I believe the death of Osama bin Laden brings a righteous measure of comfort to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 because the mastermind who caused so much loss and pain and the face of global terror can no longer spread his evil.

There is a place in God’s ways for evil to be opposed with just force. But there is no place for American triumphalism. Our nation’s need for humility and repentance remains unchanged. Sacrificing our children’s lives on the altar of convenience, greed, injustice, pride, and moral perversion are constant reminders of our deep need of God.

Our greatest enemy is not a singular terrorist or Muslims in general, but our own rebellion and separation from God. Our greatest need is not more might or power, but humble dependence on the forgiveness of God for our sins. Our greatest challenge is not more faith in America’s greatness, but fearless courage to share the good news of God’s mercy revealed in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on our behalf.

Start with a small step, an expedition, and see where it leads….

Simple But Not Cheap

I believe being a disciple of Jesus is liberating. Not the cheap, easy kind of discipleship that offers lots of blessing with no sacrifice or accountability. I’m speaking about the simple-but-deep, lay-down-your-life kind of discipleship. Such discipleship is not for … Continue reading →

A prayer written by one of the students in CPx, our training program for leaders and church planters.

“I want my behaviour to be consistent;
I want my initiatives to be creative;
I want my teaching to be truthful.
I want my compassion to be real;
I want my heart to be tender;
I want my word to be reliable;
I want my gifts to be available;
I want my emotions to be stable;
I want my attitude to be suitable;
I want my life to be reproducible;
I want my work to be sustainable;
I want my deeds to be honourable;
I want more of You and less of me.”
