Building Tiny Houses For Homeless Veterans

Last updated on: May 13, 2016 at 6:59 am By Tim Suttle

This is a great story from Frank Morris at KCUR – Kansas City Public Radio – involving a Redemption Church member named White Hawk. I hope you’ll take time to read it, or listen to it. The story is about the effort to try and help get more of KC’s homeless off the streets by building tiny houses. The past few years have seen a lot of help come the way of folks who make their homes off the grid. I’m... Read more

Is Church Membership Still Relevant?

Last updated on: May 12, 2016 at 5:21 am By Tim Suttle

In a world in which a premium is placed on having what we want, when we want it… In a society in which we our constantly told that every need can be met, and every problem can be solved… In a culture in which we are bombarded with images of false perfection and, static idealism… In a community in which everyone is expected to remain part of a mobile workforce willing to forgo the growing of deep roots for fear of...

Church Lady Came Back To SNL w/Special Guests: Donald Trump and Ted Cruz

Last updated on: May 9, 2016 at 9:32 am By Tim Suttle

The church lady came back to SNL with guest appearances by Ted Cruz and Donald Trump… if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s totally worth watching. Here’s the clip & a few of my favorite lines: CL: “We’ve landed on the exciting presidential matchup between a godless liberal democrat and Hillary Clinton.” CL to TC: “Was it God’s plan for you to get humilated by an orange mannequin?” CL: “Our final guest today is the presumptive republican divorcée – I mean nominee…”...

Last updated on: April 30, 2016 at 1:36 pm By Tim Suttle

Here are a few of the websites and books I’ve used over the years to help me explore the practice of Fixed Hour Prayer.

Some of the following resources have a corresponding app that you can download, but these are links to online helps and books you can buy. MissionStClare.com The Audio Version of the Book of...

Ten Great Quotes About Doubt & the Christian Experience

Last updated on: April 25, 2016 at 11:12 am By Tim Suttle

I’ve been thinking about doubt a lot lately, and its central importance in the act of faith. Over the years I’ve come to believe that if you don’t, at one time or another, doubt nearly every aspect of the Christian faith, then you are simply not taking it seriously. Here are a few of my favorite quotes on the essential nature of doubt to the Christian experience: “Doubt isn’t the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith…... Read more

Good News for Christmas and Easter Christians (and a little Good Friday funny)

Last updated on: March 25, 2016 at 8:13 am By Tim Suttle

Have you heard the term Chreastians. It’s a mash-up of Christmas-Easter-Christians that refers to those who only go to church on Christmas and Easter. It’s the Christian equivalent to only watching the season opener and the final game of the World Series. Chreastians is a bad word both aesthetically and in it’s derogatory intention. These days I’m glad when anybody shows up to worship no matter what day it is – so the good news for our Christmas and Easter friends is that we won’t... Read more

What Do the Terrorists Really Want?

Last updated on: March 22, 2016 at 8:35 am By Tim Suttle

Rational, sane, compassionate people who come face to face with the unthinkable violence of Muslim extremist terrorists have to be asking themselves what are these people after? What do they want? What can they possibly think they are accomplishing? The very best answer I’ve found to these questions, at least as they relate to ISIS sponsored terrorism, comes from an article that ran in The Atlantic earlier this year called “What ISIS Really Wants.” The first premise of the article...

I Am Busy Because I Am Vain – A Final Argument for Engaging in Lenten Disciplines

Last updated on: March 10, 2016 at 6:40 am By Tim Suttle

“I am busy because I am vain. I want to appear important. Significant. What better way than to be busy? The incredible hours, the crowded schedule, and the heavy demands on my time are proof to myself – and to all who will notice – that I am important.” – Eugene Peterson I am convinced that one of the most powerful reasons that most of us choose busyness over rest is that we think busy equals important. We choose chronic... Read more

It’s Never Too Late to Start Observing Lent

Last updated on: March 1, 2016 at 5:58 am By Tim Suttle

As we near the halfway point of the season of Lent it occurs to me that among the Christians who have no observance of lent, there might be more than a few who feel a little bit left out. What does one do if their church pays no attention to the season of lent? My advice would be to simply pick a lenten practice of your own and start in. There may also be a group of people who intended to observe lent,... Read more
