I saw this video recently and it mesmerized me. It’s an incredibly simple video but I needed to watch it several times to better understand and interpret it.
But it brought me back to the question,
The Scriptures are clear and Jesus is clear that we are to forgive our enemies…
Everyone needs to read this.
Every Christian needs to read this. Every Christian, pastor, leader, community organizer, and influencer needs to read this.
Whatever tribe, denomination, or team your roll with; whatever term or word you’re comfortable with; small church or mega church; organic or online; reformed or monastic; conservative or liberal…blah blah blah. You need to read this.
Because many of us think that God was addressing someone else when we read or preach Amos 5:21-24. You know…the other person, group, team, church; That other misguided and self-righteous quasi-Christian, borderline heretic, and religious legalist; the other person on the fence on that hot theological issue; the other liberal or conservatives; that feminist or ultimate fighting Jesus lover, and on and on.

Vincent Chin is no American Idol but he is someone that every American needs to know but unfortunately, hardly anyone will remember or know – even during this week as we mark the “anniversary” of his brutal beating and subsequent death on June 23, 1982. It’s important to remember because how we recall the past can be so important as it informs our future. If you haven’t heard, the world is changing and that includes the country that I call home – the United States. And in a society where Diversity is the New Normal and an increase in tension with Immigration and Xenophobia issues, it’s that much more important for people to know about Vincent Chin.
Vincent Chin was a 27-year-old Chinese-American raised in Metro Detroit. A week before his wedding, Continue reading “why everyone needs to know vincent chin”
Alright, let’s get our sports talk going on. I’m hosting a debate about the Top 10 greatest basketball players in history and where Kobe Bryant and Lebron James fit on that list. Despite recent comments from Scottie Pippen that Lebron James might surpass MJ as the greatest player, there will never be another MJ.
Kobe and Lebron are both phenomenal players. I’m a fan of Kobe and think he’s an incredible player. He should be proud of his 5 NBA titles but there is no comparison between MJ and Kobe. Two years ago, he wasn’t in my list of Top 10 but Kobe’s 4th and 5th NBA title seal his place amongst the Top 10 greatest players of all time. As for Lebron, let’s wait till he wins couple championships. We all know he’ll easily be amongst the Top 10 players and likely in the Top 5. But let’s wait…
What do you think?
Who would you add?
Who would you remove?
Where would you place Kobe or Lebron (eventually) on that list? Continue reading “the top 10 basketball players of all time”
I have often heard and read the phrase:
And while that may be true, it sums up for me one of the greatest examples of our human depravity.
Freedom.
Freedom is created by God.
Freedom is one of the greatest gifts God has given unto His creation.
But because of sin, rebellion, and human depravity –
is no longer free for all as God desired.
On this memorial day, I express my gratitude Continue reading “freedom is [not] free”
