I was walking through our city today, observing the city vibe, watching the people, praying for the city and asking the Lord, “Is anyone hungry and thirsty for the Lord?” I met Howard today who came here in the 60s. He loves this town, but is worried it has lost its soul. I heard about […]

“An Explosion of Joy” I love that expression and I believe it wonderfully describes a healthy expression of evangelism and Christian mission in the world. Lesslie Newbigin, a British theologian and missionary to India once said, “Mission begins with an explosion of joy.” In this third part, I want to briefly talk about evangelism and […]

“God is not interesting enough for one to have an opinion about him. Scholars of religion call this attitude ‘apatheism.’” I am uncomfortable even writing that sentence, but sadly that is the growing attitude among many people in America today and a sure sign of our rapid secularization. Every week I try and walk into […]

Some of us here at Crossroads Church Aspen just returned from the official launch of one of our partner churches, Sandbox Church in Houston, Texas.

Is globalization good? Well, yes and no. I am not going to deal with geo-politics in this blog necessarily, but the spiritual warfare reality behind globalization. Tragically, many Christians are reading their Bibles and living their life with more of a worldly worldview than a biblical worldview. The Bible from beginning to end can only […]

What is a healthy person? How do we describe a healthy person and how do we build healthy people? These are all important questions that are so overlooked today in the midst of our margin-less lives. We have been in a Sunday morning teaching series titled, HD Living, Spiritual Clarity and Power through Spiritual Disciplines. […]

It is a sobering thought to realize that our life is constantly “giving off” something to others around us and our environment. Some define this by saying; “That person has a really good presence about them.” Some other terms used to define what people are giving off are; energy, vibe, positive, negative and many other […]

Recently, I took one of our kids on a campus tour of CSU (Colorado State University).  During the tour we walked through a central open plaza where our tour guide told us that it was a “free speech zone.”  The picture included in this blog shows the big preaching stump in the plaza where our […]
