Forgotten God

I finished Francis Chan’s Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit this morning.  Chan has done an incredible job of exploring the topic of the Holy Spirit in a way that is profoundly meaningful yet very readable.  I highly recommend this book to everyone.  I’m sure there are plenty of reviews online [...]

The Overflow

I was reminded of Luke 6:43-45 yesterday while watching SportsCenter (see it has significant spiritual value) – The Message paraphrases it this way, “You don’t get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your [...]

Tony Dungy is a Stud

Michael Vick doesn’t have many fans these days, most people would probably like to see him fade out of public eye and only remember him when there is an opportune time for a joke be it dog fighting, Ron Mexico, or some other poor decision related (guilty – I’ve landed my fair share at Vick’s [...]

But that’s Friday, and Sunday’s a comin’. Friday, Mary’s crying her eyes out, the disciples are running in every direction like sheep [...]

Muscians Have Tough Lives

My buddy Davis, who is a stud keyboardist, trombonist, and all around great guy, has recently been playing with Kristian Stanfill’s band at a few worship events.  This video is from one of those events and I thought it was hilarious, hopefully you will too.

MLK and Obama

Seems very fitting that Barack Obama would be inaugurated the day after we remember and celebrate the life of Martin Luther King Jr. This is a huge day in the history of the United States and I hope that it serves to give all people a new hope and a new sense of equality for [...]

Who Would Jesus Smack Down?

  Interesting article on Mark Driscoll by the NYT.  Goes to show how wide of a tradtion Christianity has, lots of stuff here that made me cringe. Here are a couple: – “The mainstream church, Driscoll has written, has transformed Jesus into “a Richard Simmons, hippie, queer Christ,”  . . . would never talk about [...]
