Remember this guy? For the last 2 days I’ve felt a lot like him. Allow me to explain. I’m not talking about wanting to run off and live in the woods (although I’m sure the thought sounds tempting for most pastors from time to time.). I’m talking about having to learn how to take […]
READ MOREWhat a week we had @ Southbrook church! Before anything else let me share with you the greatest news of all—85 people gave their lives to Jesus Christ this weekend! That’s the greatest miracle of them all—a life transformed!—a former hellbounder who is now a part of God’s own family! Go God!! It’s been a […]
READ MOREYesterday I talked about the methods false teachers and dangerously divisive people use to keep their followers in line. You can read about it here. Today—despite the strong arm tactics of these people—I want to show you an easy way out. Take one day—just one day—and do the very things they told you not to. […]
READ MOREBefore we dive into the post, indulge me please, and click here if you are a Southbrook regular. Want to keep your deception alive? Take your lead from the world’s largest, most established cults. A ‘cult’ BTW, is different from a religion—we can talk about those another time. But a cult actually begins with a little […]

For example, as I finished the book of Joshua this morning I was struck at how much of it most people never heard of verses the popular verses most believers know—even by heart. Many […]
READ MOREJust realized that I wasn’t going to let a little thing like “Sunday Evening” pigeonhole me with these “Mind Dumps.” Therefore, I introduce to you the (drum roll please)… Mid-Monday Mind Dump—a one time only (or not) down-loading of what’s on my mind. Got all great things planned for our “Diary of a Wimpy Christian” […]
READ MORELife is really about seasons you go through (or, maybe I should say, ‘your attitude going through these certain seasons!)—some good, some bad. Some joyful, some sad. No, I’m not trying to be a poet or something—we all know this is true though. It’s called ‘life.’ Well these days life is good on […]
READ MOREFor part 1 of this series, click here. Now, let’s see just how rotten one apple can make the whole bunch. The Israelites were thoroughly enjoying their brief stint as number 1 in the promised land when all of the sudden (or so it must have seemed) God went cold on them. They seemed to […]
