Leslie Newbigen notes, “The theme of promise and fulfillment runs like a thread throughout the whole Bible.”  In Acts 2, we see the continuing story of Christ’s redemption in and through His people.  The events that unfold are fulfillment of long-awaited expectations.  Jesus had previously told His disciples:
Luke 24:44
44 Then he said to them, “These […]

For my brother’s birthday, a pile of us are having a little gathering for tea and cookies at Club Hollywood. The show will be totally off the chain to be sure…I guess I’m officially of chaperon age. In recent years, I’ve become a big fan of Maylene and the Sons of Disaster (check […]

A few years ago I read Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point. It’s an extremely insightful book- I highly recommend it. Recently, Wes referred me to a book called Made to Stick. The authors state how this book is a companion to The Tipping Point as they explore the stickiness of ideas. […]

I’ve been meaning for some time to check out this show. It comes on the radio on Sunday morning during our church worship gathering, so I always miss it. However, I finally subscribed to the Speaking of Faith podcast and even searched the archives. The episode A History of Doubt (archived podcast […]

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is recorded in all four gospels and is a foundational tenet of Christian faith.  The doctrine is under fire today being countered with the same heresies that are as old as the faith itself.  Some suggest Jesus had no physical resurrection.  Others suggest that the resurrection is a metaphor for […]

I live in Augusta, GA - home of the Masters Golf Tournament.

Locals flock to the supermarket parking lot across the […]

It’s been a few years since I first heard the music of Trent Monk. He’s come a long way, and the Monk and Neagle stuff sounds great!
Trent will be performing a special living room concert tonight at Vintage 965 (thanks Ben and Claire for putting this all together!) The concert is FREE but […]

Many wrestle with the relationship between the person and the message of Jesus Christ. Many claim to love the person, and often neglect the message. Likewise, many will focus on the message while neglecting the person of Christ- either reducing Christianity to a moralistic religion or an ethereal liberal collection of principles. […]

So, where have I been the past few days?  Enjoying the beach with my family…Emi’s first time (and like her mom, she loves the beach!)

It was great to get out of town, visit with family and friends, and do some reading.  Much needed down time…

Last night we attended a great concert- Athlete and Switchfoot in Aiken, SC.  Overall, the show was fantastic.  As always in our region of the universe, there are some interesting observations.
For starters, it appeared about 90% of the attendees were half my age.  I commented that the audience seemed to be the children of the […]
