I actually knew better, but I did it anyway. A few weeks ago now, I lost my cool.  It was political.  It was current events commentary from a political point of view that smacked of the ridiculous to me.  Made me grumpy.  Made me feisty.  Made me mad.  But that’s all just details.  The point [...]

Christian hair has taken on new meaning. What follows is an honest, amused ramble through a minefield of questions I have about the current state of worship leading and those who lead worship in our contemporary Christian churches in America.  For full disclosure:  I am one. I actually grew up using the term “Christian hair” [...]

On Sunday, January 10, 2010, I spoke at Living Hope Church in St. Michael-Albertville, MN. This is the story of David, the King of Israel, dancing with joy before the Lord as the Ark of the Covenant is being brought back into Jerusalem.  A story about God’s unchanging character, the power of His presence, and [...]

Our worship ministry team at Living Hope Church is AWESOME. Now, don’t misread my enthusiasm for pride.  We’re not the most gifted musicians, and we are certainly not mighty in number or prolific as songwriters, influencing the global Church for Jesus.  There are better sounding teams, bigger teams, better-known teams.  But you’d be hard pressed [...]

  My first word was “Volkswagen.”  I know, for most people, that glorious honor is bestowed upon “Momma,” or the occasional lucky “Dadda.”  Sorry mom and pop.  From what I’ve been told, from age one on up, I could point out a “Doot-a-dane” from miles away.  I’m quite certain that if I didn’t have five boys [...]
