Discerning God's Work In The World: Tips From The Times For Preachers: Lin-sanity and ChristianityFriday, February 17, 2012Lin-sanity and ChristianityI don't always agree with David Brooks but sometimes, though he's Jewish, he gets the Christian thing better than we do.

In the second half, when he starts quoting a rabbi, it's less persuasive to me, but what Brooks himself has to say is right on target and worthy of serious reflection in our sports-crazed American culture.A couple of Sundays ago, I noticed that the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church was having a sermon entitled "To Tebow, or Not to Tebow?" Wow, we Episcopalians have a lot to learn about sermon titles. I'm praying for these two young Christian athletes, that their witness might deepen and strengthen in the years to come.
