Don’t Speak Up: On the Spiritual Discipline of Silence

Yes! “As evangelicals, we often feel guilty for not evangelizing more, or not speaking a word of correction to a friend in sin. And sometimes that sense of guilt is correct! But here, Jesus identifies another way we can err: speaking up wrongly, at the wrong times, and to the wrong person.”

From Where Does Bad Theology Come?

There is so much of it out there. Where does it come from?

What Makes People Like (and Dislike) Their Doctors?

I found this strangely interesting. And not too surprising.

When a Hurricane Destroys Your Distractions

“After my experience, I’m increasingly convinced that two of the biggest barriers to neighborly living are air conditioning and the internet. When stripped of these two luxuries, people were forced to interact as embodied persons. The multitude of distractions available on the internet were simply gone.”

What Americans Need to Know about the African Church (Video)

Ken Mbugua gives a three-minute answer.
