Atticus Finch
This symbolic quote which lends itself to the title of Harper Lee’s novel is one of many bits of wisdom from this classic American novel. Another thing Atticus tells his children is to “walk around in someone else’s skin for a while” to understand the way he/she acts or thinks. Read more about the “skin” of folks at RVA these days here.

Three dollars of God
June 15, 2008I just got an email update from a church planter in San Diego. He included this great quote from Tozer.
“I’d like to buy three dollars’ worth of God. Please, not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want the warmth of the womb, not a rebirth. I want a pound of the eternal in a paper sack. I’d like to buy about three dollars’ worth of God, please.”

Every afternoon…
June 13, 2008…when I’m home with my boys while my wife teaches, I try to remember this quote.
I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren’t trying to teach us.

Ever heard of syncretism?
June 12, 2008Read this hilarious (and sad of course) letter from a woman in Papua New Guinea. A great reminder that we must understand the worldview of the people to whom we’re telling about Jesus. They might “believe” in Him but have no idea what that means.

If you’ve seen my shoes, you’d understand this quote
June 9, 2008Let’s just say I use the “force” when it comes to keeping my shoes in one piece.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together . . .

From the Message
June 6, 2008I read this one today from Ecclesiastes.
“The day of your funeral tells more about you than the day of your birth.”
