Your First Love

One of my favorite books from last year was "With" by Skye Jethani. He asks the question What is the most important thing in your life, what is your treasure?" He points out that if the answer to that question isn't Jesus. Then what you've got, no matter how great it is, is an idol. And the church might just be the one to blame.

Can I Get a Witness?

As we read through the book of Revelation, we would do good to remind ourselves that this letter isn't written to us, at least not directly they way we think about it. It was first written to Jesus followers who lived in the world ruled by Rome. They were misunderstood, for the most part they lived in poverty and on the margins, they were beginning to be hated and persecuted, and so God gives John a vision for them.

More Than Civil

What stands out about Dr. King in this video is how he treated these people, and how he responded to the face of some pretty insidious seeming questions. He was extremely civil. In our day, these kinds of conversations would have been filled with lots of yelling and red-faced name calling. But that wasn't what Dr. King's dream was.

Revelation and “The End of the World”

The Book of Revelation seems like the Mayans got to sit on the meeting where the put together the Bible. They just sit there listening and then snuck a copy of something in while everyone was on a coffee break. I imagine that the book of Revelation is going to be talked about a lot this year, so what does it really mean, and what is it really trying to say?
