• 10 Reasons Why Mission Matters in a Post Missional World

  

  Last week I was with persecuted Christians. A young mother was taken away in handcuffs and placed in leg shackles and put in a dingy wooden village jail, treated like a common criminal.

• Asians Shouldn’t Believe in Santa

  

  Holidays are much too over-rated in the West.  I think my disappointment began with Thanksgiving. In elementary school we traced turkeys with our hands, had mashed potatoes, gravy and cornbread in the cafeteria and learned about pilgrims on field trips – what better place to see pilgrims than the Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts.  All…
