When I was a kid, we went on a lot of road trips. We always packed a bag of stuff to do in the car. With the dull pencils, snacks, playing cards, and magazines I always tossed in my gold Pocket Game Boy. I can still imagine leaning against the rear side window of ourContinueContinue reading “Your iPhone Is a False Shepherd”

I Am Racist.
I am racist. Let me explain. I remember in college seeing an episode of Seinfeld where George Costanza frantically tries to prove to his boss, Mr. Morgan, that he’s not racist. It all begins when George insists that Morgan looks just like Sugar Ray Leonard, to which Morgan replies, “I suppose we all look alikeContinueContinue reading “I Am Racist.”

I asked our church this question, and this was the response: “I think we like the hope of somethingContinueContinue reading “About Those New Year’s Resolutions…”
Twitter Shall Not Control the Pulpit
“If you aren’t preaching on abortion, your silence is damning.” “If you aren’t preaching on sex trafficking, you are a part of the problem.” “If you aren’t preaching on racism, you are enabling racists.” “If you aren’t preaching on political issues, you aren’t leading your people.” There aren’t enough weeks in a year. Not enoughContinueContinue reading “Twitter Shall Not Control the Pulpit”
