I love to express what I feel called to say. Writing helps me to open up my heart and do that. I hope that what I write helps you in some way. I hope it makes you think, encourages you, or inspires you. If it challenges you or if you disagree, I hope you know that I respect your right to have a different point of view.
People say: "All lives matter!" But the mean things that we humans say and do make me think that we don't really mean it.
Political hatred, anger, and violence is evil! People who have been tried and convicted by a jury of their peers for engaging in political violence shouldn't be pardoned.
For people who truly love Jesus, all lives really do matter. When I talk about Jesus I'm not talking about an arrogant hard right Jesus, or an all approving far left Jesus. I'm talking about the risen Jesus who commands us to love one another and even to love our enemies!
I believe that: Palestinian lives matter. Jewish lives matter. Muslim lives matter. Christian lives matter. Pagan lives matter. Athiest lives matter. Black lives matter. White lives matter. Soldier lives matter. Civilian lives matter. Friends' lives matter. Enemies' lives matter. Ukrainian lives matter. Russian lives matter. Conservative lives matter. Liberal lives matter. Rich lives matter. Poor lives matter. European lives matter. Asian lives matter. African lives matter. North and South American lives matter. And your life matters!
I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia."
