On this day, 55 years ago, my father delivered his last speech entitled, ‘I’ve Been to the Mountaintop’. Listen to his words.

One of the severe limits of “saved/not saved” language is it leads to a myopic view of salvation. When this happens, many don’t see the need to be continually rescued from the enslaving powers of the world. In Christ we are: Saved Being Saved Will be Saved

I don't think people fully grasp how much of Protestant Christianity is going to die off in the next 3 decades. 68% of Missouri Synod Lutherans have seen their 55th birthday. It's 57% of Southern Baptists. There's no major denomination where a majority are under 45 yrs old!

And it may be that those under 45 who remain will so dramatically change these denominations & their theology that it won’t resemble the Protestant Christianity we’re familiar with in America today.

Republicans are making a mockery of our Congress. Every hour they waste with grandstanding, we’re not… —Investing critical infrastructure dollars. —Passing funding for small businesses. —Supporting working families. I’m ready to get to work.

I used to argue with others who didn’t believe women could preach and pastor. So much energy wasted. Nowadays, I just train and provide opportunities for women to preach in our congregation. And when they do, hearts are changed, Jesus is glorified and the church is edified.

No matter how you vote, you are welcome in our church. I just ask that you would commit to see politics thru Jesus & not Jesus thru your politics; that you would be curious about why your brothers & sisters see things differently. And that you would live humble, prayerful lives.

Christ-likeness is the goal of the Christian. Not an owning of one’s enemy. Not a Christian nation. Not a comfortable life. Not good doctrine. Not pious morality. Christ-likeness embodying love of God and love of other: that’s the goal.

Practicing gratitude is more than simply saying "thank you." It trains us to respond with all that we are to God’s generosity loom.ly/uHjBk20

The first person in scripture to name God is Hagar. A woman. Single mother. African slave. She says “I have seen the one who sees me.” God calls her by name. Abram and Sarai do not. God has a way of exalting the vulnerable.

Why is it that in the spaces most apt to argue for human depravity as a theological essential that I most often see a failure to reckon with real personal, relational, and systemic failure?
