LOVE CONQUERS ALL
Love refuses to stop until It’s finished.
by Robert Loggins
During this COVID-19 season, God’s church is His divine instrument empowered to eradicate division in our nation. It is my prayer that God will send revival through the heart of His bride, the…

#ItSeemsToMe...
"God save everyone" is a well intended prayer that is guaranteed not to be answered.
This is how God loved the world - God gave his one-and-only (Jesus) to die for everyone. Anyone who believes will be saved.
My "God save everyone" prayer is a fine sentiment but unbiblical. It makes us…

Received this emessage from an international prayer champion:
"Thanking God for you and your leadership in prayer. I think it was at a prayer conference when you were leading a time of prayer and offhandedly mentioned how you prefer praying with others rather than alone. (I don't remember the exact wording!) God used that comment to expand my understanding of what it means to grow in…

I (Eddie) don’t like failure. Who does? Perhaps like me, you have had your share of failed attempts. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if God would give us a task, clearly laying out the steps to accomplish it, provide everything we need to complete it, and guarantee our success, where we…

#ItSeensToMe...if we evangelicals were pro-life-for-life, we would look for ways to empower/equip those who choose abortion for primarily economic reasons.
What could happen to the abortion stats if the Church became an advocate rather that an adversary to those trapped in systemic poverty?
#ProLife has to be more than a preaching point or a taking a political stand.
Consider the commentary of friend/colleague John H. Armstrong:
Abortion rates in America continue to…

WANTED: leaders with courage to #ReimagineCHURCH... because the world we share good news with is rethinking basic systems. Agree or disagree, the call to defund police is a sign we need systemic change. Church, hold truth but review/revise models/methods.…

#ItSeemsToMe…We May Talk Too Much When We Pray. Or Not Enough.
By Phil Miglioratti
As I was preparing for a week-long trip out of town, I peeked ahead on the daily cartoon calendar we have in our kitchen. On the back of each day’s cartoon is a riddle or a trivia item, and this is what grabbed my…

I confess, I’m a huge Beach Boys fan. Love their surf, sand, and streets songs. But alongside Little Deuce Coupe, Little Saint Nick has become a Christmastime favorite.
One of their more experimental songs also…

#ItSeemsToMe... it is way too easy for Christians to unintentionally offer prayers that are actually more Republican than righteous; sound more like a Democrat than a disciple. When our political preferences infect our intercessory petitions, we have shifted from empowering the Spirit to employing the Spirit. No one of us is immune from this politicized syncretism.…

WHY? #ReimaginePRAYER ...

- Because the Romans 12:2 command to "be transformed by the renewing of our mind" applies to not only to individuals but also to the corporate culture and systems of our ministries and churches.

I think five or six of us showed up that June 1990.
We placed our chairs in a small circle and introduced ourselves: “Hi, I’m Al from Palatine…I’m Joe from Arlington Heights…John from Lake Zurich…Gary from Schaumburg.” They had come to my office…

From our colleague at InterVarsity Press
My head is still a bit foggy from the weekend, with news, tweets and headlines ranging from peaceful protests and constructive dialogue to others of rioting, violence and deep misunderstanding. Even our little city in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, ran the emotional gamut yesterday with a…
