How sharing the gospel is not like MLM
Tonight I had a great conversation with J and a friend of J’s, who’s had some experience with MLM. Ironically, we talked a lot before the spiritual conversation about MLMs and ways that people make the sell, persuade, and the kind of rhetoric and language that gets used. The comparison was made, between how we use apologetics and evangelism like an MLM - after all, we are getting...

This is the year of the dragon
This year’s CNY was quick and fast-moving. Following the Christmas celebrations that seem like they were yesterday, this year’s CNY came on fast and furious. The tinsel and colorful trees quickly gave way to festive wire dragons and gordy decorations- decorations that were soothingly trite and tacky-familiar at the same time. With a flash of bright red firecrackers, angpaos, Mandarin...

Man, like the grass
Into the woods and o’er the hills The path rolls on and ever still Flanked thus by shrubs and gentle flow’rs I walked and walked and walked for hours. I recalled the Book says man, like grass Is here today, but will not last Beyond three score years and ten Before man is one with grass again. So walking on the wide, green earth Considering man’s little worth I asked the Maker,...

“To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here...”
– (Acts 26:22-23 ESV) Speaking before Agrippa, Paul lays down this powerful manifesto of his labors and the source of his power. He provides his summary of the Old Testament’s teaching: a robustly Christocentric, cruciform, evangelistic message. This is the powder keg of dynamic courage that...

“Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?”
– (Acts 26:8 ESV) The Jewish teaching on resurrection as a single key event in the future (namely, the resurrection of the living and the dead) is here deconstructed by Paul and used to point to the truth of Christ’s resurrection, as the inauguration of resurrection existence, or as N T Wright...

Trying to be faithful 2012
By God’s grace two things happened today that were exercises in being faithful: Firstly, there was an opportunity to show kindness and concern for a student with unusual difficulties. Despite the emotionally draining scenario and the awkwardness of the petition, a parent’s request, especially when the parent is at her wits’ end is always heartwrenching. But praise God that I was...
