strange world, a place that we don’t recognize.  The baseball fields are empty, malls are closed, restaurants are bringing your food to the car and we find ourselves digging in our closets for that do-it-yourself haircut product (Flowebee) we purchased back in the 90’s.  Many of the things […]

    Church Member: Are You Unintentionally Killing Your Church?

    When I was a little boy there was a kid that lived in my neighborhood who stopped by the house one day to show me the new kittens that his cat recently delivered.  With excitement he took each of the kittens out of the basket he carried proudly showing them to me.  In the weeks […]

  • Are you also going to leave?

    Are you also going to leave?

    From that time many of his disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Are you also going to leave?” John 6: 66-67. A couple of months ago the Christian world was stunned when a string of pastors and church leaders made public announcements regarding their intention of […]

    Confessions of an Adoptive Parent

    This summer marks my ninth year as an adoptive parent. The summer of 2010 was such an exciting time for our family as we boarded a plane heading to the Far East.  That trip would change our lives forever but I am unsure that any of us, including our adopted son, understood the challenges that […]

    Having a Sustained Joy for the Journey: Being vs. Doing

    Being a follower of Christ is a journey and too many followers sit as abandoned cars on the side of the road to heaven simply because they either lost faith or the joy of the journey.  As believers in Christ, God has saved us for eternity but has not immediately taken us to our eternal […]
