When the Lord Passes By
Very rarely has a sitting American President made his way to Chattanooga. However, in the mid-eighties, Ronald Reagan came to speak honoring the high school graduates of that year. There was a buzz in the air that we have seldom experienced here. The entire city went to extreme efforts to prepare for his arrival. The route he would
Bono Church
I see a major shift in how my students see church and it isn’t in musical styles or starting little anti-church gatherings in homes. Those kind of “revolutions” might be the talk of aging and burned out boomers like George Barna but not my students. The revolution they seek has more to do with Bono than
The Missing Word in Our Culture
If you are like me, you are getting weary of stories about celebrities and sports figures. Many of these people have become embarrassments to our country, their community, their teams and their families.

"There is a lot of soft, sentimental talk about him today that brings no conviction. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he did not feel comfortable! Neither did Habakkuk nor Daniel nor Paul nor John. We want a picture of Him today that does not disturb us, that smiles at sin, and winks at iniquity. I remember a man who told me he wanted to hear no hell-fire sermons but rather about the meek and lowly Jesus. Yet the poor man did not seem to realize that the meek and lowly Jesus said more about hell than is reported from the lips of anyone else in the Bible!

It has seats for over 43,000 screaming football fans, and on this day, every seat was filled. But something wasn’t right at the first
