I saw on an old Google image that this dancing water fountain (closed for the winter) used to be a prayer labyrinth.

We're grateful for the Christian heritage of this city that is now having a huge growth spurt of church plants. May they continue to multiply and flourish!

I was grieved to read of the death of Charles Walker. He saw a performance of Beyond the Chariots at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, after which he told us how he found Eric Liddell's grave in Weifang, China, which started the ball rolling on the establishment of a massive monument there in Liddell's...

I just came across the obituary of a man who entered ministry after an encounter with Eric Liddell: Alexander Holmes. Who knows how many lives have been touched by Liddell's life.

When I told my friend Leo I'd be coming to Memphis he set up workshops and performances at the University of Memphis and Second Presbyterian Church. He said, "The preaching is going to cover Revelation 21. Do you happen to have anything that would match the theme?" That night I got to shar...

Mt. Bachelor wasn't scheduled to open its lifts until today, so when I was there last week I hiked up. Didn't make it to the top, but it was a fun, if brief, descent.

While visiting my family in Oregon I ate at the pizza parlor (mentioned on November 16) where I ate many lunches in high school.

One day I had to leave before my friends, and I was going to ask them to get up so I could squeeze out of the booth, but I realized that I didn't want to grow up entirely,...

We were having lunch in the pizza parlor where I ate many lunches as a student of Phoenix High School, Phoenix, Oregon, a town which had a population of 2,000 when I was a kid. Who should be having lunch there but Jon Davis, the lead elder at the Beijing International Christian Fellowship, who arr...

Dear Rich,

My name is Jana. I am a student at Fox and had the privilege of seeing you perform in chapel and your A Clear Leading ( I Dreamed I Was Free) act. They were both amazing.

I just wanted to say thanks for how candid you were in the chapel session. Possibly my most favorite was when ...
