A Saint Patrick’s Day Prayer
Saint Patrick’s Day is like Thanksgiving for my family. We share a meal, a few laughs, and rally around our common Irish ancestry. There’s dancing, music, and memories made every year. I’ve already made the case that “Saint” Patrick is perhaps the greatest missionary since the Bible was written. And my wife Jennifer and…

Don’t Call It A Comeback
January 3, 1993: the Buffalo Bills were down 35 to 3 against the Houston Oilers. They were getting their butts kicked all over the field at home in a playoff game. They were missing their future hall of fame quarterback Jim Kelly who was injured the week before. The game wasn’t even a sellout. The…

Just Shut Up And Listen
Just shut up and listen. Just a for a moment. If you want to see this dark world change, then light it up. Go to it. Don’t sit around in a church building and wait for the masses to come to you for answers. If you’re spending all your time with Christians, you probably don’t…

Stay Bitter? This Happens
If you never forgive, and wish only for others to “get what they deserve” you will be just like Jonah. Jonah lives on through history in a very short story in the Bible as the example of how terrible and destructive bitterness can be, and how God will still accomplish his purposes without you while…
