Today is the time to live, love, laugh and praise God. Today is the day to leave a good memory, to say, "I love you," to forgive a wrong, to mend a broken relationship.

It is imperative to number our days and to live them with wisdom, understanding and purpose. This world seems impatient with time. The young can't wait to grow up. The young...

I had to say good-bye to one of my closest friends this week when I attended his funeral. The reason I bring this up is because my friend, Charlie, was an entertainer. Whether it was duct taping a pillow to his chest to sumo wrestle with my brother or just making some goofy, off-the-wall joke, Charlie was always making people around him laugh. And even in death, that fact didn't change. As one of Charlie's last requests, he asked that the Macarena be played at the end of his funeral. Although some might see this as...

I don't know how long it took Eugene Peterson to actually write his book "The Pastor_, but though he's written around thirty others, it took him almost eighty years to be able to write this one. An amazing book (Peterson doesn't write any other kind), what he says for pastors and churches (and Christ's church as a whole) has never been more important for us to hear. We live in a culture "uncongenial" not only to the vocation of pastors but to what is most truly important in the life of Christ's Body, the church. As Peterson...
