    In last night’s show of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart spent a segment laying into Keith Olberman, host of MSNBC’s Countdown. He is the liberal equivalent to Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, and he used to be a host of ESPN’s Sports Center.  He’s known for his quick wit, fast-talking diatribes and punchy rhetoric.  I don’t…

    We went to the MLK Holiday Breakfast this past Monday.  This was the 20th year of the event, and this year’s speaker was the Rev. Dr. Joseph Lowery.  The 88-year-old Dr. Lowery has been a pillar in the civil rights movement, a friend of Dr. King, and he delivered the Benediction at President Obama’s Inauguration. I…

    This past Sunday on Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume offered some commentary and advice for Tiger Woods in the wake of his scandal.  I have no comment about Tiger.  Brit suggested that Tiger should become a Christian because it offers a better path for redemption than Buddhism, which allegedly Tiger Woods adheres to.  Hume suggested…

    Anyone want to read the Bible more this coming year?  It’s a favorite New Year’s resolution for Christians.  Often times we start from the beginning and then get bogged down in the early books.  We give up before we get out of the month of January.   If you’re looking for a new way to…

    I sit at my desk watching the snow rapidly accumulate. It sounds like this will be a storm for the ages as some experts predict as much as a foot and a half will fall! In just a few short hours our world has changed into what it’s meant to be. It has become both…

    Oh, how I love them!  I just dropped of a friend, Gerald Wu, at the airport today.  He’s a Singaporean college student who just finished up a semester as an exchange student at the University of Minnesota.  We were introduced over email by a mutual friend.  Gerald happily jumped on board with our church plant…

    Mark Batterson loves Jesus.  I’ve now read two of his books, Wild Goose Chase and Primal, and the portrait I get of him is a high energy (possibly over-caffeinated, he started a coffee shop) Jesus junky.  He comes across as an adventurer in pursuit of new ways to articulate God’s love. And the good news…

    This past weekend was the big move.   We moved three whole blocks, but we might as well have been moving to a different state.  We still had to box everything up, and we hired movers because we’ve got some really heavy items.  In honor of our move, I thought I’d put together a top…

    Have you ever been asked by someone, “Do you believe Jesus is the only way to heaven?”  Or, “what about that person in the remote jungle who has never heard about God, are they going to hell?”  These are awkward questions to answer.  Any time someone is asking you to pass judgment on another persons…

    Yesterday we successfully had our first public worship service for our new church plant New City Covenant!  It went really, really, well.  It was so much fun to see everything come together.  The praise band sounded great, the welcoming crew did a fantastic job, the volunteers who helped setup were tireless servants, the kids had a…
