If you need to catch up on this line of thought, first go here, then here. So, Seminary or Cemetery (as some would call it)? Both. Yep, that’s my answer and I’m sticking to it. But since you’ve been nice enough to stay with me these three posts, I’ll even tell you why. The simple […]
READ MORESo… Good or bad? (Read here to catch up). Maybe my own reasoning would help. I knew without much doubt that I was called to ministry at about 14 years of age. It really solidified at a place called “Word of Life” in Schroon Lake, New York. Not the snake handling, pew jumping, swooning, Word […]
READ MOREThis is a tough one. These days it’s thought to be a pretty funny rip in a sermon to make fun of Seminary by accidentally calling it, “Cemetery.” Ah, Ha, Ha, Ha Ha! Wheeew. Get it? Man that was funny. Or, maybe not. I’ve used this joke a time of two. Because I’m kinda double-minded […]
READ MOREToday we officially gave our new building to God. Oh, it was always His anyway, but it helps to remind ourselves of that fact every so often.

Well, I’ve endured church splits, church split attempts, the attempt of attempting a church split (just kidding), irate people, slander, gossip, anonymous (sniper) comment cards, threats (direct and indirect), false accusations, sniper letters sent to people, phone calls, secret meetings, made up stories, my […]
READ MORELove him or hate him, there’s one thing you gotta admit about President George W. Bush. He doesn’t do anything for the approval of others. Seriously, have you ever seen a leader stick by his convictions no matter what anyone thinks to the contrary? He borders on stubborn with this pitbull like tenacity (some would […]
READ MOREI understand that my blog emails have gone kaput. Please be patient while we work on the problem. We’ll be back up and running as soon as we can. Pastor Rob
READ MOREToday was one of the most intense and exhausting days I have ever had in ministry. And I had it easy. First I had to film our message for the Worldwide “One Prayer” event that will see well over half a million people worshiping as one and nearly a thousand churches participating. We got our video message […]
READ MOREThis was a very special Mother’s Day in that we had a celebrity in the house. Well, a celebrity in the Singleton household anyway. My wife, Michelle knocked it out of the park as she challenged the women of Southbrook to “Rethink Motherhood.†And she set the stage for our upcoming series, “Tough Choices—Great Rewards!†[…]
