My lovely bride and I were exploring options in Atlanta last fall during the Catalyst conference and had stopped for a quick bite. Because we were considering moving to Atlanta at the time, we asked the man with the disposable gloves what he thought of Atlanta. “There’s nothing to do in Atlanta,” he replied, matter-0f-factly. Had I been eating, I would have choked on a mouthful... Read more
Although I have great respect for many of the evangelical leaders who signed on to the original letter from the Evangelical Immigration Table, I have a few problems with how the evangelical label is being exploited for political gain. You can read some of my thoughts on that here. I had some hopes that we might actually see meaningful immigration reform early on in the process. [ See my post Immigration 2.0: I Want to Believe! ] I still haven’t... Read more

It’s an odd pairing, I admit. George Soros and Evangelical Christian leaders. There can be little doubt that the Soros agenda and that of most Christians — even most people — is radically different. So why are some claiming that Soros actually enlisted the help of Evangelical leaders to try to push the immigration bill (S. 744) now before the Senate? Did he? The answer is yes. And no. Yes, Soros is funding the the ad campaign for the group... Read more

The Oklahoma tornado that ripped through the Oklahoma City area on May 20 killing 20 — and adding to the 24 already killed in another F5 tornado nearby just 11 days earlier — shocked us all and brought us to our knees in prayer. I recall our kids got out of the pool immediately when they heard the news and gathered to pray as the unimaginable happened. Many good people are now rightly asking how to help the victims of that colossal... Read more
