“Sweat the Small Stuff,†continued… Some people are afraid of dogs. When I was 7 I was one of them. I got bit by a frothing, rabid, mad, lunatic of a dog known as a dachshund. Hard to picture? Remember (those of you rolling on the ground laughing at me right now) I was SEVEN, […]
READ MORELet’s play word association. I say Dog. You say _____. You say up. I say down. Ok, those were too easy. How about this one? I say Titanic. You say _________. Right, Rivets! What? You were thinking more like, iceberg? Okay, okay, so most people would probably say iceberg, but if you did, that probably […]
READ MOREAnother weekend where the services were standing room only! And, as I promised, I issued a challenge to the people to actually be the SALT of the earth that Jesus told us we were. And you responded! Dozens and dozens signed up for classes this coming weekend! Over 50 people showed up at our Southbrook […]
READ MOREThis is actually a follow up to my middle of the night post yesterday, the other side of the same coin… All that restlessness over wolves among sheep…read here to catch up. I’m not finished sorting through this one. I mean, sure we need to be careful to identify wolves because some can merely be […]
READ MOREOh God, please , No! It’s 4:52 AM and I have to preach the first of 3 sermons in just a few hours! I need my sleep! Not buying it? Ok, I’ll get up. And so it goes. It’s familiar territory for me. And whenever I lay in bed with the Lord’s voice whispering over […]
READ MOREHere is the final part to this looooooooong (but hopefully enjoyable and informative) series. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it has a part A and a part B. This is part A. Thought I forgot about it, didn’t you? Well, I didn’t. I just couldn’t quite figure out how to keep […]
READ MOREI’ve never moved a mountain with my faith. No, Mt. Saint Helen’s eruption wasn’t orchestrated by me. As I said, I’ve never moved a mountain… but I believe I could. Don’t be too concerned for my mental health. I do live in reality, but my reality includes a God of the universe who is in […]
READ MORESay that 3x fast! I’m pumped to know that so many men at Southbrook are interested in learning to become the best godly leaders they can possibly be. Here are some of the comments I received from this post last week… Preston says: I look forward to the growth and encouragement. I will pray to […]
READ MOREHuh? Yep, you read that right, ‘Future Hindsight.’ Wouldn’t it be great if hindsight weren’t the only kind of vision that was 20/20? Sure it would, and the good news is that it’s not. I was wresting with this the other day in my quiet time with the Lord. Lately I’ve been going through the […]
READ MOREI don’t know if I’ll be persona non grata or what after today. Conventional wisdom says I should have cut the message short to help with crowd management. Though it has yet to be proven, there’s strong medical evidence that I may have been born with absolutely no conventional wisdom. Unbelievable! It was so humbling […]
