I was reading the Bible this morning in the book of Mark doing my One Sentence Bible (I always read ahead of what I post on the blog) and I came across the following: “And if you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that God in Heaven may forgive you your sins.” [...]

What is My One Sentence Bible? 8-31-10: Prayer is difficult and tiring. There’s no way around it. Matthew 26:40-45 Those whose work is of peaceful reconciliation will be opposed by mobs circling them with weapons.

Last week the 700 Club aired a segment about the work of The Marin Foundation. We have gotten quite a response – both positive and negative; and so has the 700 Club (I just got an email from them which said that this video is one of their most watched videos ever – and with [...]

What is My One Sentence Bible? 8-25-10: Running away from what you fear the most always ends in death. Matthew 24:9-13 The Lord doesn’t expect a quick return on investment. Why, then, is that how Christians treat ‘evangelism’? Matthew 25:19 Even the mundane tasks occurring throughout all of our existence are an opportunity to prove [...]

I just posted the interview on a conservative Christian radio program in which, let’s just say, they didn’t appreciate my approach. Since that interview yesterday I’ve gotten quite a few emails/Facebooks/etc from people asking me why I would keep doing this work and continue to get pounded on by both communities? Here are two quick answers [...]
