“Perhaps the single greatest threat is not the rise of secularism or the emptying of churches, but the apathy and indifference of the churches that are still here.”
I have been using Micro Social since it came out. For those of using Micro.blog it is an amazing little app. If you have not started using it, I encourage you to give it a try!

Diving into some texts on power this week. Starting with this one and going from there.
My Own Heart's Question - Would I Take Jesus at His Word?
Do you trust anyone?
It’s a hard question to answer, isn’t it?
We live in a culture of radical mistrust. How do we know what is real and what is fake? Is it even possible to know the answer to that any longer?
Every day it seems like I see something on the Internet and think, “Man, that is so cool. I wonder if it’s real?”
This is so on point and true.
You know what I think is weird? That people will condemn you for not keeping up with the news while they think nothing about ignoring philosophy, literature, theology, cultural criticism, history. You will be at the mercy of spinmeisters if you lack a worldview that structures the news.
A good reminder for me (and mybe you) on social media:
“Never argue with an idiot; they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” - Mark Twain
Often, more times than not, I am the idiot.
Today begins Lent, a time of preparation for the celebration of Easter. During Lent we experience the full swing of emotion from the celebration of Christ’s triumphal entry to the heartbreak of the crucifixion.
I pray we will fully enter into it.

The #OldGal scores a par today. I am glad to see at least one 3 from the #YoungPups out here already!
I am really looking forward to getting away for a few days to watch our son play baseball and also have plenty of margin to read.
Can't Get No Satisfaction? Look Deeper.
Jesus in Conversation
It often strikes me that the saying “there’s nothing new under the sun” rings true. We might pay lip service to the idea, but sometimes, it hits us with surprising force.
Today, I’m grappling with the question: “Where do I find my satisfaction?”
My message from Sunday on Micah 3-5.
