I've been deep in the book of Revelation for a sermon series the last 6 months, and the relevancy of the book for our modern political moment is remarkable. Here's some thoughts about it. thirdrva.org/news-posts/the…

On Epiphany of all days, the day we celebrate the light of King Jesus whose Kingdom of peace subverts all political, nationalist and racist ideologies, we are forcefully faced with the darkness of our own idolatries. Have mercy on us Jesus, and bring us light.

Studying the spiritual fruit of kindness this week. Because the Greek word for Christ (christos) was so similar to the word for kind (chrestos), many people mistakenly called Jesus' early followers "the kind ones." Now that's something to recover.

Today would have been John Stott's 100th birthday. One of the greatest blessings of my life was serving as his study assistant from 1999-2003. I wrote a piece for Missio Alliance about why I think he is such a vital voice for today. missioalliance.org/commemorating-…

I'm on a mission to help "the youths" learn about and recover the ministry and thought leadership of John Stott. He's a vital voice in the face of current fracturing of evangelicalism. Here's an interview I recently gave on a podcast about his legacy. thestottlegacy.podbean.com

At a planning meeting this morning for the planning of the National Slavery Museum in Richmond. So exciting to envision what could be. “We cannot heal the deep wounds inflicted during the era of racial terrorism until we tell the truth.” -Bryan Stevenson

Liturgy must be ... COMMUNAL (the community prays as one), CLEAR (simple to understand), CONCISE (not ponderous or novel), CORRECT (reflecting creedal Christianity), CYCLICAL (repeated often), but also COMPELLING (beautiful to the ear and the heart). - from a wise mentor !

Esau McCaulley is a wonder. His blend of biblical and liturgical themes is precisely what the church (not to mention the state) needs to hear. As one who has devoted my life to the problem of evil, I've rarely heard it so well laid out in a short space. nytimes.com/2022/06/10/opi…

Despite a prior suicide attempt, threats toward his family, & police confiscating his knives the shooter LEGALLY purchased the weapons used on July 4 in #HighlandPark. Those killed were not victims; they were sacrifices offered to America's Baal, the gun.
