A Prayer of Walter Rauschenbusch
Posted: 13th March 2008 by Chris in Prayers, Spirituality, TheologyWalter Rauschenbusch was a theologian and baptist minister. His theology, specifically around the subjects of biblical literalism and atonement, have always concerned some folks and have been held in question by many. Whose theology isn’t in in question by someone somewhere?
Never-the-less, Rauschenbusch is most remembered for his outspokenness against a word-based sharing of [...]
I have always wanted to learn another language. I have played around with French and Spanish, never sticking to either one of them, so I know enough to sound stupid. I also learned a few cuss words in German from my old man too. Now (starting tomorrow night), however, I am beginning [...]
On Monday and Tuesday of this past week I was in Boise, ID. Mike and I were meeting with Allelon and also with Mike Kipp from NNU. Great times…
While in Boise I met a new friend named Rickard. Rickard serves on the research team of Allelon and also cooperates with God and [...]

One of the things I enjoy most about working amidst the YouthFront community is the daily rhythm [...]
I was tagged by my good friend Doug Jones nearly a week ago. Sorry I am just now getting to it…
As with most tags, here are the rules:
1. Apologize for three things that Christians have often got wrong. Your apologies should be directed towards those who don’t view themselves as part of the Christian [...]
Via Crucis-The Way (or Stations) of the Cross
Posted: 4th June 2007 by Chris in Prayers, Spirituality, Trips, Youth MinistryI wandered through a very artistic expression of the Stations of the Cross on a mountainside in Radium, British Columbia, Canada a few days ago. The bronze depictions of Jesus’ journey to death and his glorious resurrection were a great reminder of his love and sacrifice for me — for us.
The Stations of the [...]
In a few weeks I am speaking at a youth event on the subject of prayer. I have taught on prayer a number of times over the years, of course — most youth pastors do at some point.
Lately, in preparation for my talk, I have been reading some books on the subject. I [...]
