MacArthur on Emerging Church: “Hear No Truth, Speak No Truth, Follow No Truth”

“This is not an intellectual movement.”

Can Or Should Christians Judge One Another?

Christians are to judge disputes between members of the local body of believers so they can settle these disputes

Do you feel mighty?

I had the privilege of being interviewed by Alan Ahlgrim–the lead minister of Rocky Mountain Christian Church–yesterday.  In two weeks, they are kicking off a church-wide study based on my latest book Eats With Sinners and they wanted to interview me on video to introduce the series. In the process I got to sit in [...]

Thoughts of God from the Oregon Coast

My family and I just got home from a two-week adventure in the Northwest. We spent the first week vacationing our way out to Portland for a speaking engagement.  We camped at Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, stayed with friends in Boise, and spent three days in a beach house on the Oregon Coast (Gleneden Beach to [...]

Are you focused on what will last?

Am I focused on what is going to last? If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now you know I love to ask questions to get you thinking…  Here is one that I have been asking myself for a few months now.  Am I focused on what is going to last? It’s often [...]

Those of you who know me, know I am somewhat of an amateur cartoonist.  I have RSS'd several "underground" cartoonists.  One of my faves is David Malki.  His strip, called "Wondermark" has sharp wit and sometimes bizarre thoughts and drawings… to say the least.  Take a look at this one:

Busyness “the problem” we LOVE to admit we have!

Just 10 more min on this project then I’ll go to bed, just one more episode of my favorite show, a little bit more time on Facebook, just one more article in the local newspaper, as soon as I finish watching the local news… Busyness is a plague in our country, we ALL deal with [...]

You’re as happy as your going to be with or without. It does not come from getting more, or having what you want, it comes from being satisfied and finding happiness in what God has blessed you with now!

Can you succeed and still love God?

I believe that monetary wealth doesn’t have anything to do with success, and things like peace, rather than wealth should be used to define success. Ask a person with money but no peace if they are happy and satisfied, if they answer honestly, they will never say they are happy.

Is worry eating you alive?

Is worry eating you alive?   Do you lay awake at night trying to figure out how to make it all work…   Do you often look back fondly to when “things were easy” and when you didn’t have the worry you have now?     Being worried about stuff, worried about things that are totally [...]
