Thoughts on Christmas Eve
Well my wife and son are off work today, but I still have to work, today and tomorrow. Of course I'm not complaining. I get to proclaim the Gospel of Christ on the most blessed birthday of all. I count it as an extreme privilege to get to do what I do, but especially tonight.You see if past years are any indication, my church will be full tonight. I'll see people who I haven't seen all year. Some church folks lament these people. They've even given them a nickname, "Chreasters." They're the…See More

Fake News and the Power of Story
You've probably been hearing about this a lot lately, the idea of fake news. I have to tell you the truth today, fake news is for real. Is it true, of course not, but, and this is something anyone who wants to communicate any message needs to learn, to the vast majority of the public, perception is reality. Think about how many people believe all manner of things after having seen nothing more than a social media meme. Can I tell you the truth? I can generate about four memes an hour, more if I…See More

A Christmas Skit You Can Use...
I decided I needed a little something more for a Christmas program at church and I thought back to a script I wrote in 2001. At the time I was a church youth leader. Much is made of the fact that Mary the mother of Jesus was probably quite young, a teen, not much different than many of the students I was working with. Before long a strange idea hit me. If Mary and Joseph were in my youth group and told me the story of Mary being with child what would have my reaction been. What came out of that…See More

Okay, time for another confession. I would love to win the Powerball. I mean they regularly rack up prizes in the hundreds of millions of dollars and I could really use that kind of money. I could help a lot of people with a hundred million dollars. I also could make all my creative dreams come true. Yessiree I would love to hit the Powerball, but there's a problem.
I don't believe in gambling. I don't play the lottery as a matter of conscience and faith. You can disagree if you want…
