Strong Hearts, Close Ties

Ponderosa State Park, Idaho

The term band of brothers was first popularized by William Shakespeare in his famous history play, Henry V. The great English playwright used the term to refer to a group of men whose dedication and loyalty to one another was strengthened in the heat of battle. Their shared struggle forged them into a band of brothers with ties as close or closer than any blood ties.

Rear-Admiral Horatio Nelson later popularize the use of the term at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Nelson referred to the officers under his command as his “noble-minded friends and comrades. Such a gallant set of fellows! Such a band of brothers! My heart swells at the thought of them!” After the battle, Nelson often used the term to refer to those who had fought alongside him. He had nothing but the deepest respect and most heartfelt gratitude for each of these men.

Band of Brothers Hike
Band of brothers is the term that my good friend Gil Harris uses to refer to the men in his discipleship group. These men meet regularly to study the word of God and to strengthen and encourage one another to be godly men, husbands, and fathers. Gil understands the strategic significance of strengthening men through involvement in a shared mission and shared adventure — occasions that call on brothers to work shoulder-to-shoulder to complete a task.

Hiking
I have thoroughly enjoyed the past several days with Gil and the band of brothers as we have worked together on the new Kingsland Ministry Home in Boise, Idaho. I have watched each of these men enjoy fellowship and the opportunity to serve others together. Yesterday was a really good day as we traveled together into the mountains for a shared adventure, another occasion to strengthen the ties that bind brothers closer together.

YWAM Training Camp
On the way to the hiking trails at Ponderosa State Park, we stopped to visit a friend at the YWAM (Youth With A Mission) Training Center, a place where young people are prepared to serve the interests of the kingdom around the world. The training center is something of a boot camp. Young people not only complete theological and missiological training, but they are strengthened physically by hikes and outings into the mountains.

Trailside Devotional
Our time on the trails at Ponderosa Sate Park was fantastic. Hiking through the mountains was made more enjoyable because of sharing the experience with one another. We laughed, we prayed, we stopped to look at some of the most beautiful scenery in silence, and we enjoyed a trailside devotional time. We are all returning home with stronger hearts and closer ties to one another. God has used our shared mission and our shared adventure this week to draw us closer to Him and to one another. That’s something to be thankful for.

Kingsland Ministry Home

Boise, Idaho

Yesterday felt like an episode of Extreme Home Makeover as we feverishly worked to finish and tidy things up before the big reveal. Our men climbed ladders, spread paint, removed carpet, cleaned floors, installed molding, painted baseboards, cut grass, installed lighting, and a dozen other things — including the installation of a wooden cross above the entrance to the home. And all of this happened in a joyous atmosphere with music from the local Christian radio station filling the house. We had a blast, motivated to work non-stop by our shared mission.

IMG_3290
As the time for the dedication of the home approached, invited guests started to arrive. All of the local YWAM (Youth With A Mission) staff pulled up in a big 16-passenger van. Great group of young people preparing for service around the world. Others who have been helped by the ministry also showed up. Everyone mingled and talked on the lawn, enjoying the absolutely perfect weather.

At 6:00 PM, Chad Prigmore and Doug Hardy spoke to us about what this additional house will mean to their ministry to the homeless and those whom they serve. Chad surprised us all by announcing that this house will be officially known as the Kingsland Ministry Home — a place where people in need will always find help and hope in Jesus. What a cool blessing. This home will be an extension of what we are all about at Kingsland: loving God and loving people in meaningful ways that bring glory to God.

IMG_3300
I am grateful for Brian Stone, our Generations Pastor, and Gill Harris for their leadership of our men’s ministry. I am also thankful for each of the men who took time to travel with us to Idaho to complete work on the house. And I’m thankful for those who provided the funds that enabled us to assist Chad and Doug with this ministry initiative in Boise. The investment of time and resources here will yield fruit for the kingdom of God for years to come.

Later today, our team will head a couple of hours north of Boise for a shared adventure. We will hike one of the most scenic trails in the state with some of our new friends. Although tired, our guys are ready to hit the trail and enjoy the outdoors. Like our shared mission, our shared adventure will give us the opportunity to strengthen the ties that bind. I’m looking forward to a good day of fellowship with a group of guys I have come to love and respect even more as we have worked shoulder-to-shoulder at the Kingsland Ministry Home.

Our Shared Mission

Boise, Idaho

Yesterday morning, God reminded our band of brothers once again why our presence here in Idaho this week is so important. Chad Prigmore, our ministry partner, introduced us to his people — those who live on the streets of Boise. One older man in particular touched my heart. When Chad stopped to ask him how he was doing, the gray-bearded man started to weep.

Boise Homeless
I leaned forward to listen to his halting reply. The old man told Chad that he was afraid because another homeless man had threatened to kill him. The threat had rattled the old man. He truly believed his life was in danger. I could sense and see the fear in his eyes. He looked like a little boy who was lost and alone with no one to turn to for help.

Many who exist in the ragged margins of society live in anxious fear of something — things like where their next meal will come from, what they will do if the weather turns bad, if someone will take advantage of them. These are but a few of the ghosts that haunt them daily. One man to whom Chad and his partner Doug minister to understands what it means to be afraid. Someone got angry at him and impaled his skull with a claw hammer.

Chad and Doug have given their lives to help those who live in fear every day. They have become champions for the homeless, the addicted, and the marginalized. They serve the least of these in our western caste system — those who live in the shadowy world of our peripheral vision. They know the names and the stories of those who hold the cardboard signs on streets corners and those who never venture beyond the shadows of back alleys.

IMG_3263
We spent the entire day working at the house that will become a home for another dozen men who need a hand up. Some of these men worked beside us and shared with us their stories. The home we are working on represents a safe haven to them, a place where their fears are mitigated by the encouragement they receive. They are learning the value of living in community and lending hope to one another.

Danny and Neal
God is also using the experience of this shared mission to strengthen our band of brothers. We worked hard all day because we know what our labor means to those we have come to serve. Every man on our team went above and beyond and performed their assigned tasks with excellence. We are not only seeing progress on the house, but sensing how God is deepening our bonds with one another. God is using hammers and paint brushes and tools as vehicles to strengthen our relationships and hearts.

Omar on Ladder
We have one more day to finish what we came here to do. We will dedicate the ministry home to the Lord on Friday evening, presenting it to Him as a place where men will find faith, hope, and love. The pressure is on to finish our task. I can hardly wait for the sun to come up in the morning as we continue our shared mission.

Among the Marginalized

Boise, Idaho

The most profound lesson I learned from studying the life of Mother Teresa is about where to find Jesus. The late Mother Teresa often instructed her Missionaries of Charity to go to the dark and narrow places in Kolkata to search for Jesus. “You will find him there,” she said, “in the distressing disguise of the poor.” She was right.

Mother Teresa gave her life to looking for Jesus in the distressing disguise of the poor. She served the marginalized and outcasts of Kolkata in the same way Jesus would. She clothed the naked, fed the hungry, cared for the sick, and gave water to the thirsty. To this day, the Missionaries of Charity serving in Kolkata and around the globe continue to do the same.

I have a deep respect for those who live and serve among the marginalized. Several years ago, God connected me with Chad Prigmore, a man serving the homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles. God connected our paths through our respective blogs. Over the years we became friends and exchanged ideas about how to minister to the least of these. Chad eventually moved to Boise, Idaho to launch a new work among the homeless.

Finally, about a year ago, Chad and I met face to face when he came to visit me in Katy. We spent our brief time together visiting the homeless and the poor in the greater Houston area. Yesterday, I flew to Boise with Brian Stone, our Generations Pastor, and men from Gil Harris’ Band of Brothers men’s group. We are here to help Chad and his partner Doug Hardy complete work on a third center for the homeless.

Soon after we landed in Idaho’s beautiful Treasure Valley, Chad and Doug invited us to join them at the studios of Inspirational Family Radio. We had the privilege of sharing the story of how God connected us and why we have come to Boise. All of the men on our team had the opportunity to speak on the radio. What a blessing it was to hear how God is at work in the hearts of Gil Harris and the Kingsland men in his group.

Our team also visited Pastor Steve Vint, one of Chad and Doug’s newest urban ministry partners. For the past three years, Pastor Steve has lived and served in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the greater Boise area. He is reaching a neglected slice of the local population in a place where even angels fear to tread. He is a pastor to the marginalized. And he is making a difference. Mother Teresa would be proud!

Over the next couple of days we hope to complete much of the work at the new Wymer House ministry center and then dedicate this facility on Friday evening. We have a ton of work to do to prepare this home for more than a dozen men who will live and find hope within its walls. We are grateful to be in Boise to help Chad and Doug with their ministry to those who live in the narrow and ragged margins of society. May God continue to use our partners and friends here to look for Jesus in the distressing disguise of the poor.

Nature Deficit Disorder

There is an emerging trend in healthcare that is shifting focus from the mere treatment of disease to the promotion of wellness. In recent months, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital have teamed up with the Appalachian Mountain Club to launch Outdoors Rx. This initiative is designed to combat disease which stems from inactive lifestyles — like childhood obesity, Type 1 diabetes, and asthma. Doctors are prescribing outdoor activities to patients. These prescriptions are then filled by the Appalachian Mountain Club. Brilliant.

Biking at Brazos Bend State Park with some good Kingsland friends.

Biking at Brazos Bend State Park with some good Kingsland friends.

Outdoors Rx is giving new meaning to “giving someone their walking papers.” The truth of the matter is that too many Americans live sedentary lifestyles and should get out and walk or bike or swim or whatever the doctor orders. Watching Bear Grylls slide down a rocky hill from your easy chair or playing video games does not burn many calories. Many health issues are related to poor diet, lack of activity, and a lack of exposure to fresh air.

Dr. Christian Scirica, a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, said, “In addition to the widely known benefits of physical activity, research studies have found that exposure to natural environments also improves physical and emotional health. Exposure to the outdoors has been found to reduce the risk of high blood pressure, Vitamin D deficiency, depression and anxiety, and may even improve attention.” According to Dr. Scirica, spending time outdoors has the added benefit of improving mental health.

I recently read “The River of Doubt” by Candice Millard, the account of Theodore Roosevelt’s epic journey to map an uncharted tributary of the Amazon River in Brazil. Roosevelt was a sickly child. When he was 11 years-old his father told him, “Theodore, you have the mind but not the body, and without the body the mind cannot go as far as it should. You must make your body. It is hard drudgery to make one’s body, but I know you will do it.” And do it he did!

Teddy Roosevelt got outdoors and exercised and changed the course of his life. Millard writes, “Throughout his adult life, Roosevelt would relish physical exertion, and he would use it not just to keep his body fit and his mind sharp but as his most effective weapon against depression and despair.” That’s why, in his fifties, Roosevelt was able to face his toughest physical challenge on the River of Doubt deep in the Amazon jungle, a journey that demoralized and even took the lives of younger men on the expedition.

I applaud the doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital and other doctors around the nation who are proactively doing something to fight the problems caused by nature deficit disorder — spending too much time indoors. But, don’t wait for a doctor to give you a prescription. Take the initiative to get outdoors, get your heart rate up, and breathe fresh air. Do something hard and feel the burn. Doctors are reporting an improvement in the health of patients who are venturing out to neighborhood walking and biking trails, to state and national parks, and other outdoor settings.

I hope you have a healthy week. Be sure to spend some time outdoors. It will do your body, heart, and mind a lot of good.

Eternal Reunion

I had the privilege yesterday to take part in a special service at Kingsland Baptist Church — the unveiling of a painting by Texas artist Ken Turner. Years ago Dr. Glen Ginter and his wife Melinda experienced a parent’s worst nightmare, the loss of a child. In the years since the death of their son, God has used Glen and Melinda to comfort and encourage many others who have suffered the loss of children and family members. Whenever you talk to this sweet couple, you sense that they hold things on this earth loosely and long for the day when they will be reunited with their son in heaven.

Glen and Melinda understand loss, but they also understand hope. God has used them to inspire hope in others by comforting those who have suffered loss. But recently, God put something into Glen’s heart that will continue to inspire others for years and perhaps generations to come. Glen and Melinda commissioned Ken Turner to create a painting depicting their son and others in heaven. That’s a tall order, even for a Texan like Ken Turner. Ken accepted the challenge and painted a beautiful scene depicting many of the Ginter’s family and friends who are now in heaven.

Eternal Reunion
Those of us who attended the unveiling last night all have a personal stake in heaven — a place that has become more real to us, more dear to us, and more anticipated by us because of the death of a loved one. We are no strangers to what it means to grieve with hope or with the expectation that one day we will join those who have preceded us in death. Heaven represents the hope that one day we will not only see Christ face to face, the culmination of our salvation, but that we will be reunited with our loved ones.

One thing is certain, we will never fully comprehend the magnificence of heaven, hard as we may try. That is a privilege reserved only for those who have crossed the veil. In the words of the Apostle Paul, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall know fully just as I also have been fully known” (1 Cor. 13:12). Every family member and friend represented in Ken Turner’s beautiful painting now fully know what we will never know on this side of heaven.

Paul again underscored the truth that we can never fully know what heaven is like as long as we are on this earth. In 1 Corinthians 2:9, Paul said, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.” Our minds cannot begin to conceive or understand God’s wonderful plan for His children and the future blessings that He has in store for them. The future blessings that we will enjoy in heaven are beyond the reach of our human understanding and imagination. Heaven will be a million times better than we can possibly imagine.

The Bible has a lot to say about heaven. Peter described heaven as a kingdom (2 Pet. 1:11) and an inheritance (1 Pet. 1:4). The writer of Hebrews described it as a country (Heb. 11:16) and a city (Heb. 11:16). But Jesus described heaven in the most tender and intimate of terms — a home. “In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2). Heaven is a real place — a prepared place for a prepared people.

Jesus explained to His disciples that the way to heaven is through Him (John 14:6): “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus used the definite article “the” to tell us that He alone is the way, truth, and life rather than one among many ways to get to heaven. In the words of Thomas à Kempis, “Without the way there is no going; without the truth there is no knowing; without the life there is no living.”

Receiving Jesus’ free gift of eternal life is available to all who will acknowledge these truths.

• We must acknowledge that we have sinned against God (Rom. 3:23).

• We must understand that the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23a).

• We must understand that God sent His own Son to pay the penalty of our sin (Rom. 5:8). Jesus died on the cross and rose again from the dead, forever conquering sin and death.

• We must repent of our sin and place our faith in Jesus alone for salvation (Rom. 10:9-10).

• We must call on the name of the Lord (Rom. 10:13) and personally invite Jesus into our hearts to be our Lord and Savior.

The Bible assures those who have placed their faith in Christ that Jesus will prepare a room for them in His Father’s indescribable home. One day we will all know in full what today we only know in part — that heaven is a real place where there will be no more pain and no more tears, a home far beyond anything we can ever imagine. Today is the fifth anniversary of my beautiful mother’s death. I miss her still, I grieve with hope, and I look forward to the day of our eternal reunion.

PS | I encourage you to visit Ken Turner’s website to look at some of his other magnificent paintings.

A Shared Adventure

Today is my son Jonathan’s 30th birthday. I can hardly believe that so many years have passed since we brought him home from Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi. Our lives have never been the same since. Over the years we have enjoyed lots of really good days, survived some really tough and dark days, and learned many lessons about the ways of God — how He can take the best and worst of our lives and weave these threads into a beautiful tapestry. I am very proud of Jonathan, grateful that he is a member of our family, and thankful that he still enjoys sharing adventures with me.

Jonathan and Dad in Colorado
I took a couple of vacation days this week to travel to North Texas to do some adventuring with Jonathan. He and I talk several times a week and our conversation inevitably turns to what will be our next father-son adventure. This week we decided that we would camp out at one of our state parks, ride our mountain bikes on some challenging trails, and do some paddling in our canoe.

IMG_3149
Jonathan recommended that I ride the trails at Cedar Hill State Park on my way to pick him up in Lewisville. So, I spent Tuesday night at the park in my solo tent and rode the single-track trails there the following morning. Fantastic trails maintained by the Dallas Off Road Bicycle Association. Other than taking an epic spill going a little too fast on a tight switchback, I thoroughly enjoyed the trails at Cedar Hill. Definitely worth another visit.

IMG_3153
Later in the morning, Jonathan introduced me to the Grapevine North Shore Trails, so named because they are located on the north side of Lake Grapevine. These are among the best single-track trails in the metroplex. Lots of fun and plenty of technical challenges. Because Jonathan is a much faster rider than I am we did get separated at one point. I took a wrong turn. But, we enjoyed a good time on these trails.

IMG_3154
After riding the North Shore Trails, we loaded our gear into Jonathan’s Trailblazer and headed to Cleburne State Park to set up our camp. We arrived just as the sun was starting to set. What a beautiful night it was. Jonathan cooked up a delicious meal and we spent the remaining hours talking around the campfire. Our original plan was to head for the Brazos River the next morning to paddle and do some primitive camping, but something unexpected happened.

IMG_3156
For the past few days the big toe on my left foot has been sensitive to the touch. From Tuesday night to Wednesday afternoon, my toe swelled to twice its size, turned red, and my toenail turned a frosty color (too much information, I know). The pain was intense — it felt as though someone had hit my toe with a hammer. So, we drove to nearby Cleburne on Thursday morning to see a doctor. Bottom line: I have a bad strep or staph infection in my big toe. Not sure how I got it but it has my full attention. Started my round of two prescribed antibiotics and then we were off again on a modified adventure since we ate up most of the morning at the doctor’s office.
Dinosaur Valley SPInstead of canoeing on the Brazos, we decided to keep our campsite at Cleburne State Park and ride the trails there (very painful ride for me) and then canoe at Cedar Lake. We also drove to nearby Dinosaur Valley State Park for a quick trail ride and to look at the dinosaur tracks along the Paluxy River. Pretty cool stuff! There is just something about dinosaurs that brings out the boy in grown men. Before we left, Jonathan did a little rock-stacking at the park, something amazing to watch. When we returned to our campsite Jonathan cooked some delicious steaks and veggies. The best part of the evening, however, was sharing good conversation around the campfire.

IMG_3187
Our two-day adventure was not expensive. We are fortunate to have so many beautiful and affordable venues in the Lone Star State for outdoor adventure. Sharing adventures like the ones Jonathan and I enjoyed this week is a great way to strengthen the ties that bind. I feel especially fortunate to have a son who still enjoys spending time with his dad. As for me, I can’t wait for our next father-son adventure. On the horizon is yet another shared adventure — biking the Caprock Canyons Trailway. You can be sure that Jonathan and I will talk a lot about this next adventure between now and the day that we do it. Happy Birthday, Jonathan. I love you.

Once-Ordinary Days

The longer we live, the more that the days on our calendar take on certain significance. All it takes to forever change a once-ordinary date on the calendar is for something beyond the ordinary to happen. For example, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt declared December 7, 1941 as “a date which will live in infamy.” September 11 is to our generation what December 7 is to what Tom Brokaw described as the greatest generation.

Certain dates on our personal calendars are also set apart because of some happening that is of significance only to us — perhaps a birth, death, anniversary, graduation, tragedy, or whatever. Every person that we meet carries with them the joys and pains associated with certain days on their calendars, once-ordinary days forever changed by the stuff of life.

EPSON MFP image

Today is one of those bittersweet days on my personal calendar. Today would have been my mother’s 80th birthday. My beautiful mother observed her 75th and final birthday in the hospital, battling cancer that was diagnosed only days before. She never left the hospital. Two weeks later my mother died quietly in her hospital bed, surrounded by family.

My mother’s death was unexpected in more ways than one. Because her mother had lived to be almost 102 years-old, we always assumed that Mom would also have a long life. Instead, she was the youngest in her family to die. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her and give thanks to God for her influence in my life. Her death rattled me and reminded me that there is so much I will never understand about God’s ways and purposes as long as I am on this side of heaven.

So, for me, there are three days in the month of May that will always cause me to be a bit more pensive. Mother’s Day, my mother’s birthday, and the date of my mother’s death will always be filled with a measure of sadness. But, these days also remind me of how fortunate I am to have had such a wonderful mother. Her sweet memory is forever stamped not only on these once-ordinary days on my calendar but, indeed, on every day of my calendar. I miss her still. I grieve with hope. I know I will see her again on a yet undetermined day on the calendar when I draw my final breath.

Reaching Panta Ta Ethne

Yesterday morning I had the privilege of joining Dr. Robert Sloan and the faculty and trustees of Houston Baptist University for the May Commencement ceremony. This was my second time to witness a graduation at HBU from the platform. There was a palpable excitement in the air at the Dunham Theater in the beautiful Morris Cultural Arts Center on campus. Parents and friends of the graduates made it no secret how proud they were as their graduate walked across the stage. And, rightly so.

With Dr. Robert Sloan, HBU President, and Dr. Steven Jones.

With Dr. Robert Sloan, HBU President, and Dr. Steven Jones.

What I have found most interesting at the two graduation ceremonies that I have attended are the names of the students — some of which are hard to pronounce. The variety of names testify to the fact that the nations are certainly well represented at HBU. The nations are among us to stay. The last command of Jesus to “make disciples of all nations” or “all peoples” (panta ta ethne in the Greek) applies to the nations among us, not just those that live abroad. There is a diaspora of people groups from all over the world that live and study and work among us. They, too, are our responsibility.

This morning I spoke at the Cambodian Baptist Church of Houston, a 30-year-old church that meets on the campus of South Main Baptist Church in downtown Houston. God has honored the faithfulness of those first generation Cambodians who came to America soon after the days of the Khmer Rouge in search of a better life. God bless whoever it was at South Main who had a vision for reaching out to Cambodian immigrants and refugees. The Cambodian church has grown over the years and will move into their new facility (constructed debt free) in August.

One of the members of the Cambodian church shared something interesting with me this morning. “We are a church of Cambodian Christians but we are not only interested in reaching Cambodians. We want to reach out to all peoples (panta ta ethne).” The members of the church are not just sharing their faith with Cambodians, but with people from many nations in their respective circles of influence. They are seeking to fulfill the last command of Christ to make disciples of all peoples and not just people like them. May we also be sensitive to every opportunity to show Christ’s love and to share His message with all peoples — both at home and abroad.
