You know the story: boy meets girl, they fall in love, they get married and start a family. It’s a very familir story for many, but this isn’t their story. This is the story of Jesse and Laura. This is a story of redemption and love. I first met Jesse at one of the Night [...]
I watched “Instinct” this weekend. Apart from having an amazing cast of actors, the movies had some great dialog. There is a scene in the movie that has become the inspiration of this entry: In a dramatic fashion, Dr. Ethan Powell (Anthony Hopkins) helps the young Dr. Theo Caulder (Cuba Gooding Jr.) realize that as [...]
Last year I took a Social Justice class at Life Pacific College (highly recommended for anyone). A major part of the class was to present a variety of social issues that plague our world. Everything from clean water to child slavery, extreme global hunger to local homelessness. It was hard leaving that class and not [...]
Focus on the Family, an Evangelical Christian ministry, set up a website called, “Stand for Christmas.” On the website they rate retailers on how “Christmas Friendly” they are. Apparently what qualifies as, “Christmas Friendly” are stores that say “Merry Christmas” and that’s about it. If a store is not Christmas friendly, Focus on the Family [...]
At one point of history, conferences were like the high holy days of the evangelical world. More recently, big conferences with big speakers, big budgets, big budgets, big venues, and big hype seem to be coming to an end. After attending NYWC09, the reality of the death of big conferences seems to be immanent.
This past Friday I had a opportunity of being a guest speaker at the Chinese Christian Alliance Church in Torrance, Ca. I got to talk to the guys in the youth group about sex. But more than just talking about sex, I spent the first half of our conversation addressing the question, “What is a [...]
Last Wednesday I went down to visit an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico. As I was talking to the director and some of the staff, they began to share about the realities of human trafficking and child sex slavery that takes place down in Mexico. I knew that trafficking was a reality in Mexico but was [...]
It’s no secret that I’m addicted to the internet. I’m always connected and I’m always reading/looking through new content. It’s easy for some to sit back and judge but if we’re honest, we’re all addicted to it to some degree. Often times people ask me what are some sites that I look at. My typical [...]
I didn’t get much sleep last night. I spent a good part of the night on Twitterfall.com watching the live tweets of the #IranElection. There are thousands, if not millions of people who are already chiming in on the politics of this event, so I adding my two cents would just be repeating what a [...]
Just got done with the missions conference at my church. There was a lot of talk about cell group and cell strategy. I have to say that I really did enjoy some of the thoughts that Joel Comiskey said; especially about being relational and about doing life together. I think some times we’re so concerned [...]
