  • The Dangerous Idol You May Accidentally Be Worshiping
    Posted on Saturday, September 1st, 2018 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Christian missionaries and danger, ebola, God's Own Fool, hard conversations of the Christian faith, idolatry, martyrdom, why follow Jesus into danger, why risk your life for Jesus

    Sometimes I wonder why God doesn’t just neatly bubble-wrap His followers. Have you asked that question? (Okay, maybe not that question, but something like it.) Idols are sly and slippery things that surreptitiously supplant our Savior from His station in our soul’s sight. If we aren’t watchful, we can find ourselves in a dark place because …[ read more ]

    Posted on Tuesday, September 1st, 2015 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: cowardice, cowardice is a sin, fear, fretting, Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah, Kentucky clerk, Kim Davis, martyrdom, persecution, Psalm 37, standing for Jesus

    We think we can be prepare for everything. We can. Just, not the way we think. Soldiers in boot camp ask veterans to tell them what it’s like to be at war. They never get enough of battle stories but old soldiers give their stories up sparingly. In boot camp, we think knowing what’s ahead …[ read more ]

  • Holy Failure – and what happens next . . .
    Posted on Wednesday, August 12th, 2015 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Batman, early church, filled with the Holy Spirit, martyrdom, persecution, Princess Bride, Stoning of Stephen, success

    I have this idea that if I’m filled with the Holy Spirit, whatever task I’m about will not only succeed, it will succeed beyond all expectations. This is true and yet, it’s not. Sometimes, my expectations are built on false foundations. My idea of success and God’s are at odds on every day of the …[ read more ]

  • They’ll Be Dead by Morning (What Difference Will it Make?)

    **Warning: This post may make you feel bad. **Warning: That feeling may be appropriate. There are moments in life that feel like a swift slap in the face. No one courts that.

    Lori, Our Lord never ceases to amaze.. you have succeeded in disturbing this Hobbit! I have been struggling with spiritual apathy and indifference recently and reading your witty, convicting, engaging, infuriating writings has helped me to realize that I am in good company. They have also given me the kick-start I need to get off my laurels! Keep looking up..keep going on for the Lord dear sister-in-Christ!
