I STILL Have a Dream.
Posted by MK | Filed under Uncategorized
On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech from the steps of Lincoln Memorial, capping a historic March on Washington: It’s a dream that has not yet been realized. Not even close. But it’s a dream that must be, for as Paul pointed out in the book [...]

Today is Veteran’s Day. Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because [...]

I know I’m one of only about 47 people who watches every game of the World Series. That’s okay. But last night’s game was great. Great defense. Low scoring. Won in the 9th inning. While it was good, it wasn’t one of those sports moments that I’ll tell my kids about (if indeed they care [...]
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: The Rest of the Story
Posted by MK | Filed under Uncategorized
Three men. One enormous statue, matched only by the enormous ego of a king. One fiery furnace, and a miraculous deliverance. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is the stuff of legends. As you scroll through this often recounted story, there are several lines of Scripture that jump out at you: “People of every [...]
John Stott (1921-2011)
Posted by MK | Filed under Uncategorized
When I was 19 years old, a good friend gave me a copy of a little book called Basic Christianity by John R.W. Stott that changed my life. Suddenly, all these “basic” doctrines of Christianity were expressed in a logical, though-provoking way. I remember being challenged not only to own what I believed, but also [...]

Dear Little Girl: You are four years old now. That’s hard for me to believe, but time marches on. Today I will get to see the same thing that has never failed to brighten my day and make my heart feel so full: your beautiful smile and your happy giggle. I admit, Andi, it’s been [...]

News flash – gas is expensive. Maybe you’ve noticed. As I filled up our car this week and watched the dollar amount dramatically outpace the number of gallons, I spent some time reflecting on how I might otherwise be spending the money it took. I could… … go to 8 movies. … take my wife [...]

A Few Reflections from Passion 2011
Posted by MK | Filed under Uncategorized
Over the past few days, I had the privilege of serving at Passion 2011. Jana and I joined approximately 22,000 college students to lift up the name of Jesus in Atlanta, GA. I led a group of 600 great people in a time of Bible study and small group discussion each morning and each evening [...]
What Did Jesus Look Like?
Posted by MK | Filed under Uncategorized
I found this to be an interesting post from Justin Taylor. He acknowledges that the answer is “we don’t know,” but goes on with some interesting possibilities: We do know that Jesus was probably in his early 30s when he began his ministry and would not have had long hair. It’s fair to assume that [...]
