It only took me nine years to jump in, but jump I did; I officially joined Facebook. I like it! Now, I’m not one of the 48 percent that Joel mentioned this weekend who check their Facebook before doing anything else when they wake up each morning, but by noon I’m pretty much in the know. I...

God, whose creative genius is unending, must (and I find this ironic) love routine. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that He delights in each sunrise the way a young child delights in an endless game of peek-a-boo. God even has put emerging patterns to the supposed chaos of the tiniest...

Palm Sunday, in the foyer at Northland as the children were lining up with their Palm branches to parade through the sanctuary (reminiscent of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem 2,000 years ago), a woman walked through the church’s front doors looking as though she was carrying the weight...

Most wives I know could hardly care more or do more than they already do. So while I seldom question a Christian wife’s heart motive, I have begun to question a particular expression I’m hearing a lot these days. “Man up” apparently has become a politically correct way for a wife to tell a...
