10 Questions for the Only Pastor I Know Who Doesn’t Have a Cellphone

Last updated on: March 11, 2015 at 7:20 am By Tim Suttle

This article was previously published at Crosswalk.com. You can go here to see the whole interview. How many of your friends can you name who do not have a cell phone? If I don’t count anyone under the age of 16, or over the age of 80, then I can only name one: my friend Garrett. He’s barely 40 and is a pastor, which seems like a tough job to do without a cellphone in hand. Over the years he’s taken... Read more

Immigration and the Health of a Nation

Last updated on: March 5, 2015 at 7:52 am By Tim Suttle

I was reading some Eugene Peterson this week, and ran upon a section in which he talked about how we assess the health of a nation. He said, “We measure the health of our nation and the success of our lives in terms of per capita income and gross national product.” (Working the Angles) The book was written 25 years ago, and nothing has changed. Add the Consumer Price Index, Dow Industrial Average, S&P 500, Consumer Confidence, Employment statistics, and you are hitting... Read more

Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: March 2, 2015 at 7:21 pm By Tim Suttle

I confess that I led worship with some excellent musicians yesterday and had such a good time. I felt like the sermon was pretty decent, but all I could think about for the rest of the day was how much fun I had playing with this band, and how often I leave church feeling like that. Redemption Church is incredibly blessed when it comes to musicians. It’s an embarrassment of riches. This MMC is a tribute to the musicians who... Read more

The Beauty of the Midlife Crisis: Monday Morning Confessional

Last updated on: February 23, 2015 at 10:32 am By Tim Suttle

I confess that I’m in the middle of a midlife crisis, and it’s way better than I could have ever imagined. In fact, I’ve become convinced that the midlife crisis gets a bad rap. The phrase itself conjures images of extramarital affairs, two-door sports cars, and the hair club for men. My story is unfolding quite differently. Five or six years ago, I began to see that I lived far too much of my life for other people (not their... Read more

Lutheran Satire’s Take on Ash Wednesday (A Little Friday Funny)

Last updated on: February 20, 2015 at 6:44 am By Tim Suttle

In order to really get this video, one must appreciate how truly difficult it is to make Lent funny. I think my favorite line is, “I’m surprised you haven’t heard about this. We invited every member of your church.” …so funny. Happy Friday everybody. Read more

Ash Wednesday Service Ideas & Why This Day is So Important

Last updated on: February 18, 2015 at 6:32 am By Tim Suttle

“What good is it to live long when we improve so little? A long life does not always improve us; in fact, it often adds to our problems. Would that we could spend even one day well in this world. Many people count the years of their lives in Christ, but often not much comes of their attempts to change their lives. If it is frightful to die, perhaps it is more dangerous still to live a long life. Blessed... Read more

Why Evangelicals Need to Observe Lent

Last updated on: February 17, 2015 at 7:27 am By Tim Suttle

Evangelicals need to observe Lent, in part, because our troubling lack of tradition leaves us untethered from the past. A church without the great traditions of the faith is like a church with amnesia. Rejecting tradition means submitting ourselves and our churches to the tyranny of the relevant, the oligarchy of the innovative, and the arrogance of the avant-garde. More than ever before, the church needs to rediscover our tradition. When I say tradition, I don’t mean pews and organs and choir robes and... Read more

I confess that I hate that Fifty Shades of Grey did so well at the box office. It seems to me like a step backward for women. I confess that I think Kurt Busch’s ex-girlfriend was an assassin. I confess that I sometimes act as offensive coordinator for my son while he’s playing Madden 2015. I call the plays for him & he executes.

Conversations We Should Be Having About War American Sniper highlights the disproportionate burden of war carried by combat veterans. by Tim Suttle The release of American Sniper prompted plenty of debate, and a flurry of opinionated speech concerning the past decade of war, proving once again how hard it is to discuss something we know so little about.

Koch Brothers Pledge $900 Million for 2016 Campaign: Will Rival Both Major Parties’ Spending

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 at 6:11 am By Tim Suttle

When I saw the headline in The New York Times, I felt physically ill: “Koch Brothers’ Budget of $889 Million for 2016 Is on Par With Both Parties’ Spending.” In a bold and blatant move to control the outcome of a national elections, the Koch Brothers are building an old school mob-boss style political machine. Only they’re not looking out for anybody’s interest but their own: The political network overseen by the conservative billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch plans to spend close to... Read more
