A few years ago, while on vacation, my husband and I visited a popular tourist attraction. Amongst the throng of happy visitors stood three scowling young men wearing sandwich boards. One of the boards read, “Repent.” I don’t remember what the other two said. One of the young men pounded [...]

outreach, the latest, worldviews 4 comments

Someone once advised me to ask questions when approaching an unbeliever. Soul Pancake gives Christians the chance to ask questions. I stumbled onto Soul Pancake via Facebook. It’s a strange name that causes cravings for Lone Spur’s short stack. Your questions won’t be shut down by the moderator, but as [...]
philippians 1:12-18a [the advance of the gospel]

bible literacy, the latest 11 comments

Read Philippians 1:12-18 (ESV, NIV, The Message) Paul was nothing if not focused, his field of vision bounded above and below, across and between by a landscape of always and only the Gospel. When Paul tested and probed the value of a thing, he seemed always to do so through [...]
who’s coming to dinner?

authentic christianity, the latest 14 comments

As a follow up to my last post (who attends your church?) we should also ask, ”Who is coming to dinner?” This question was asked to me. Why do we talk only about the church service and the attendance of people with “alternate” lifestyles? The church is made of people, not buildings [...]

My husband Rich and I exchanged apprehensive glances as we stood in line at the grocery store checkstand. Behind us, a man flung his order onto the conveyer belt: two rotisserie chickens, a basket of strawberries, a loaf of French bread, a large bottle of cheap wine. His brows met [...]

engaged in culture, ministry, the latest 1 comment

I don’t know what I expected when I volunteered to lead the discussion on chapter nine of our BibleDude group blogging project, but it wasn’t a discussion on religious freedom. With a title like Making Space For Everyone, I was thinking tolerance; I was thinking love (I like to talk [...]

engaged in culture, ministry, the latest 20 comments

I must confess to you a scandalous secret: I have an aversion to Evangelism. Oh, dear reader, please do not hate me! This distaste does not stem from a lack of love for my God – it’s just that my experience with evangelism has always been so – um, what’s [...]

[dillon burroughs] on using tracts in evangelism

author interview, engaged in culture, the latest 1 comment

Why don’t more people hand out tracts these days? After all, aren’t they the perfect little Gospel message in a short, easy to read, interesting format? Especially in our sound-bite culture, these straight-to-the-point presentations should have a big impact… right? So then why to they end up in the trash [...]
