Wisdom gives me a concussion sometimes

THIS POST talks about getting concussions from crushing G forces and I feel like I get a mental concussion every time I read the wisdom on this blog, this blog, this blog, and this blog.  I feel like my head is being slammed into the reality of the knowledge I have yet to learn!
This is [...]

Denzel Washington keeping the Faith in Hollywood

I tried not posted the whole article but it is REALLY GOOD!!!
Denzel is by far my favorite actor and this article title “Keeping the faith” seals the deal.  Man on Fire is my favorite movie of all time.
Some excerpts in the article read:
“Denzel Washington is more than just an Oscar-winning superstar. He’s a Christian who’s [...]

Church, where is our relentless pursuit?

I was talking to some Student Ministry folks a couple of weeks ago who were frustrated with their current enviornment in their church.  They felt like the overall church culture didn’t give them enough freedom to make some of the changes they wanted and needed to make in the student ministry to reach their desired [...]

Will you be faithful?

Will you be faithful?

This post really helped me  READ IT HERE

One thing you NEVER outgrow

One thing you NEVER outgrow

I was listening to John Piper the other day and he said one of the most profound things I’ve EVER heard.  He said, 
“YOU NEVER OUTGROW YOUR NEED FOR THE GOSPEL”
Enough said.

What's your temperature?

What’s your temperature?

Craig Groeschel recently said this at Catalyst West: 
“Lukewarm pastors build lukewarm churches.”
BRILLIANT!
Here’s my question:  If you’re lukewarm shouldn’t you do something about it?

Here’s another graphic someone made.  I like it. Pretty clever with hot and cold faucets [...]
