Publicly leading a church in prayer deserves thoughtful preparation.

Prayer Preparation Church Thoughtful

My life often feels like a whirling dervish of kids, writing, speaking, and pastoral ministry.

We can't do every good thing there is to do in the world. Too many Christians live under the terror of total obligation, thinking every act of injustice, every opportunity of ministry, and every urgent appeal are our responsibilities.

Good Live Opportunity World Thinking

Ideas Sorry Debate Country Moral

We live in an emotionally fragile culture. We are in touch with every hurt past, present, and perceived. We are the walking wounded, and we want everyone to know.

Live Culture Past Hurt Present Know

As Christians, we worship a victimized Lord. We should expect to suffer and should have particular compassion on those who hurt emotionally and physically. But we do not resemble the Suffering Servant when we take pains to show off our suffering.

Compassion Suffering Hurt Worship

Much of the impotence of American churches is tied to a profound ignorance and apathy about justification. Our people live in a fog of guilt. Or just as bad, they think being a better person is all God requires.

Live God Ignorance People Fog Think

One of the central motivations for holiness in the New Testament is to be who you are, to understand your identity and your union in Christ and to live that way.
