Ideation: Beyond Aware
11 Jan 2010As many of you know, today is Nationl Human Trafficking Awareness Day. I am very proud that our government is finally giving voice to such an alarming epidemic. Human trafficking is certainly something that we need to be aware of. That said, about a week ago my friend Charles Lee wrote a post on his [...]
Loving the Disconnected
11 Oct 2009I had the pleasure of hooking up with Craig Gross and Jason Harper while they were in Detroit today for a Jesus Loves You tour stop. Today’s event was in the city at Citadel of Faith Covenant Church Pastored by Harvey Carey. It was great worshiping with the people at Citadel and seeing first hand [...]
Compassion: One Quarter at a Time
10 Oct 2009If you’ve been reading by blog, you know that I’m fascinated by groups that demonstrate compassion in action. Let’s be honest: most of us talk a good game about compassionate ministries, but very few are actually doing the hard work of serivce. Sometimes we’re not doing the work for what may seem like legitimate reasons. [...]

Sometimes It’s the Simple Things
4 Oct 2009Someone I went to high school with had this clip on his Facebook wall. I was really struck by it because it was so simple. It’s amazing what some old junk, a little elbow grease, and good intentions can do to build relationships and impact a city. I think the church could learn something from [...]

28 Sep 2009If you weren’t aware, TIME Magazine has moved into the neighborhood, purchasing a house in Detroit to spend the next year experiencing and writing about the culture, politics, and economy of the city.

MCREST and Invisible People
17 Sep 2009Yesterday I shared a bit of Mark Horvath’s TV Producer/Marketing Executive resume. Now here is part of his story (and yes, there’s a difference). This is what he writes on his InvisiblePeople.tv vlog:
I once heard a story about a homeless man on Hollywood Blvd who really thought he was invisible. But one day a kid [...]
Solid Ground and Invisible People
16 Sep 2009I’m taking a break from regularly scheduled 2nd Corinthians programming to share a story about Mark Horvath and a few very visible people. It’s worth taking a break for – trust me!
Here is how my friend, Mark Horvath, describes himself on his web site:

Loving Your Neighbor: Cross Point Community Church
In: Service| church| love your neighbor
29 Aug 2009There’s a chapter in the book, Jesus Loves You, that I really struggled with: Jesus Loves the Religious. I could identify. It frustrates me when I see the church being something other than what the church was designed to be. In this chapter Craig Gross writes. “it is the few examples that can spoil the [...]
Craig Gross writes a chapter in the book, Jesus Love You, titled Jesus Loves Porn Stars. In this chapter he says, “Jesus loved and spent time with people who appeared to be far from belief. In reality, many in the adult industry are hurting and ready to make a change. Some just don’t know how [...]

26 Aug 2009I’ve already said that I loved the chapter in Jesus Loves You titled “Jesus Loves the Disconnected.” In this chapter Jason Harper writes about Jesus meeting the common needs of common people, pointing out that “Jesus loved them with authentic compassion and practical help.” Mission: St. Louis is living out the love people call better [...]

I’m excited to be meeting [...]
Jesus Loves the Disconnected (Part 1)
25 Aug 2009One of my favorite chapters in the book Jesus Loves You is the chapter titled “Jesus Loves the Disconnected.” I think I identify with that chapter so much because we’ve all been there, haven’t we? In this Chapter Jason Harper talks about being so busy doing ministry that it seems we’ve forgotten what ministry is [...]
