My desire as a Christian pastor is to see churches raised up as communities of grace ruled by Jesus and led by his gloriously masculine men who work their jobs, eat their meat, drink their beer, romance their wives, study their Bible, and raise their kids in glory and joy

Work like an Arminian, sleep like a Calvinist.

The church was custom built by Jesus, and we are all works in progress. We do not expect people to get their sin in order before attending church any more than a hospital expects people to get healed before they show up.

We need to pay attention to the questions non-Christians are asking, and the conversations that Christians are having.

The cross is the great jewel of the Christian faith and like every great jewel it has many precious facets that are each worthy of examining for their brilliance and beauty.

Faith is not just what we believe internally. It's how we behave externally.

The only thing worse than dying is living a boring life.
