As it turns out, people today aren’t the only generation to struggle with worshiping God alone. And I’m not talking about atheists and agnostics here. I’m talking about those who claim to worship God alone but in reality worship God when it’s convenient and seldom at any other time. Most other times they worship other […]
READ MOREAs a student of the scriptures for many, many years (how many is NOYB) and seeing certain biblical issues continue to be debated even a couple thousand years later—I find that (for me) they often fall into one of two categories. Dealbreaker Non-Dealbreaker A lot of times Christians come to the following cute little (and […]
READ MOREIf I told you that my in-laws were 2 of my favorite missionaries most of you would be pretty shocked. I didn’t know your in-laws were missionaries! Where are they missionaries? What foreign land? Do they need prayer? Do they need support? STOP! You’re thinking of missionaries in the more traditional sense. I’m talking about […]

READ MORETonight I was talking with my son, Nathan about what to be when he grows up. He revealed something to me that I have been dreading for quite some time but knew would eventually come. He said, “Dad, sometimes I wish you weren’t a pastor.” Ouch. Now let me clarify before I go any further. […]
READ MOREWe just had a great membership class at both Southbrook Monroe and Southbrook Weddington. And once again, most of the folks were fired up about joining the team to help us fulfill the mission that God has given us to reach those who are far from God. But it doesn’t take long for the class […]
READ MOREIt’s 4:30 am right now and yes, you guessed it—I can’t sleep. But don’t cry for me, Argentina—or Charlotte—or Weddington—or wherever you are. It’s a good thing!
