Due to the wonderful generosity of some folks at our new church, I got to spend this afternoon in a suite at Kansas Speedway watching qualifying for the LifeLock 400 which also happens to be one of the races in the Chase for the Nextel Cup. I happen to be a pretty big [...]
Dr. Al Mohler has written a tremendous new article on his blog examining the need for church planting side by side with the need for young pastors to go into existing churches and lead them to growth and vitality. In an era when almost every young pastor I know wants to plant a church (and [...]
This week on Weekend Worship we will highlight a wonderful song by Ross Parsley and the folks at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO. Not only is Ross the worship pastor at New Life, but he also served as the Interim Pastor until they found a new pastor after Pastor [...]
The Edge Christian Fellowship is a church here in St. Joseph that is reaching our community in exciting ways. I’ve begun to get to know the leadership at The Edge and have really enjoyed their insight. The forward thinking guys down at The Edge have worked to produce a daily devotional in audio/video [...]
I was reading the last chapter of Jonah today and was struck by the very last verse.
But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn’t I feel sorry for such a great city?”
As I read that verse, I couldn’t help but think [...]
Just a few weeks ago I wasn’t sure what this football season (for both college and the pro’s) would be like for my two favorite teams, the Gators & Packers. A few weeks in and I am a bit surprised, and very excited! What a day for Favre.
Ever wonder why we act like jump up and down, scream at the top of our lungs, whipped into a frenzy, “charismatic” fanatics on Friday night at the football game but revert to stone faced, hands in our lap, sing if we feel like it, “Baptist” congregants on Sunday morning?
I wonder which message is [...]
Jim Botts has written a tremendous article, albeit a short one, about what it means to get our hands dirty for Christ. I really recommend that you take a look at it. You can do so by clicking here.

Now tell me that this isn’t an incredible video. I am a bit of a proud dad! My daughter Kessed is quite the accomplished prayer warrior.
This week, for our Weekend Worship, I want to highlight a video of Pastor Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA. Driscoll’s presentation is often unorthodox, but his messages are thoroughly biblical. Although I have occasion to disagree with him (on the other hand, who out there won’t I disagree with on occasion?), [...]
Dr. Ed Stetzer has become one of my favorite figures in SBC life over the past 2-3 years. He has a penchant for saying exactly what we need to hear in SBC life regardless of what others may think. We need more denominational leadership willing to do the same.
In a [...]
Well, if you would like a fairly comprehensive list of SBC bloggers, as well as an interesting take on where they each stand, take a look at Les Puryear’s recent post on the topic. While I don’t normally enjoy being called a “middle of the road” guy, in this case I consider it [...]
