We’re Taking a Break Around Here

Sara and I leave tomorrow for a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. We’re doing this a bit early. Our anniversary date isn’t until May, but Sara’s schedule is really crazy then as the school year winds down. So, certain that we’re going to stay married until May, we’re taking advantage of [...]

It’s Never Too Late—Even at 91!

This is the other letter I told you about yesterday. If you didn’t read that one you might check out A Daughter Finds Her Way Home, This one I received from a brother in Texas:
I wanted to let you in on a neat experience that was precipitated by your [...]

A Daughter Finds Her Way Home

Every now and then I get a letter that just blows me away. I received two such letters this weekend and want to share them both with you—one today and one tomorrow. While I’m grateful God used something I wrote as a tool in someone’s life, I know well that the kind of [...]

The Failure Rate of Abstinence

A new issue of BodyLife, is up on the Lifestream website. This one has to do with sexual freedom in the midst of a sexually obsessed culture.

One-Way and Two-Way Relationships

Continuing with our weekly theme of Q and A, here’s another bit of dialogue with a brother concerned about relationships:
I have made a good friend over the past few months. He likes history so we have a lot in common. He has been coming over to our house on game nights and [...]

(which is very well done) just trying to learn what Lifestream is about, your passion, mission, goals, etc. [...]

Where Are You On the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

This seems to be question week. I’ve got to others that I’ll include over the next cvouple of days. Here’s one that I got this weekend:
I have been plowing through your SuperDisc and enjoying it tremendously. Such good info! It is slowly filling in the cracks in my Christian [...]

Merchandise and Ministry—Are They Mutually Exclusive?

Can I sell books and CDs without selling-out God’s life in me? I get this question about every month or two, so I thought I’d let you look over my shoulder again at a recent exchange I had with a brother I don’ know. I appreciated the gentleness and openness of his heart [...]

Finding Fellowship

In February I posted a link to an article called Ten Myths of Church Leavers. Debbie responded to that post with the following concern and I think there are many more who share her concern.
My in laws left the church years ago, and are perfectly content with that. There is no [...]
