10 Books for 2007
I’m little disappointed with myself that I still haven’t finished part deux of that Militancy of Worship post. But in the meantime, I’d like to celebrate two things with you. One. Twenty-four days into 2007, and I’ve still consumed zero drops of high-test coffee! I think my body is less mad at me now. In […]

Apocalyptic Stress Bag
I have been such a stress-bag the past week. Granted, an all-night lock-in with high schoolers meant that I worked more than double the amount of hours than usual, but still. I think it’s my inner-self that’s been stressed, not so much because of over-work, but because I’ve been talking about Jesus more than I’ve […]

Lurking Remixed
I know I am greatly digressing from more Militant subjects, but I’d like to turn the record around on the subject of lurking. My last post caused a scuffle of a few emails my way, with a few folk saying, “Hello! I’m not a lurker, but…” as if lurking is a bad-word. And then sweet […]

Lurkers of the World, Unite!
Word on the street (thanks, John!) is that this is “National De-Lurking Week.” Wikipedia calls a “lurker” one in internet culture who visits interactive systems, but rarely joins in. Is that you? Well, welcome! I’m sure you have a nice reason for not saying “hello” back. If you’ve been stopping by my blog, but rarely […]

Here Froggy, Froggy
We interrupt this conversation on spiritual warfare to report that the Nelly is still sick. But she will post Part 2 of “The Militancy of Worship” soon. Perhaps you could pray for her germs to fly, fly away. As my five-year old cousin, Annabelle, would say, “There’s a frog in my throat.”

The Militancy of Worship – Part 1
“Spiritual Warfare” has brought with it a great many tags and bags in our day. For most, Hollywood has dictated our viewpoint of the “war” through cinematic exorcisms and demonic games played through pitiful plot lines. The Scriptures speak of a vastly deeper scene: the kingdom of light at war with the kingdom of darkness. […]

Synchronize the Blog-Swatches
Tomorrow I’ll be participating in Pastor Phil’s 2nd wild “Synchro Blog.” (Definition: A group of folks who blog on one topic on the same day.) Tomorrow, a little over a dozen of us will be writing on some aspect of “Spiritual Warfare.” You’ll be able to read my thoughts, as well as the links to […]

Most Vivid Dreams – Part 2
I am a little sick and have been sleeping a lot. More sleep makes for more dreams, I say. In this second edition of my dream recollections you’ll find Bingo, structure, golf, and my not knowing how to do things appropriately. Again, any interpretations welcome! (You can find Part 1 here: Most Vivid Dreams.) I […]

Higher Grounds
I’m back in Smalltown, MD after my trip to Onething, and I’m taking fizzy Airborne tablets to fight the oncoming symptoms of flu-gunk. (The teacher-invented fizz of Echinacea and C tastes surprisingly nice.) And then I get this friendly email from Amazon telling me how I should get Len Sweet’s new book, The Gospel According […]

Like Children
[Jesus] called a little child and had him stand among them. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18 (NIV) (Little Nelly […]

Best of Onething
In brief, here are my top 6 moments from Onething 2006 at the International House of Prayer. 1. In the prayer room, watching a group of young adults pray for a girl with CP. And then rejoicing and crying as the crippled girl threw down her crutches and ran around for perhaps the first time […]

Onething or Nothing
I’m writing from Kansas City, at the International House of Prayer. Tomorrow I’m joining 10,000+ young adults for a three-day gathering of worship, prayer, and fasting to bring in the New Year. Onething is known for being a massive welcoming of the Holy Spirit. For me this is a time of re-focusing on the One. […]
