Well, night 1 of our Spring Into Missions weekend has come and gone.
We started tonight with FaceDown Prayer and Worship. The worship was amazing AND we really sought God’s face for the missionaries we were praying for. Thanks to Rochelle and Vince for putting tonight together. It was awesome.
The Lord hit me with I Peter [...]

Me or One of the Marks – Driscoll, Batterson, etc.

As I was traveling over the weekend I listened to a few sermons from a wide variety of pastors: Charles Stanley, Jon Weece (Southland Christian Church) and Mark Driscoll.
Driscoll had an excellent sermon on the Cross from his doctrine series – if you don’t mind the fact that he used the phrase “I don’t give [...]

I am posting this on Sunday night instead of Monday morning because I will be on my way to WV on Monday morning to pick up Max. Sydney is going with me and it will be good to have the company of my little girl!
What a great day it has been. When the second worship gathering [...]
Back from Them Thar Hills

Well, I’m back from West Virginia. Had a nice couple of days there. Max and I had a good time together. He listened to The Magic Tree House, Just So Stories (Rudyard Kipling), Geronimo Stilton and Stink (Junie B. Jones little brother) on his I-Pod. Apparently he spent most of his time with The Magic [...]
Get the Joy Out

The discipleship team at GCF recently decided that during the Easter Season (between yesterday and Pentecost Sunday at the end of May) that we would focus on joy as a church-wide theme.
I just finished doing a bit of searching at Amazon.com to find out what books on joy are floating around out in the world. [...]
Straight to the Hips (actually the waist)
Posted in Culture, Family, Life, Ministry on March 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A few years ago there was a relatively well-known commercial for Special-K cereal. The add featured blue-collar, middle class men saying things like, “Do these jeans make my hips look big?” The idea behind the add was that men don’t talk about things like that. Consequently, if women would only buy and eat Special K [...]
A Disgusting Chain Reaction

Well, I was supposed to leave for West Virginia in about 45 minutes with Max to go and pick up an LCD-TV that my parents bought for us. Thanks, Mom and Dad! Unforunately, I got a call at about 9am that Max had thrown up at school.
I picked him up, got him some Motrin and [...]
Sermons that Change the Congregation or Sermons that Change the Preacher?
Posted in Christianity, Jesus, Life, Ministry, Religion, Theology, church on February 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have two upcoming sermon series that are teaching me something simple and yet somehow very new (at least new to me).
Some time ago I decided that I would do a two part series called Busting the Money Myth and then a series during Lent that focused on hope. This series will be called The Anchor, [...]
Come On, Hope!

We are about three weeks away from starting a new series of messages at GCF. Called, The Anchor, this series will be based on Hebrews 6.16-18 and will take us through 6 weeks of talking about hope.
As I was sitting in Panera this morning with my Bible open, a blank legal pad and some notes [...]
Cabin Fever

If you’re from somewhere further north than Lexington, Kentucky feel free to ridicule and laugh as you read on . . .
Seldom do we have a serious snow fall here in central Kentucky. I’ve lived here for 10 years and have seen nothing like the snowfalls I can remember growing up in West Virginia. We [...]
