On May 29 I did this teaching on 2 Timothy 4:1-4. I didn't have time to post it at the time, but it came up several times when we were in Europe: A new friend from Northern Ireland sent me a post referencing it with a story about John Wayne saying, "...John Wayne gives his heart to Jesus C...

Joyce had a new epiphany while digging into her life verse, which became our marriage verse: Jeremiah 29:11. This morning at Westchester Chapel she covered verses 5-14. It's a great word to everyone in this volatile season. 

Joyce's article posted to www.HeadlinePrayer.org on Saturday:

Lord, teach us how to repent in the fullness this great gift allows. Change us into the image of Christ.

If you pick up a modern French dictionary — one sanctioned by the Institut de France — the government academy that arbitrates matters c...

Joyce and I both had articles post on www.HeadlinePrayer.org while we were in Paris. 

Here's Joyce's article on Smyrna, "Overcoming the Times We Live In":

What you may not know is that there were other races he wouldn't run because a heat woul...

If you've watched my performance of Beyond the Chariots at the Singapore Expo it's missing one of my favorite scenes. We had to trim the play to fit a larger service, and we needed to do that again at Summer Madness in Northern Ireland at the end of June. This time I got to perform the scene separat...

I'm posting this a bit out of order, but today, as I was making my way through Paris, I heard one of our pastors at Westchester Chapel preach on Jonah. It reminded me that I hadn't posted my report about my performance of my play about Jonah in Frankfurt on Independence Day: 

Today was definitely a once in a lifetime event! We got to share Beyond the Chariots at The Scots Kirk Paris, where Eric Liddell preached one hundred years ago today, instead of running the 100m heat at the 1924 Paris Olympics. We added a once only scene to the play: 

This annual Christian youth festival has been running since 1987. Here's our report before the Madness begins...

Here's our schedule: 

Joyce wrote an excellent article inspired by the Off-Broadway play October 7, playing in New York City through June 16, and it includes videos we took before (of the playwright, Phelim McAleer, and two cast members, René Ifrah and Rebecca Lynn Goldfarb) and after (our responses to the play...

Pray for my brain as I'm prepping for these three plays and a sermon:
