Redemption and Re-Creation
Disconnected Revival
I haven’t had a good rant on my blog in a while and in an effort to write more of what’s on my mind, this is what gets published for the world to see.

Henri Nouwen: Small Steps of Love
“…How can we choose love when we have experienced so little of it? We choose love by taking small steps of love every time there is an opportunity. A smile, a handshake, a word of encouragement, a phone call, a card, an embrace, a kind greeting, a gesture of support, a moment of attention, a helping hand, a present, a financial contribution, a visit … all these are little steps toward love. Each step is like a candle burning in the night. It does not take the darkness away, but it guides us through the darkness. When we look back after many small steps of love, we will discover that we have made a long and beautiful journey…”

On Multi-Site Church…a rant
Now, alert reader Craig Beard has sent me a CNN article about the Holographic preacher. The article by John Blake begins as follows————–The Sunday morning service at Fellowship Church in Dallas, Texas, was humming along with hymns and prayers when something unusual happened.
Jim Wallis and the Status Quo
"When the status quo benefits you, your theology doesn't normally include changing the status quo. For most white, middle-class Christians, the world is working fine. So religion that includes social change doesn't matter. They want to leave things pretty much as they are."
Global Connect Conference August 7-15
I will be speaking at the Global Connect Conference in Kirchheim, Germany next month. Christian Associates International is an incredible group of people who I have enjoyed partnering with for nearly a decade, ever since Linus Morris asked to me speak to the group in Budapest, 2003. Linus has since handed the reins over to Rob Fairbanks and the future looks bright for this group of missional high-achievers, but not without its challenges. Pray for me that I grasp what those challenges are and respond with the hopeful message of God's Word that equips us for every good work!!!
