This may come as a bit of a surprise to many of you, but I don’t use Twitter. Not only do I not use Twitter, but don’t really ever plan to. I usually try to stay ahead of the curve on technology and this would be a good way to do that, but there are…
I sat in on one of our classes last night at St. Peter’s. Never have I heard anything on the need for lament in the lives of Christians. It was a deeply personal and tender class and I really am still processing this whole idea. Using Psalm 62, Gordon Bals walked us through what lament…
I absorbed as much as I could yesterday, knowing that this would be a day talked about for quite a while. There was a lot that happened, probably for the first time, but the magnifying glass was out probably as much as it has ever been as well. There were record crowds at the Mall…

I don’t often post on trivial stuff that I just think is cool, but I have to make an exception from time to time. I have been seeing a lot of stuff about the Watchmen movie and was mildly interested. I haven’t read the comic, so I don’t have a lot of investment like some…

I just saved money by switching to Geico. Much like this ad series, evangelistic efforts across the globe have enticed people to start a relationship with God by telling them about some good news that they will want to know one day. I grew up hearing the Four Spiritual Laws, Evangelism Explosion, and many other…

There is an interesting discussion going on over at the YM 3.0 page on Facebook. Part of the book dealt with how we see sacraments playing into how we do community in youth ministry and how many ministries are returning to ancient practices to form community. Highlights so far: “True communion is the example we’ve…
