Same-Sex Marriages Repealed in Maine
Image from politicsdaily.com Last night, Maine became the 31st out of 31 states to vote down same-sex marriage. On the other hand, six states have legislated (forced?) same-sex marriage on its constituents through the judicial branch or the legislative branch. Maine’s repeal brings the total number of states that have le

Compassionate Moment
Jimmy Wambua meets Mark, his Compassion International sponsor for the first time. You will cry! But is it an ethical use of people’s emotions? My own reflections after the video (the real action begins at about 3:45 in the video). Well, what did you think? Very touching story, right? But was it marred by the conclusion? Is this manipulation or persuasion? Get people to give in the height of their emotional response? Is that okay? How can you go from a beautiful story of compassion to saying, “This isn’t a commercial, this is real!” and then asking people to support a particular ministry with a specific am

The Call to Follow Jesus
I think a question church leaders need to be asking is, “What aspects of Jesus’ relationship with His twelve closest disciples were meant to be universal to all of Jesus’ disciples?” We know that some things are probably going to be a bit different two thousand years later in our modern society. Most of us aren’t going to be asked to abandon our businesses, leave our families for months and even years on end to travel the dusty countryside and not know from one night to the next if we are going to be sleeping in a random person’s home or sleeping outside with a rock for a pillow. On the other hand, in many of our churches today, the m

Spiritual Discipline
Spiritual discipline doesn’t sound very exciting. Many Christians shy away from the disciplines because it sounds like work at best and legalism at worst. However, spiritual discipline is simply a name for the spiritual habits that a true follower of Jesus forms as he or she becomes more like Him. We want to follow Jesus and we know that He meditated on Scripture, spent time in prayer, and shared the Gospel with others, j
