As Christians, whether we be conservative or liberal, we should have enough faith in the mysterious work of the Holy Spirit to know that every new experience, discovery and life event brings about greater revelation and understanding of the Divine. Christian faith is never stagnant but transforming and evolving.

The United Nations predicts that by 2050, 64 percent of the developed world will be urban. People everywhere need to be reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ. But to reach the most people, we have to be where most of the people are — and that is in large cities.

Whether or not a ministry works for everyone or forever is not the point because nothing we do ever will. We can’t control whether or not a new initiative for children’s ministry or evangelism or youth outreach or worship will ultimately “succeed.” But what we can do is have integrity in our calling.

There comes a moment in certain yoga poses, which I don’t reach very often, where one’s rootedness to the earth becomes a reality and balance is achieved. That place, at least in my experience, can only be found after I have traveled through the painful places of imbalance, instability and awkwardness.

Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I re-read King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Every so often I need to be reminded of deep truths so eloquently and timelessly expressed. King championed the cause of equality in his letter, but he also the cause of the church in which he expressed disappointment.

One trait that seems to be ever-present in thriving congregations but largely absent in dying congregations is energy, or passion. High levels of energy and passion for the gospel mark congregations who have been seized by the enormity of their mission and have given themselves fully to it.

John Houghton encouraged diversity of thought and lively dialogue within the community of faith. As a result, we learned to think more deeply and consider things more broadly. John let us know that it was all right to be the devil’s advocate without worrying about going to the devil.

During a recent mission trip to Panama, religious order turned into a ballet of chaos and pandemonium. The sanctuary slowly turned into a volleyball court, a soccer field, a football field, a space for arts and crafts and a place to sit back and watch it all take place.
