I went to the races yesterday,
specifically, the New Zealand Cup, our
nation’s most prestigious racing
day.
1. I was struck, moving to
Christchurch in 2004, at the buzz around
the New Zealand Cup. What was going on?
What excited people? What did it say
about our society, includin...

That's what you do in the Caribbean for
about six months out of the year. You
live with the prospect of violent winds
and rains blowing over your family,
home, and country. Though tracking
models are helpful, they don't finally
predict where the storms will go or what
damage they may...

2008-11-11 Reimagining Church
I just returned from speaking at a
conference with Milt Rodriguez in Ohio.
It was a great experience. Because
I’m back-logged from being away, I
don’t have time to write the post
that I had wanted to for this week. So

Monday, God willing....

2008-11-11 Evangelical Realism
There are a lot of arguments you could
make with regard to the unreasonableness
of the doctrine of Hell, but in Chapter
14 of TIA, Vox manages to come up with
one so hopelessly garbled and confused
that even he calls it “a
particularly stupid one.” Not
surprisingly, he does...

recently written a new statement of
faith. We’ve tried to write it in
a more narrative form with a minimum
amount of theological jargon and with
some passion. Here it is …

I highly recommend that you watch John
Piper's, seven-minute video entitled:
Thoughts on Voting and Politics. I've
embedded the video at the end of this
post.� I've also provided� a link to
Justin Taylor's remarks about Piper's
video. While both are pre-election
commentary, they are st...

Today I caught myself in a bit of a
rut.
You know those days. The days where
nothing seems quite right. The days when
you’re trying your hardest to be
positive, but there isn’t much to
be positive about.
In Romans, I think
Paul describes exactly why we feel this
way:

From time to time I will have a series
of guests contribute as we dig into the
Psalms. This week we will hear from my
dear brother Joel Brown from Mars Hill.
Joel and I have been working together at
Mars Hill in one way or another since I
came to Seattle 9 years ago. He is a
record pro...
