Why is it that when we go on retreats it is always to rural areas? We always go out into the country to meet and hear from God, but why don’t we ever retreat in urban contexts? Can’t we also take time to intentionally dwell in the city to hear God? Does God only speakContinue reading “Urban Retreat Center…”

Born Again or Entering the Kingdom of God???
Did you know that Jesus only talks about being born again one time, and it is to one specific person (Nicodemus) and only found in the Gospel of John. On the other hand Jesus talks about the Kingdom of God countless times throughout the gospels (mostly Kingdom of Heaven in the Gospel of Matthew becauseContinue reading “Born Again or Entering the Kingdom of God???”
Unleashed…
Most churches seem to have their members on a short leash. Think about it, while most churches “teach” that the members need to go out and witness to others, they have everyone shackled and busy inside the church. Who are considered the most faithful people in the church? Usually they are the ones who commitContinue reading “Unleashed…”
Micah 5:2 “A Foreshadow Of Things To Come”
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.” Who might this One be who is prophesied about here in Micah to be born in littleContinue reading “Micah 5:2 “A Foreshadow Of Things To Come””

I cannot allow the world to corrupt me from living in righteousness and drawing me away from having a cleanContinue reading “The Christian Bubble”
Theological Monopoly: The Tight Grip of White Theologians
When I vacation with my family it is not strange for us to pick one day and play board games. After much convincing to plunge into a long game, we often whip out an old favorite… Monopoly. You know the deal, each player is trying to “monopolize” the whole board, until eventually everyone has foldedContinue reading “Theological Monopoly: The Tight Grip of White Theologians”
We Had Some Church Today
I can remember time after time leaving the church service on Sunday, hearing one of the older saints in the church yell out that “we really had some church today”, or actually “chuch” would be the more accurate vernacular. Typically that meant that when the believers had gathered together, everything was right on point. WorshipContinue reading “We Had Some Church Today”
Tom Skinner
I tend to have very different views than most black and white Christians I encounter or read. Few people embody much of my values, worldview, and beliefs as did Tom Skinner. He was a courageous evangelist who dared to both proclaim the good news and challenge injustice, of which he saw as inherently intertwined. WhileContinue reading “Tom Skinner”
Interviewed by J.R. Briggs
I had the privilige of being interviewed by J.R. Briggs (author, blogger, and pastor) on the subject of race. He is a good dude and it has been a pleasure connecting with him recently. He asked me lively and curious questions that delve into theological, ecclesiological, and sociological arenas. I invite my readers to jumpContinue reading “Interviewed by J.R. Briggs”
