Mythbusting the 12 Days of Christmas
On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me the ability to reason. Not really, it’s five golden rings! The only verse anyone consistently remembers other than the partridge in a pear tree verse. You may have seen the true meaning of “The 12 Days of Christmas” bit passed around, particularly if […]

No peace
Peace on earth. Silent night, all is calm. Tranquility is one of the marks of the Christmas season, but it seems this year there is very little peace on earth. In America, Christians worked ourselves into a frenzy over a magazine interview this Christmas season. Meanwhile, our family around the world goes to Christmas services […]

Christian snow day!
In case you haven’t heard, North Texas has been hit with an enormous ice storm. Last night, freezing fog (FOG?!?!) added another layer to the already thick ice. And all God’s children are staying home. (Seriously, people, unless you absolutely HAVE to go out, stay home.) I will admit that on Day 3 of the […]

Celebrating Reformation Day
Today is Halloween, AKA All Hallow’s Eve, AKA give me some candy! It’s also Reformation Day. On this day in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, in a theological challenge. The rest is church history. But what is a Protestant person to do if they want […]

Pray for the Persecuted Church
In my Washington Times Community Pages Column, I take a brief look at the state of Christians in Asia and Africa. The land where Christianity was birthed is steadily emptying of all Christians. Christian communities that have existed since the first century are disappearing. Frankly, I’m ashamed of myself when I consider my brothers and sisters […]

Blessed are the peacemakers
Our church is doing a series on Acts, and to day we reached the story of Cornelius and Peter (Acts 10). It was a really challenging message, which meant that it was one of those sermons that calls you to change how you think and act. Man, those chafe. Apparently, Jesus calls us to actually […]

Worthy causes
My former pastor used to talk about leaving room in the margins of our budget in order to be able to give. In the Bible, the people are instructed to leave the corners of their fields as well as what is dropped by the harvesters so that the poor could come through the field after […]

A new command
Today Christians celebrate Maundy Thursday, also called Holy Thursday. Maundy comes from the Latin word for mandatum, because on this day in Holy Week Jesus gave a new command to his disciples, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love […]
