In HS my youth pastor abused a girl in my youth group. My dad (the lead pastor) found out. The YP was fired and reported to authorities. He lost his credentials and went to jail. That’s it. That’s the whole story. That’s how these stories should end. Coverups are not ok.

Jesus told her, “Go, close the tab you are using.” “I am using no tabs,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you are using no tabs. The fact is, you have had 56 tabs open, and the one you now have open you are not using.”

My wife suffered a miscarriage with what would have been our second child. A month later she was diagnosed with cancer driven by estrogen. As BADLY as we want to, we cannot have any more children. But she builds the kingdom every day. You can keep your culture war.

Moses was disqualified from leading the people into the promised land. David was disqualified from building the Temple. They were repentant and forgiven. But past actions disqualified them from aspects of leadership. God doesn’t throw us away, but choices have consequences.

I once did a sermon about mutual submission in marriage. I referenced abuse of power and how not using our strength to rule over others is the Christlike way to love. Two men in the congregation set up meetings to chastise me. Both of their wives had written to thank me.

One thing I absolutely cannot stand, is when “intellectuals” talk in confusing ways, and then lambast others for not getting it. That doesn’t make you smart, it makes you a jerk. You want to be smart? Make it plain. Big words and nonsense phrases do not a philosopher make.

My dad used to tell me “When your shoot at the crows, you almost always hit a dove, and the crows don’t care.” It reminds me to be careful of how I lob criticisms. Because the people I want to hear them aren’t listening. And often an innocent gets hit as collateral damage.

The more I study Christlike leadership I’m more convinced that many Christian leaders don't understand it and don't practice it. Service has been replaced by status. Power, position, and prestige have seduced us. The basin and towel have been replaced by a boardroom table.

In 1784 Wesley removed “to obey” from the wedding vowels. In 1786 John Wesley preached that the idea that “women are only to be seen but not heard’” makes women think “they were only designed for agreeable playthings!” And “it is the deepest unkindness; it is horrid cruelty;”

I've at times struggled with the "quietness" of God in my life. I told this to an elderly man who was my mentor. He whispered his answer to me. I couldn't hear so I moved in closer. And again. Yet again. Finally, I heard, "Sometimes the whisper brings you closer than a yell."

So I'm told there is a "singleness is sinful" conversation going on. And now I see why so many Theobros got mad at my singleness post. It's because the idea of a single woman who is happy either terrifies or infuriates them so much that they have to make up sins for it.

A pastor calling for violence over Covid restrictions is antichrist. It's blasphemous. It's idolatry. It's a wolf pretending to be a shepherd. It's illegal, immoral, illogical, unethical, unbiblical hogwash. If anyone in his church had a sense of the Spirit they would leave.

My dad used to say “when you shoot at the crows, you always hit a dove, and the crows don’t care.” There is a place for critique, but be careful in your anger, your words don’t wound innocents, who are often already wounded. While those you want to hear you, go on oblivious.

I am finding more and more the Christian life is less about intensity and more about consistency. It’s the small steps, during the small moments, in the daily life. Doing the right things, the right way, for the right reasons. And then doing them again.

I am cleansing my timeline of anyone who simply wants to insult what is going on at Asbury. I have numerous friends who are participating and observing that I trust who have experienced some WONDERFUL things! Praising God and hoping it is a life changing-heart transforming time!
