It has been a joy to be … Continue reading Transitions, Good-Byes, and Until We Meet Again

After seeing the news of yet another mass shooting yesterday, at Seattle Pacific University, I felt that I … Continue reading Lord, Have Mercy on Us
A while back I was asked to think about evangelism in our present-day context. Friend and pastor Aaron Fuller pondered, “how do you get Mainliners to do it, particularly the older ones?” This is a great question.
