Come sing with us!

God called all of us to be more than consumers. We receive from Him in order to give to others — and this is true in all areas of life. Sometimes we give our specialty, so that others can ben…

Showing up matters. Just show up.

A grain of wheat falls into the ground. It is buried in the heart of the earth until God waters it with rain, and it sprouts to life. Growth, more rain, the harvest, the mill, the bakery, and it’s on the shelf at your local grocery store as a loaf of bread, where someone buys it and brings it to chu...

How we lost parish ministry

We closed the last post with a question: Why don't we still do parish ministry today? Why do we no longer think of ourselves as responsible for the spiritual well-being of everyone in our immediate geographic area?
Let’s continue the story…
For a long time, there was only one church in the village. ...

If you can't see the humor in this election cycle, you may not see it like God does.

We should have known in 2011.
A congressman gets busted for sending pictures of his bulging grey underpants to a young woman. Just your run-of-the-mill sexting scandal, right? But the name of the congressman sending dick pics turned out to be Anthony...Weiner.
You wouldn’t dare write fiction like this. The only author I’ve ever read who might get away with it is Douglas Adams -- we’ve reached that level of absurdist storytelling.
Only...it’s not fiction.
As Christians, we know that history is a story that God is writing. As Americans, it’s time we recognized that at the moment, God is writing satire, and we are the punchline. It’s getting more obvious by the day.
The same people who skipped the Oscars because all the nominees were white are flocking to the Democratic caucus, where all the nominees are...white. And the millennials -- the most diversity-preoccupied generation ever? They’re overwhelmingly backing an old, white guy.
The Republicans in the audience aren’t laughing, because, well. When the conservative party’s debates turn into a discussion of p***s size, you don’t have a lot of room for laughing at the other guys, do you?
And that’s before we even get to the names. A couple from Arkansas named Hill and Billy? A career politician with the initials B.S.? An outsider who swoops into the party and Trumps all the favored candidates? The lifetime backseat drivers of the Republican Party terrified of Cruz control?
It’s only going to get better. And by better, of course, I mean worse.
The spiritual mechanics here are Bible 101: we turned our political process into a dirty joke long ago. God is the caricature artist who is making it obvious, and His chosen medium is real life. Read Psalm 2: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The question is, will we laugh with Him?
If we have repented of the miserable fellowship we’ve been keeping, then I think we can get enough distance to see the humor in the situation. And of course, it helps to keep a sharp eye on the New Jerusalem. It’s gonna be bad for a while, but it’ll be okay in the end.

In the meantime, pass the popcorn.

This will take about 20 minutes to go through. It's worth it.
