The Spin Cycle (Part Two)

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time then you know the drill by now. Whenever I do a series it’s best to go back and read the previous parts in order to avoid thinking I am a schizophrenic (not entirely off base). So, if you haven’t already done so, go here […]

The Spin Cycle (Part One)

I love reading through the gospels. I think every believer ought to try and read through all four gospels at least two times a year. Why all four? Because each is written to a different audience, and each adds perspective to the others. Did you know that? It’s true. Matthew was written to a primarily […]

Round 2, VBS at Southbrook Monroe!

The best VBS ever wrapped up at Southbrook’s central campus last week. Nearly 400 kids participated in it and more importantly, 74 of them asked Jesus into their hearts! That’s the number that really counts! Praise Jesus! And thanks to all the volunteers who gave hours and hours of their time to make the week […]

Kids are extra special because their young hearts are still tender toward God and their faith is still growing. These kids wrote their names as a sign of their commitment to Jesus. We’ll […]

Feel the Power!

VBS — Greater than ever! This year’s VBS is by far the best I’ve ever seen at Southbrook Church! After last year I would have thought our volunteers would be hard pressed to do better, but they’ve raised the bar again! 10 notches! And they say a picture is worth a thousand words so, here […]

Champion of the Week

Last week my son and I wrapped up another great season of soccer with one major difference from the previous 7. This year he played for the Southbrook Legacy Sports league! At first I was a bit skeptical about putting him in this league. Afterall, he’s played several years of fairly competitive soccer and this […]

If a Tree Falls Down in the Middle of a Forest…

…with no one around. Was it ever really there? This is one of the great time wasters of philosophy 101 class. But today a church planter seemed discouraged enough to ask a question that struck me much the same. And this time I did not see it as a waste of time. “My church is […]

One Prayer!

I’m still amazed by the entire concept of this “One Prayer” undertaking. Stop and think about this for a moment. More than 1500 chruches now (they are still joining this thing) and close to a million people completely unified in their desire to see God do great things for His glory and honor! Today we […]
