Why didn’t they stop? I wondered that years ago when my world crumbled like old Roman architecture. Business meetings continued; church continued; chores wouldn’t wait; and the world continued fast and furious, in a hurry, always late, and I wanted to throw up my hands and yell, “I”m in pain. [...]
I am a paid minister. Ever since I became an ordained minister back in February of 2002 most of my income has been supplied from a local church or parish. Getting paid to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a blessing and a privilege and something I certainly do [...]
Should a Christian watch a movie for entertainment purposes only? Or does a Christian need to question and critique every aspect of the movie thus taking away its entertainment value? I would suggest that movie watching for Christians should be both entertainment and critical interaction. It seems to me that [...]
It seems to me that nothing is inherently wrong with movies. Movies are a good medium to learn about history, literature, culture, science, etc. However, the movie ratings system would suggest that some (or most) movies contain some form of objectionable content. So begins the great debate – Is it [...]
When I first started reading Christ Among the Dragons: Finding Our Way Through Cultural Challenges (James Emery White, InterVarsity Press), I thought it was going to be some massive nay saying of modern church contextualization methods. Being familiar with detractors who have serious issues with most contemporary expressions of Christianity, [...]

Some guys just seem to get it. But let me back up a little bit first… When studying Bible history it doesn’t (or shouldn’t) take long to pick up on some cultural differences between the ancient Eastern culture of the Hebrews and the modern Western culture that we now live [...]

One of my favorite things to do is to check out Google Trends. It’s not only interesting to see what other people are searching, but sometimes this stuff actually gives me ideas on things to write! The amazing thing about tools like Google Trends (and Twitter’s trending topics) is that there [...]

Waking up this morning I couldn’t wait to get home! While I tried to enjoy my last few hours with the team, my mind was already wandering home. At breakfast we all talked about how wonderful this experience was, while I (as the team chaplain) challenged them to not let it [...]

Mission accomplished. Our work is done, and we now begin our journeys home. First the long drive across Uganda from Kasese to Kampala. Then after our last night our team flies together from Kampala to Nairobi to London where we part ways and I board my flight from London to [...]

Our last day of teaching ended up being one of the hardest days for me on this trip for several reasons. Some of it was related to the obvious realization that our time was nearly up on this incredible journey. While I was anxious to get home to my family, [...]

You’ve probably never heard of Rwesande. In fact, you won’t even find it on a Google Map. It’s in the area of Kasese up in the Rwenzori Mountains. Based on the roads that we took to get out there, I’m not surprised that I can’t find this place on a Google [...]
