The other day I was reading in the Psalms and I came upon a curious passage in Pslam 56. At first it seemed much like other Davidic psalms that have David crying out to God for rescue from his enemies. On closer examination, however, these enemies are even worse.  Or better  I guess […]
READ MOREI’ve noticed over the years that God never uses, “Should Have’s.” What’s a “Should Have?” ‘I should have been on the praise team!’ ‘I should have been the pastor!’ ‘I should have been an elder!’ ‘I should have lead that project—I could have done so much better!’ It should have been me instead of […]
READ MOREI’ve noticed that a lot of pastors (me included) seem to put a disproportionate amount of weight upon the opinions of the ‘already convinced.’ Now don’t get me wrong—obviously, in any purposeful, godly, biblical church the leadership had better be, ‘already convinced.’ But I’m not talking about those who became convinced that Jesus is […]
READ MOREOk, so this event probably breaks the record in being a looooooong time coming. The point is, IT’S HERE!! This coming Sunday is not only the GRAND OPENING of our facility in Monroe, but also marks the week they join the Weddington campus in the time/space continuum!

READ MOREYesterday was my favorite day of worship yet at Southbrook Church! I will be posting some videos and more pictures of it a bit later, but here are some to get you started. We’ll be doing this again real soon! It was that off the hook! Everybody was ready for the crowds long before they […]
READ MOREPsalm 71 basically picks right off where 70 ended—the whole idea of being a living example for God. The difference in this psalm is that the psalmist wants to make sure he finishes strong. I do too, don’t you? In fact, people don’t put near enough stock in the finish line of this race called […]
READ MOREEveryone lives for something—even those who try to be so stinkin PC in everything they say and do are living for something. Political Correctness is the one case where nothing gets counted as something. Something negative. Usually, about midway through life you can get a read on what type of an example […]
READ MOREThis coming weekend is going to be one of the best ever at Southbrook! Our second praise and worship CD has arrived and will be available at the Southbrook store out in the front lobby area! But here is the really cool thing. In order to celebrate the release of “Southbrook Live,” we are going […]
READ MOREWhen I turned 12 there must have been a weird misalignment of the planets because my birthday came and went with scarcely a mention. Seriously, it was like I was invisible or something! Ok, boo hoo, I know. Get it all out now cause I’m okay with it. It’s amazing what 30 years […]
READ MOREA few days ago I was reading in my quiet time about how King David constantly had to deal with fickle “friends.” And I use the term, “friends” in the loosest possible way. Here is the Psalm I was reading: 1 Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck. 2 Deeper and deeper I […]
