I’m jealous. There, I said it. And jealousy is a sin, so…all in all, not a great start to a post by a pastor. Hopefully, you’ll stick around for the explanation. There is a family in Southbrook that I love dearly and our time with them is short because they are heading back to the […]
READ MOREThis mind dump is going to be just that—a backing up of the dump-truck (beep, beep, beep) and a depositing of what’s on my mind and heart. It’s what all my “Sunday Evening Mind Dumps” have been over the last couple years—only I just checked and I haven’t posted one of these (I was going […]
READ MOREThe question has come up now more than once. Obviously, there are folks on both sides and theories abound. Was a 16 minute church service followed by a day of sending everyone out across Charlotte and Union County—to SERVE others—a good or bad idea? Seriously? I’m blown away that anyone thinks it’s a bad idea, […]
READ MOREWhy do some people blow off little children as though they were no more than a nuisance? Truth? They ‘get it’ better than 90 percent of the adults I know—including me! Children are not yet cynical like their larger, grumpier counterparts. Future men still believe they can take on the world—unlike their PC counterpart—men. Future […]
READ MOREThe Ancient Future These days have a lot of people cowering in fear and asking, ‘what’s to become of us?’ The dollar isn’t worth squat. Social security is neither. Medicare has been through more make overs than Cher—I’d say about 10 different chapters in the life of this quirky health insurance plan. Hmm, what chapter […]
READ MOREWould it be too harsh to wish that all professional tweeters would have their armpits infested with the fleas of a thousand camels? Before you judge, know that I’m talking about the people who feel compelled to update every 2.7 second (roughly the same time I could stay on a bull named Fumanchu without getting […]
READ MOREI’m thrilled about diving back into another book of the Bible at Southbrook Church! It all begins this weekend with… DIVINE The Gospel According to John This will be (as it sounds) a journey through the entire gospel of John in a way you’ve never experienced it before! Come join us as the […]
READ MORERemember Benjamin in the movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? He grew younger instead of older! Could you imagine that in the Christian life? Well, it happens more than you know. I talked about this a week or so ago and left off with these words… “It’s like that when Christ followers stop growing […]
READ MOREOne day—during the first year of Jesus’ earthly ministry—He taught a doosey of a series on what it really means to be a disciple. What follows is a small representation of such teaching: 35-38Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I […]
READ MOREI gotta hand it to Tony Morgan. Oft times he says what everyone else is thinking. His most recent came in the form of a widdled down job retention statement. There had been times in his life where (as a CEO or Executive Pastor) he’d boiled down staff qualifications to 20 things or 10 things […]
