Tax Collectors and Hate

In my daily Scripture reading, I just finished up the gospels. As I read, I kept seeing something that both made me laugh and think more deeply about its meaning. Here are a few examples:
Luke 7:28-31 – I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!” When they heard this, all the people—even the tax collectors—agreed that God’s way was right,...

Being given an NIV, Thompson Chain Reference Bible 37 years ago (I believe it was just about April also, but since I tend to miss details, I have no recollection of the date) began a lifelong discovery of mysteries that would be revealed day after day, year after year, and I am confident will go on into eternity. There is no bottom to the ocean of realities that the Lord speaks to me on a regular basis, wave after wave....

I was in class last Friday. I love this class. I’ve taken it five times. This is my sixth. I’m still learning. The teacher has two PhDs. He makes your head hurt. But like John Cougar Mellencamp says, “It hurts so good.”
The coolest thing for me is that many years ago, I was this guy’s Young Life leader. I was there when he turned his life over to Jesus. Now, he is teaching me about him. It gives me chills...

Director Tomm Moore knows the feeling of being otherized. “When I was a little kid, I was in a playground and I was playing with this little kid and his brother came over and asked if I was catholic or protestant and that’s how I found out I was catholic and how I found out that there was a problem with being one or the other.” Moore and his team have recently been nominated for their third Academy Award for...

Finding Community [Part 2]

Last time, I detailed my journey from spiritual community to spiritual community from Sevierville, TN to Columbus, OH. I left off with the somewhat ominous and vague “and then came real life.” That may sound a bit dramatic but that’s because, for me at least, it was.
In the months between graduation from divinity school and moving to Ohio, I struggled with the fear that I didn’t know how to work, just how to get through school. After seven years of...
Unlocking the Chatterbox

There are vast differences between extrovert types and introverts (I know, Captain Obvious). For example if a lively conversation is occurring, you can observe the extrovert’s body language steadily leaning in, taking a pre-word breath, and appearing quite animated as said extrovert prepares to jump right in there. In contrast, you can watch the body language of an introvert pulling back (almost becoming one with their chair), appearing thoughtful, and even sometimes overwhelmed by the excitement. An extension of God’s...
