Gospel-Centered Everything…Even Topical Discussions
I’ve had some great discussions over the past year or so about making Jesus central to every Young Life talk we do. That’s easy most of the time, but challenging when it comes to particularly the Sin talk – telling kids about our separation from God due to our sinfulness. But still, Jesus is & [...]
Obama, Values, & the Bible
If you were like me, the past few months leading up to the election have been draining. I’ve learned a lot about the candidates and myself. I posted my share of Obama criticisms (more than my share probably), and frankly I’m glad it’s all over. I have a new President, and that’s that.

Be Afraid, Very Afraid
On the same (or similar) topic as my last post, this post from Windblown Hope, with an article written by Mike Yaconelli encourages us to fear God.

What Jesus Are You Presenting?
Dr. Darryl Dash recently attended a conference called Revive Your Soul. While there (and you can read about all this at his blog) he enjoyed the conference, but began to feel that it was “just another conference”. That was until the last session.
During the closing session of the Conference, Dr. Dash describes an unpolished & [...]
Why Do We Put Limits On Life
Jesus came to give life, but I’ve found the church is so determined to put limits on it. I can’t smoke, I can’t drink in front of kids. What next? Are they going to tell me I can’t cuss at kids. Ok, I guess some limits on life (whatever that’s supposed to look like) are okay, but I’m [...]
