As Nancy Pearcey says in her book Total Truth, “A Worldview is not the same thing as a formal philosophy; otherwise, it would be only for professional philosophers. Even ordinary people have a set of convictions about how reality functions and how they should live…” Everybody has a worldview. Therefore, it’s not just some intellectual exercise that academics do. It’s a real thing that each of us possess in one shape or another. I’m reminded of one time when I... Read more

Laughter is like a medicine… you need to keep taking it each week in order for it to be effective and this is the place for it! So, my wife called out to me the other day – and I thought she was pulling my leg – and yelled, “Can you help me? I’ve glued my hands together!” She was holding her hands aloft in this odd, twisted manner as if she was learning how to pray for the... Read more

Jesus in HD 170: When "THIS Mountain" Moves Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
To be perfectly honest with you, the passage here in Matthew 21 is coming – for me, at least – at just the right time. And perhaps for you as well. Given the current political climate in our beloved country, and the increasing despair that I have felt as the presidential primary season has now concluded, I so desperately need to hear my own message, courtesy of Jesus. Jesus assured His disciples, “Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing,... Read more

In the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the title hero must make it past three riddles in order to claim the treasure of the Holy Grail – the cup that Jesus drank from at the Last Supper. In the second of those riddles, Indiana must correctly spell God’s true name by stepping on tiles for each letter. One wrong step and he’ll fall to his doom. He says that God’s true name is Jehovah. Now in the movie,... Read more

Q: Why wait if I already did it? I didn’t want to but I felt pressured.~ 11th grade female A:  There are actually three different parts to this question we recently received after a presentation.  One question and two statements.  Let’s look at each of them. First the question:  “Why wait if I already did it?” One of the biggest lies is that if you’ve already done something you have to continue, especially if something could potentially make your life more... Read more

Ideas have stories. What I mean is that ideas that have consequences very often come to us in the context of a narrative.  At Summit, we teach that there are really six big stories of the world that are fighting for your attention.  Robert Webber says that this is “The most pressing spiritual issue of our time: who gets to narrate (tell the story of) the world?” There are six stories right now vying to tell the story of the... Read more

As a young believer coming into a new group of believers, I was so shy.   I kept to myself though I longed to join other young couples and make friends.  I would watch them gather together and keep myself apart from them because I felt so inferior.  I had nothing to offer them, I thought.  I just have to look good and they will think I am together.   It didn’t work.  I mistakenly thought they didn’t like me.  This... Read more

We suffered a pretty terrible storm in my neck of the woods a couple weeks ago: 100 mph straight-line winds, torrential rain, the whole bag of cats and dogs!  Where we live, we were spared most of the devastation, but several o four family and friends who live closer to town were hit hard – massive destruction, no electricity for two weeks, trees uprooted, homes and cars totaled. Personally, my greatest loss was a week with no internet connection!... Read more
