THE U.S. A CHRISTIAN NATION?With all due respect to Dutch Sheets' recent comments re. President Obama (both of whom I appreciate and am commanded to love and pray for by the way) my response to worries about the slippery slope of government moving us away from being a "Christian nation" is simple: no political leader or group of them somehow causes a nation to be or cease being a truly

GOOD FRIDAYWhat a day. What a sad, tragic but wonderful day. For Jesus to know me as I am and still love me, sacrifice Himself for me is just plain amazing.And thank God it didn't remain Friday but finally Sunday came around!We know a number of things from the scriptural account of Jesus' death and resurrection- two of them are that the sky was pitch-black dark and in full storm mode at high noon

THE GIFT OF SILENCEWhen I was in my teens and even earlier I loved radios. I always had a few of them, AM and eventually FM as well as shortwave. Well, truth is I still love 'em.I always loved hearing other people's views from overseas and always listened to music then. Like many boomers I listened to music almost non-stop on a little transistor radio that was small enough to put under my pillow

It's been a long time so I can't remember if he was offered an endorsement deal or had just bought a huge guitar amplifier, but in any case,he had a monster of an amp and wanted me to help him try it out.He lived in the country and had almost no neighbors.

EV. COVENANT MIDWINTER MEETING THOUGHTSThis week several of our pastors at JPUSA (myself included) are attending Midwinter meetings that happen annually for our denomination, The Evangelical Covenant Church. It's always a blast to see old friends and make news ones, the teaching and ministry times are often quite deep and challenging, but one of the best parts for me is the continual openness of

Then again, you may want to get to know me better so here's some journal entry rap for you.

The grandkids were amazing, really fun to watch and I got loads of pics.Wendi and I had and are having a great time both visiting, resting, and today I got a couple of her gifts hung up (created some wall-hangers for our tray tables). Tomorrow

Tonight GKB does a short blues/rock set, then switches to Christmas songs with Ami Moss and Scott Knies joining us with other artists (Leper, Aracely & Hilde Bialach from JPUSA/Grrr Records) for a Christmas concert at our Cornerstone Community Outreach for homeless families and kids who are residents

DEC. 14 UPDATESo it seems the "Values, Values, Values" article is trashed somehow... I'll ask my webfolks to fix it! Thanks to Rod for alerting me. Argggh.I've been considering -not- doing a new website due to the investment in time and admin'ing another site... and Facebook (which I'm on) sometimes allows me more time, the chat feature and such... I may just focus on that and this site mainly.

DECEMBER 1 UPDATEHad An Issue... with a website change here (at this here glennkaiser.com) where the Blogger connection wasn't changed also, thereby cancelling out my Thanksgiving greetings to all! But hey, here we are, all is working again.Great shows (that is, we had a blast and a good many kind folks showed up) at Bloomington, Illinois and Festus, Missouri... and am having fun including Wendi

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!For all, especially in the U.S.:In a rough economy, perhaps not having the one you wanted elected about to take office, wars in the world, inner-city needs and more and more layoffs, we really must take a moment to thank God for HIS presence and interaction in our lives and the lives of our loved ones.For any sort of good health, for the freedom to pray, read our Bibles and

GARBAGEYesterday was a rough day. Not really rough, but for meit was less than smooth and peaceful. After a great ministrytrip to a couple churches in west-central Illinois, Wendi and I camehome late night to Chicago. As I got our gear back in our room andlooked into our bathroom I remembered the two rather large (one istruly gargantuan!) ferns that were 1. hanging on the shower curtainrail over

ELECTION TIME IN THE U.S.Once again we come to an election cycle in the U.S.A.. Please pray, get out and vote your conscience and above all, trust God with the results.

Greetings from Project 12's (JPUSA-based Bible/Discipleship School) Orientation Week at Cornerstone Farm!Wendi, myself and a number of our instructors are out with the new class for a week praying, learning and socializing together, beginning to bond for a good 10 months of spiritual growth.

GKB @ STURGIS, SOUTH DAKOTA BIKE RALLY and more...The band took the long ride (two days) up to Sturgis and was warmly welcomed and kindly served by Don and Rhea Overby and team from the Christian Motorcyclists Association. They'd rented a house where several of the artists stayed while most of the team camped out or stayed in r.v.'s all around it. For half of the front yard right off the porch,

GKB- A Note From The TourThanks for your prayers- we do 2 shows daily (2 and 7 pm Aug. 2, 3, 4) at the world's largest motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. It will be hot but hopefully not totally baking. We'll also jam some with old friend Larry Howard. There are a number of other musicians there who love Jesus- so thanks for prayer support for all of these/this and hope to see some of you

Cornerstone Festival '08- After The StormHa, actually, there WAS no storm this year- in fact in our 25th anniversary year we saw the absolute best weather anyone could remember! And with gas prices as they are in the U.S., we of course had concern about attendance in terms of what sort of financial hit we might have had. The numbers of people were only slightly down and between that and careful

I loved him and will miss him!The day after he passed my Wendi and I celebrated our 36th anniversary.

MUSICIANS and ALLTHE words we want to hear from Jesus at the end of our life on this planet are: "Well done you good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord".(Mt. 25.21 & 23) The two character points are "good" and "faithful" not "popular" and "successful". Then He links those two key things with the term "servant"... which is the only job description given to each and every

People are sick who do things to bring pain upon themselves... but a sure mark of a true hero is one who takes pain so that others might escape it.Jesus is The Hero of all Heroes, in part, due to all He took upon Himself for the sake of love for us. This coming Friday is "good" because He Who knew no sin became sin for US- with each and

LARRY NORMANThe two most influential comets that ever passed through my spiritual music solar system were Larry Norman and Keith Green. I mention Keith because in for me, he and Larry are the Christian musical "giants" in terms of real impact.We lost Larry this past week. I knew him fairly well. Suffice it to say he was (in my view, only exceeded by Bruce Cockburn) the finest spiritual-core

AN INFORMED & EXPERIMENTAL LIFEI try not to spend huge bit of time with broader church controversies and also try to temper (bring balance) to discussions of such. My "ground of truth" is The Bible, mostly but not always what seems the common interpretation of it's texts based on study, what most believers have written over the centuries as well as presently about a topic/doctrine, church history

Just Another Year?Perhaps. And perhaps not. None of us knows what awaits us and the truth is that many get caught up in a continuum of time-wasting pursuits that have little to do with... truth. Or Jesus. Or caring for the poor, minorities or really, much of anything beyond mere survival.I am approaching my 37th spiritual birthday.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONSThere's no need to spiritualize Christmas trees, ribbons and bows or mistletoe or a zillion other things related to celebration of the Lord's birth which followers of the Christ-child have done for over a thousand years. Some think it quite ungodly, worldly and pagan to put out special candles and etc. over Christmas. We neither worship nor condemn Christmas trees! I'm

VACATION NOTES-Yep, Wendi and I got a vacation this year- and each year for two weeks... but we're able to spend it this year, right when all the autumn colors have been changing, the deer and other wildlife are all over C'stone Farm, the nights are cool and good for cuddling, and the cook (Wendi!) is both beautiful and incredibly good at low-carb meals. Let's just say It's been a REALLY good

MID-OCTOBER '07- BITS & PIECESProject 12 is rockin' very sweetly, very good group and the instructors and staff are blessed with all God is doing among us. JPUSA is sure a gift to us and I'm SO thankful for our dear pastors, friends, co-workers.GKB is about to listen to a LOT of tunes- Roy has written over 100, I just finished a dozen in the past 3 days (demoing 'em) and we plan to record early

Just home from P12 Orientation week which took place at Cornerstone Farm!It was truly deep and blessed on all levels. Great weather, fellowship, fun, rocking teaching and best of all (in my view) very honest and open responses- even to the most challenging teachings and circumstances. All of us- staff included- got our “boats rocked”.What I want to share in this blog is simply that such honesty

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY WANT?Some years ago things became rather clear, at least in my view: if you help affirm someone or at least support them in getting whatever it may be they want or believe they should have you're a hero. Conversely if it seems you cannot in good conscience help them in their quest, you're a goat.There are many difficulties in any family, band, church staff/choir/

GUILT TRIPPING ANYONE?My wife and I had a fuss last night. It was over a computer problem she had on her machine. In a nutshell, I was frustrated and wanted to figure it out, she was frustrated and wanted to offer suggestions as to what was wrong and how it might be fixed. In short, we were both impatient and I got angry.By God's grace, I don't usually get as upset as I did last night. After

SUMMER HEATHome with Wendi, family and JPUSA family at last! A LOT of touring going on (as usual this time of year) and today I flew in from a Biker's Rally in Kansas. In a few days I'm pleased to share some acoustic blues and a bit of rap at Karitos (a very cool and annual arts/worship conference in the greater Chicago area) and will be glad to just be home for our JPUSA Sunday services after

SICK CHURCH?In case you find yourself wondering- this post wasn't inspired by any one individual but by many I have known- and I expect to know many more like 'em!Before I begin, let me say that if you don't have the following hurting people in your fellowship, you aren't where any serious church should be. If you don't attract hurting people in your church you're church isn't as healthy as it

35th Anniversary!What a time Wendi and I will have! Not just a fun time at a hotel, at a Lake Michigan beach for a couple days, not only due to a good book, a swim, a smile, laugh or great personal time together with the cell phone turned off...All of these are great but you can have such experiences without God's love, without Jesus Christ at the center of your relationship and/or experiences.

As I've written in my update section, we've entered the touring season now so my emails both pick up to the point of HUGE volume of emails as well as having less time online myself, so answering 'em all can be tough to impossible.

It seems we've got a load of work ahead of us with touring, Cornerstone Festival (Bushnell) and trips to Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

FAITH & TRUST REBELS FIND A HOMEThe Christian life is all about faith. Not blind faith in the complete sense, but it indeed takes time for -any- relationship to be tested, even a relationship between yourself and God, certainly between yourself and others in some sort of local gathering.Will God always give you what you want when you want it, the way you want it? Because He's perfect and we're

THEORY & EXPERIENCE (PRACTICE) There is a tendency that many a Christian falls into, and not only the very new or immature believer: "getting" a theory equals getting a life. Not so.Then there's "the other side of the coin": "If I experience it, it's real and somehow Always lines up with what the Bible ultimately says and God is therefore automatically pleased". This is also flawed.If you think

The Mundane & The ExoticLong ago I learned not to trust the exotic- but also to not hide in the mundane. It became clear to me that God moves in extravagant ways as well as within "the typical". That which produces wonder in us is no mystery to Him while that which we consider so banal we judge it without value is powerless to lock His Spirit out.If, as Paul wrote, "in all things God works for

MacRina WiederkehrYou may or may not know, but I have always put my ear to a wide variety of writers and speakers throughout my walk with Jesus. We'll of course agree and disagree on various points, but hearing God speak through others is a huge lesson in humility. St. Benedict had a lot to say about that, and I want to intro. you to someone from the Order of St. Benedict. By the way, if you've

The Problem With "Truth"Please know I'm only "scratching the surface" of this topic... a bit of thinking out loud here :)A current Project 12 class is dealing with "truth & perspective", the differences and the way actual truth affects one's perspective and vice-versa. Deep stuff and worth considering when one cares about life in this world and events that shape it.On a recent Christian leader's

TRANSITIONS One way of looking at life is that it indeed is a series of transitions. From 2006 to 2007, childhood to teen years, teens to twenties and so on. From single to married, childless to childbearing and child-raising. The cycle of change and transition happens to us all. This new year you may begin ill and end up in heaven, begin ill and end up healed! You may begin
