Challenge

Monday, January 29th, 2007

Anyone else see this stuff on the blasphemy challenge?  There is a web site and about 700 youtube videos of people saying that they deny the existence of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. 
It breaks my heart to see all these people, mostly teens, denying the existence of God.  Even worse to me is many […]

Blessed and luv’in it!

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

The church that I am one of the pastors at is currently in the end phase of renovation of the worship center of the church.  It has been a couple of months or more that we have been using the Gym for worship.  Humanly speaking we thought that we might lose some of the momentum that […]

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Did anyone else watch this and if you did what are your thoughts?

Bible Versions

Friday, January 12th, 2007

What is your favorite verison of the Bible and why? 
I just find it interesting what people like.  I am partial to the Message but I also like the New American Standard Version.  I like the Message for its readablitity and it makes the text fresh.  I know that it is not the most accurate but […]

Letting myself go

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

I do not know how many are David Crowder Band fans but I am.  I have really fallen in love with the lyrics and music on the cd A Collison or (3+4=7).  There are a number of songs that cause me to cry out to God but the one that has recently struck a chord in […]

Ministry can be hard

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

I thought that I might write something that is more serious than the last post.  I would like to share one of the hardest weeks I have ever had in ministry.  This past September I started a new CARE Group (what we at my church call our house churches or small groups).  I lead this […]
