Proverbs tells us, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” This verse reminds me of the capacity within for self-deception. I’m quite regularly shocked at how I can convince myself something that is horribly destructive might actually work out to my benefit. This is [...]

I read this article the other day in Time Magazine. Still not sure what I think, so I thought I would get your opinion. The author is basically saying that it’s inevitable for computers to eventually take over civilization. Here’s a portion of what he had to say: Computers are getting faster. Everybody knows that.

My last 3 weeks of traveling and speaking have been crazy. This has meant I’ve spent most of my time communicating with Brandi via text messages when time would allow.

One of the biggest surprises looking back on the trip was the openness of the Indian people to the message of the Gospel. While this was my third [...]

I’m on my way back from India today but wanted to share an awesome video we did this past Sunday at Cross Point. We’re doing a two week series entitled “Imagine.” While this video is a little longer than what I would normally post, it gives you a better idea of the redemptive work God [...]

There are some 11 million abandoned kids roaming the streets of India. I’ve been aware of this statistic for a while, but nothing prepares you for meeting it face to face. This is Puja Ghosh. I took this picture of her last year when she had just turned five. I had the amazing opportunity to [...]

Last year I introduced you to a little guy who had a huge impact on me. I wrote about him HERE. You may think I’m crazy but I think this little dude is not only going to change this slum with the hope of Christ but he may be the biggest thing to hit Kolkata [...]

One of the highlights of my time in India has been getting to share this time with my friend Andy. This is his first mission trip and I love experiencing it through his eyes. I asked him to share his thoughts on the trip. Meet Andy. He’s hilarious. This is the first time I’ve ever [...]
