The Prayers of a Just Person
Most of you will be familiar with James 5:16, “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” What springs to mind when you think of this Scripture? Doesn’t it seem that our sinlessness is a pre-condition to having an effective prayer life? But that doesn’t make any sense if the process of... Read More
Oops again!
I am really embarrassed to say that the God Journey After-Show we had scheduled with Tobie van der Westhuizen from South Africa next weekend has had to be delayed another week. He informed me yesterday that he had an irresolvable scheduling conflict that would prevent him from joining us that day. He was profoundly... Read More
Thank You, Thank You, and Oops!
I’ve got two quick things to update you on. First, we are so grateful for those who have responded to the need in Kenya to rescue the orphanage we built fifteen years ago. Torrential rains have caused the land to shift, and without your help, the government would have shut it down. In just... Read More
Living Loved on Steroids
It feels like someone walked into my office and unfurled a treasure map on my desk. "There's gold there," he said, waving his hand across the aged parchment. It was more a puzzle than a map. There were no hills, rivers, or oceans but words, images, and symbols. It looked familiar, but I couldn't... Read More
Devastation in Kenya Continues
The torrential rains that destroyed the crops in North Pokot a few months ago now threaten to wash out the original orphanage we helped to build in 2009. If you remember the story, we helped rescue 45 orphans from a slum near Eldoret who were living in their sewage. Thanks to your generosity, we... Read More
Fierce Hope and Power Unleashed
These books couldn't be more different. One is a memoir of a woman whose young husband's unfaithfulness destroys all her dreams and hopes and how God rebuilt her life in the aftermath. The other is a fictional story about a woman who must fight with everything in her to rescue the world from the... Read More
Seeing the End from the Beginning
Many of you wrote me about the videos I shared of Sara's new garden. It is a joy to live in the middle of this. But there's another story here. Sara saw this garden before we ever moved into his house and if you saw what the yard looked like when we bought the... Read More
Chapter 9: Eyes to See, Ears to Hear
Note: This is the ninth in a series of letters written for those living at the end of the age, whenever that comes in the next fifteen years or the next one hundred and fifty years. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are... Read More
Do You Want to Talk with Me?
The last few years have brought a lot of change to the trajectory of my journey. Living loved is taking me to places I've never considered and brought more joy and fullness to my life than I've ever known. I've shared most of the changes in that journey on the weekly podcast as well... Read More
Painting with Flowers
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting. Ralph Waldo Emerson My wife paints with flowers, and what an amazing job she does. We've lived at our new home for just a little over a year and I wanted to share Sara's latest garden with so many of you... Read More
May You Bloom and Grow Forever
I never expected to be undone in the middle of a theatrical production of The Sound of Music, but I was. I tell this story in today’s podcast, Unmanipulatable, but I wanted to share it here as well for those who might miss it there. Last Saturday, Sara and I went to see this... Read More
Chapter 8: Love What Is True
Note: This is the eighth in a series of letters written for those who will be living at the end of the age, whenever that comes. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are not already subscribed to this blog and want to make... Read More
Is There Any Vengeance in God?
Proposal: There is no vengeance in God's agony for the sin of the world. I'm putting that out there, hoping to start a conversation with many of you. I grew up believing God was incredibly vengeful. The Old Testament writers convinced me. Their writings were full of God-is-going-to-get-you passages against Israel's enemies, and even... Read More
Chapter 7: The Power of Tenderness
Note: This is the seventh in a series of letters written for those who will be living at the end of the age, whenever that comes. Once complete, I’ll combine them into a book. You can access the previous chapters here. If you are not already subscribed to this blog and want to make... Read More
A Culture of Abuse
I listened to this yesterday and how wish everyone else would too. It isn't easy to listen to, but this presentation by Sheila Wray Gregoire, an author and researcher on sexual abuse offers some critical information for us to understand the culture of abuse that permeates Christianity. According to her research, much of evangelical... Read More
And the Lessons You Will Learn
Not only did we go to some amazing places, talked with a lot of incredible people, but we also learned so much about each other and how God is working in us. Every day is an adventure in the life of Jesus no matter where we are. I love how he shows up in... Read More
The People You Will Meet...
We meet many people in RV Parks who are traveling to National Parks or other points of interest. We've seen some interesting sights, too, including forests, beaches, historic towns, Churchill Downs, and even the new Sphere in Las Vegas. But what governs our travel is the people we meet and the invitations people extend... Read More
