Following Jesus is not a Buffet
What do Indian food and Syrian refugees have in common? I’ll tell you. I (mostly) love Indian food. There’s this buffet in Canton that I go to once in a while, and it’s the perfect way to eat Indian food. I can take as much chicken curry as I want, and walk right by the…
Jesus Is: Light
Our summer teaching series at FCC is a 10-week study through the book of John. I had the privilege to speak last weekend about light and darkness. Here’s the video:
Why “Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin” Isn’t Working
The past few days have made me sad. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, comment threads on news articles, conversations outside Starbucks…everywhere I look, everywhere I am, I hear anger. Hatred.

There’s a big fad going around right now, that started in the “cool, rad, hipster church” scene that God doesn’t want you to be religious.
Verb
Do you really love someone? Let’s see how you act toward that person. We’ve all heard someone say “Love is an action” or “Love is a verb.” This is nothing new. Love is more than emotion. It’s more than attraction. It’s more than arousal. It’s more than sentiment. It’s more than a song on the…
Firework
What a great reminder that every person on this planet has talent and potential if only someone provides them with the opportunity and loves and believes in them enough to help them reach it. Jodi is an inspiration to all of us to work hard to accomplish our goals and not settle for “just ok.” This…
