• Orthopractic Adjustment

  Posted on August 17, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    A sign in a chiropractor’s office might read: “Glad to see your back.”  Spinal adjustment is the chiropractor’s bread and butter. God speaks to us about the back.  He wants us properly aligned in two ways, orthodoxy and orthopraxis.  Orthodoxy is right doctrine; orthopraxis right practice. Orthopraxis speaks to our lives under the lordship […]

• The Womb of Prayer

  Posted on August 14, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    The Bible is a pastoral book.  It does not contain oracles fallen from the sky like a plane dropping leaflets for advertising or propaganda.  God did not speak through His prophets into a timeless vacuum.  Rather, God spoke into the lives of His people to bring His decrees and wisdom to bear on their […]

• Equipping in Evangelistic Prayer

  Posted on August 6, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    What does your church do to mobilize its members for personal evangelism?  A pastor friend of mine said the approach of most churches is to have their members memorize the pastor’s phone number. While a case could be made that the pastor of the local church is the chief evangelist, for him to be […]

• When Pastors Panic

  Posted on July 30, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    On Tuesday, May 8th of this year I sent an email from my hospital bed to the congregation I serve as a pastor.  The previous Thursday I had collapsed on the tennis court and been taken by ambulance to the hospital.  That would be the entry way to a slew of tests to figure […]

• Why I wrote…

  Posted on July 26, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    How Can I Know Eternal Life: God’s Good News Goldilocks was the consummate middleman.  Whether it came to porridge, chairs, or beds, she gravitated toward balance. I share Goldilocks’ concern when it comes to evangelistic materials.  Most of what I encounter is either too dense with words, making it difficult to follow the trail […]

• Finding Time to Pray

  Posted on July 24, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    All of us admit to the need to spend more time in prayer. The question is, where do we find the time? Some might insist that we always find time for what we want to do.  Yes. And no.  There are some non-negotiables like work and sleep, surrounded by other things not necessarily on […]

  Primer on Prayer

  Posted on July 18, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

  My booklet on prayer as part of P&R’s Basics of the Faith series was released earlier this month.  My prayer is that it would be used of God not only to inform but to incite His church to the delight and work of prayer. Below are six questions and answers I prepared for P&R to […]

• Prayer on the Big Screen of Life

  Posted on July 11, 2012 by sdgale in 'CHOP Talk' Blog.

    George Lucas need not feel threatened.   The grandiose special effects that stir the viewer in his Star Wars movies are in no danger of being overshadowed.  What you see is little more than a talking head, not dissimilar to a hatless Elmer Fudd.  His torso is shown but it’s difficult to discern wearing a […]
