Why are you always giving me your resume?
I was remembering one of my favorite movie scenes today. It was in the Tom Cruise movie A Few Good Men co-starring Demi Moore and Jack Nicholson. Demi Moore plays an insecure female lawyer who is always trying to prove herself to Tom Cruise’s character who is a brash and successful military lawyer. At one

Coincidence with a capital “C”
I was e-mailing a church planter friend of mine and we were sharing crazy “God stories” – things that have fallen into place as we both have walked in faith as church planters. I told him what my wife and I have called these crazy coincidental answers to prayer for quite some time… “Coincidences with

Luther Would Be A Blogger
I’ve been doing a lot of study on Martin Luther for a message that I’m going to give a week from Sunday. It made me begin thinking about Luther & Blogging… Luther touched off the Reformation in the year 1517 through the publication of 95 complaints against the church.

There was a one hour special on Anderson Cooper 360 tonight about Christianity in America. It amazes me how diverse Christianity is… at one point I remember the question coming up on the screen, “What Kind of Christian are You?” Anyway, let’s just say that I kept thinking about a sermon I gave two weeks

Christmas Break & The Fun Business
I remember when I was in school (even grad school) how important Christmas Break was to my emotional health! I always went into the break burned out, and then after a little skiing and movie watching I would come back fresh and excited. The staff at Antioch has been driving pretty hard for a while

Tabernacle Church
This morning, Kim Hunt and I were brainstorming gifts that we could buy for the Regal Cinema staff as a way of thanking them and building goodwill. It’s an opportunity that we have simply because we meet in rented facilities. I love being a “tabernacle church!” (In the Old Testament the tabernacle (in contrast to
