This is the view I’m waking up to this week. I’m in the Outer Banks with my wife’s family for the week and so far it’s been wonderful. However, it’s not all fun and games for me. A couple of weeks ago I got the substantive edit for my book The Scandal of Holiness: Dirty Hands, Unclean Lips, and the Power of Redemptive Embrace (coming this September from CLC Publications – hint, hint). I was supposed to have those edits... Read more
As I’m always welcoming new people to the blog I sometimes like to revisit an old post or two that sparked a good conversation, but may have been missed by those who weren’t around when it was originally posted. I’m getting ready to head out for a week of peace and relaxation at beach and it reminded me of something I wrote a while back. So, here’s that post from the vault .It’s about how simply pausing to enjoy the life God has... Read more
I’ve always loved Ron Burgundy. He’s a man’s man. He drinks scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. He owns many leather bound books. And while he may not speak Spanish, he sure does play a mean jazz flute solo. One thing I didn’t know about everybody’s favorite anchorman? Apparently he loves Jesus. Or at least they’re good buddies. According to Starcasm.net, the folks that took this picture, this RV is being used in Anchorman 2. How? Who knows, but they’ve got some ideas... Read more
If you blog long enough, someone will eventually call you a heretic. Self-appointed orthodoxy watchdogs plague the internet almost as much as porn. Say something outside their particular theological tradition and they’ll damn your soul to an eternity in hell as fast as you can click “publish” on your blog post. My latest accusation of heresy came last week on Twitter. My theological crime? I don’t believe in Biblical inerrancy. I tried pointing out to my inquisitor that Biblical inerrancy... Read more
I love basketball. I’ve played it for almost as long as I could walk. Growing up I spent countless hours in my broken, gravely driveway rehearsing my inevitable future in the NBA. Obviously that future wasn’t as inevitable as I thought it was, but I learned a lot of things about life I would need for my future off the court. One of the biggest and most valuable lessons that has helped me in a whole variety of areas from... Read more
You remember the story of Elijah on Mt. Carmel, right? You know, when Elijah poured a bunch of water on the altar, then called down fire from heaven that consumed pretty much everything. Well, what you may not have realized is that Elijah was actually just grilling up a few steaks. Couple of ribeyes and a t-bone to be exact. Read more
In one of my favorite episodes of The Office Michael Scott explained why presents are so great…. Presents are the best way to show someone how much you care. It is like this tangible thing that you can point to and say “Hey man, I love you this many dollars-worth.” There’s an awesome birthday card that plays this quote whenever you open the card. I got it for my wife one year. She loved it. Which is a big reason why... Read more
Lots of people have Jesus tattoos. But few have one this bad. Found here. Read more
As I’m always welcoming new people to the blog I sometimes like to revisit an old post or two that sparked a good conversation, but may have been missed by those who weren’t around when it was originally posted. Today I’m finishing up my last paper for the semester. So here’s a post from the vault about learning to live in the tension of the unanswered. The more I read the Bible the less convinced I am that it was... Read more
