Xtreme Living — Part 2 — Spiritually Dead

This isn’t a real post. Sorry if you feel mislead. Sorry if you feel victimized by the old bait and switch, but the fact is, there is no such thing as spiritually dead for the believer. “Aha”! Some of you feel you’ve trapped me early on (theology profs., enlightened pastors, learned priests and self taught […]

Out of the Overflow

  It’s 5:20 am right now and I couldn’t sleep. It’s a good thing. You ever have one of those mornings where you’re just overcome with the joy of the Lord? Where God wakes you up just to talk? No, I’m not nuts. At least not for that reason. Well, I am having one of […]

Xtreme living

Remember the old, Xmen posts I did? By old I actually mean, about a month ago. Well I’ve got a lot more to say on this deal for all the masses who read this blog. Seriously, you should both get a lot out of this.   Well, even though those posts were in reference to men and […]

Just a thought, but a pretty good one!

I absolutely love this! The other day a friend of mine put something (that has been on my heart) very well! I couldn’t agree more! I don’t know if it originated with him but it doesn’t matter. It’s right on and we ALL should live like this!

Confess or Acknowledge? Part 2

Can you believe I’m writing on this? Can you believe you’re reading it? It’s sad but true, Christians today are opting out of confessing their sins right and left. It just isn’t the postmodern thing to do I guess. And what is? Well, we can’t simply sweep the crap we do to each other under […]

Confess or Acknowledge? Part 1

You might think this question is a bit of a no-brainer, and I must say…   It should be.   Even a casual reading of God’s Word makes it obvious that God does not find these two terms to be interchangeable.   But here’s the rub…Christians do!   Actually it’s worse than that. They don’t […]

Top 8 Signs you’ve waited too long to birth

I’ve never shared this with you all before, but, for what it’s worth, here’s what I believe is the single greatest killer of small group ministries across the nation.   It’s not a deadly virus.   It’s not a lack of enthusiasm.   It’s not an unwillingness to meet in homes.   It’s not a […]

Frivolous Friendships Finally Finished.

Last time we discovered the obvious together (actually, you already knew, but I had to be reminded that)…     “I show signs of a “work in progress.”   Hey, at least I admit it.   Do you?   Actually, we all do. The dream may often come fast, but then, before that dream is […]

If I hear this one more time, I’ll have to join Perry Noble and the, ‘throat punchers anonymous’ club! Sopranos Style! Part 2

Thought I forgot this one didn’t you? Thought I got fired up about pounding on the one, ‘bad egg’ lay leader while forgetting the all too common, ‘pastor run amok,’ didn’t you? It’s ok, maybe you don’t know me that well yet. If you did then you’d realize I try my best to be an […]
