Red Letters

We don’t want our Christian life to be a ritual, a chore, or a duty. And certainly we would not want love to become a chore–like making your bed or brushing your teeth. Or do we? This weekend, Sam Bradford made his NFL debut for the St. Louis Rams. This young rookie has a lot…

One of my favorite authors in the world was a man named F. W. Boreham. I’ve often described him as an “artist with words.” Here are a few inspiring quotes and stories that come from the 55 books he wrote. There is a blog dedicated to his life and writing you can find here. Enjoy! The charm and value…

Here’s your chance to be involved on Orphan’s Sunday! CHRISTIANS MAKE ADOPTION & ORPHAN CARE DEFINING ISSUE FOR 2010   From Christianity Today <http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2010/july/11.23.html>  to Catalyst <http://www.catalystspace.com/content/read/june10_love_for_orphans_transforms/> , the biblical call to “defend the cause of the fatherless” (Isaiah 1:17) is on hearts and minds of Christians in a way not seen in generations.  Even…

Jesus commands us to live as love–to be “living love.” Love that breathes, walks, talks, and acts. And Jesus speaks of a particular kind of love. A love that is exhausts “self” for the betterment of “others.” I love that is poured out to God as a complete offering. If we accept that this is…

Today I was going to continue exploring the “how to” of the love we see in Jesus’ Gospels. But instead I want to pause and re-center. To do that, I want to post the introduction to my book Red Letters: Living a Faith that Bleeds. My blog takes its title from the book, and both…

There’s a great Subaru ad campaign right now with the slogan, Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.  Click the ad to see all the awesome stuff you can do with a Subaru. I am one of the many Coloradans who owns a Subaru. Whether they are made with love is debatable, but the…

The Times in the UK posted an excellent article that merits much thought regarding some of our recent conversation about Jesus Christ and the Bible. I’m thankful for all of you who are atheists or agnostics and have chosen to engage in thoughtful matters of faith. This article is fascinating to me because although the author is…

A short post today as I am out the door very early on a trip. I just wanted to make some quick observations and comments and suggestions: 1. The posts criticizing Christianity and have drawn nearly 10 times the comments and a lot more traffic than the ones praising it. Same with the response to…

Two words: Red Letters. In older versions of the Bible it was customary for the publisher to offset the words of Christ in a red font. This way, the reader could easily see the recorded words of Jesus. Upon reading Christ’s words, many walk away with the idea that Jesus is a great moral teacher…

Frank Schaeffer doesn’t think so. I must say, I was disturbed when I read this article in the Huffington post. Frank’s father, Francis Schaeffer, was one of the great theologians I grew up reading and wrote books such as: The God Who Is There and How Should We Then LIve?  Frank is directly contradicting any authority the Bible…
