A thought inspired by my friend and Pastor Curtis Zackery (pictured).
Most people know that the Gospel writer Luke was a Greek citizen and a doctor by trade. But it’s a little less known factoid that the Book of Luke (the Gospel) and the Book of Acts were actually written by Luke as a 2 volume historical treatment to document the birth of Christianity and the manifestation of God to the world. I believe Luke realized [Read More...]
He likes to be called "King James," playing off the namesake of the King James Bible. When he answers his phone he refers to himself as "The King." He embraces his nickname as "The Chosen One." He encourages his fans to "Witness" his greatness. He posed for the photo you see to the left and approved … [Read More...]

I watched the President's Memorial Day speech today, and though I sincerely like the man, I've got to call him out. As one born in the 60's, I first became aware of the global community of humanity at the peak of the Civil Rights movement, in the thick of the Vietnam War. I was a Navy brat in CoaCoa … [Read More...]
God spoke to me Sunday.... multiple times... so I have a beautiful story to share. It was as if I was seeing several fibers weaving together into the thread of my life, and in turn woven into the full fabric of His ongoing narrative. I hope my story speaks to you... on many levels... through numerous … [Read More...]
I have long been an admirer of Gandhi the man, though when I was still an atheist (nearly 20 years ago) I thought very little of him. Being a fairly contemporary foreign figure, he wasn't presented in American history books when I was a kid, and with only ETV to provide educational programming students … [Read More...]
I hadn't spoken with my childhood friend Rick Ruonala since high school, so learning of his own transformation into a true disciple of Christ was a wonderful encouragement to me. He was a couple years ahead of me in school, so I always looked up to him, especially since his younger brother Ray was one … [Read More...]
This is an especially interesting dialogue... I like Ricky Gervais's work as an actor and comic... but to hear him say "we can't change what we believe" as his ultimate defense for his inability to reconsider his atheism is about as ignorant a statement as I've ever heard from a "smart" guy. You crack … [Read More...]
It's the first day of 2011... another New Year, yet not just another year. The fact that it will mark the 10 year anniversary of the horrors of 9-11 should stand as a sign to that fact, as surely few feel a decade has passed since 2001. Personally, it has occurred to me that the 1st year of each decade … [Read More...]

Papa Joe Bradford and his wife Denise lead volunteers from several churches in the Nashville area to love on the least of those who live in the projects, and we joined them to show that people are finding ways to sacrifice a few hours of comfort on a frigid winter day to seek Jesus wherever he can be … [Read More...]
