The MK Song
Tom Shaw was kind enough to put the Grady Toland concert held at Cedarville University (nee College) back in the 1980s onto YouTube. Grady was not a music professional. He was a missionary who was invited to do a bit of a music show at Cedarville. That may have been the first and last time …
Challenge of “Being Nice” in Religious Conversations
I was watching one of only a few Religious YouTube channels I peruse--- Gospel Simplicity. In this one, the creator was communicating about what he liked about the Catholic church. It should be noted that the creator is not Roman Catholic. He is actually Anglican. He likes to bring together dialogue between Roman Catholics, Protestants, …

Using Other “Spiritual Writings” than the Holy Bible in Ministry
I was teaching a class in a small Bible School. This school is in a small country in Africa where Christianity is a minority religion. A couple of students brought up interesting questions that I did not realize were related. One of the questions was about doing missionary work in reaching out to Mormons (or …

2026 Writing Tasks
I know some are into New Years Resolutions. As far as I can recall, I have never done this. I think I am more open to the idea of year "theming." I have done this before and found it had some merit. This year, my focus is more on Missions writing. As a missions professor, …
Ministry Chart Update

The 2025 edition of the Philippines Journal of Religious Studies …
Reading Revelation Differently and It’s Impact on Missiology— Part 1.
I went to a Christian college back in the 1980s. At that school, Hal Lindsay was all the rage. He promoted a certain type of understanding of the future, and particularly a way of reading he Book of Revelation in the Bible. I knew this understanding as "PreTrib PreMill" but the more formal encapsulating term …

When You Rule the Mountain, the Mountain Rules You (Seven Mountain Mandate)
I am writing a book with the tentative title "Paradoxical Christians Mission: Theology Reflections for Weak, Small, Poor, and Slow Ministry." In case it wasn't clear in the title, I am suggesting that Weak, Small, Poor, and Slow are GOOD qualities in ministry. As I have been writing I feel myself bumping up against the …

“Footprints in the Sand” Revisited— A Story
Child look backed along the shoreLINE. The sandy beach appeared to extend to the horizon and beyond. “Hmmm….” said Child. “Yes?” asked the Companion. “Oh, it’s nothing. … I mean it is not important.” “A lot of unimportant things are still worth saying,” replied the Companion. “Well, looking back I see our footprints. They continue …
