From the monthly archives: April 2009
After spending a few days in lovely Branson, Missouri, I arrived back in St. Joseph and got caught up on the news occurring in SBC life and noticed that the Great Commission Resurgence continues to strike a chord of interest among many, many Southern Baptists. Since released by SBC President, Johnny Hunt, on Monday, [...]
One thing I have learned, as I have been preaching now for 13 years, is that there are some days when God simply anoints the message and moves in a special way through the message. Those of you who also preach are certainly familiar with what I mean. This past Sunday, particularly in the 2nd [...]
This morning Dr. Johnny Hunt, of First Baptist Woodstock, GA and the current President of the SBC, released a declaration entitled “Toward a Great Commission Resurgence”. The purpose of the declaration is to unite Southern Baptists around a common cause of initiating positive, and lasting renewal of our focus on the Great Commission. Dr. Danny [...]
I have heard this song multiple times recently and have enjoyed worshiping along with it so I set out today to find out more about it. I found that it is performed by the worship team at Cape First, an Assembly of God church in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I hope you enjoy it like I [...]
Last October we had the privilege of hosting Dave Gibbons, of NewSong Church in Irvine, California, as one of our guest speakers at Frederick Boulevard for our GO Conference. While I didn’t know of Dave prior to the conference, Bob Roberts had recommended him to us and so we were excited [...]
Anyone who knows me for any length of time knows that I’m a HUGE Kansas City Royals fan. In most seasons this is a laughable concession, but this year we Royals fans have great hope for our Boys in Blue – and much of the national media seems to agree. Two weeks in and [...]
My friend Douglas Baker has just published an article for the North Carolina Baptist Convention that highlights Dr. Danny Akin’s message, “Axioms of a Great Commission Resurgence” that I highlighted yesterday. I cannot stress enough how significant I believe this movement will be to the future existence of our denomination. I would encourage you to [...]
As I mentioned in my last post, I have been greatly anticipating Dr. Danny Akin’s upcoming message on the Great Commission Resurgence. He delivered that message this morning in the chapel service at Southeastern Seminary and I am excited to post both the audio and the video as well as manuscript of the message.
Axioms [...]
For some time we have been hearing about the need for a Great Commission Resurgence and yet this concept has remained significantly abstract. There is little doubt that our Convention is in need of significant repair, but the question we have been asking is in regards to what form that repair will take. Dr. [...]
What an exciting day! There is no greater day of the year, in my opinion, than the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior! I am so excited about our worship today. Chad and the worship team outdid themselves leading us this morning. I don’t know if I’ve ever been in a service as [...]
My little girls are growing so fast, sometimes it’s amazing to me. For instance I took this picture tonight after Sarah Grace got a haircut. She looks so much older to me which unfortunately reminds me that I’m getting older and older.
Nonetheless I love my little girls and I love sharing their pictures with [...]
What an incredible week this is! I have thought much this week about our Savior and His resurrection. How encouraging it is to think much about His triumph over death. This week for Weekend Worship I want to share two dramatically different videos with you, but videos which share a common thread of hope in [...]
