I was recently cleaning out my book shelves when I came across an old book that looked interesting. It’s called With Christ by Andrew Murray. It’s a daily devotional book, 31 short chapter, all about prayer. Prayer is one of the areas in my walk with Christ where I know that I need to beContinue reading “Teach Us To Pray”

Not to get political but . . .
I’m really glad that I’ve been unable to watch the news for the past few weeks. Because when I turned it on, all I saw was hatred from both parties thrown back and forth.

A Month of Preaching
August at Creekside usually means that Don, our lead pastor, is travelling. He is an avid fisherman, and he uses August as a month to go and wrangle some fish.

I need to be just distracted enough to focus on anything. So I like put musicContinue reading “Soundtrack for Sermon Prep”

It’s quiet and I love it. I need early Sunday mornings because it’s really the only timeContinue reading “Sunday Morning”

My first exposure to Smith’s work was in my second year at Northwest University. I wasContinue reading “Stretching My Brain”
Push or Pull
I’ve been thinking a lot about my job. I’m a pastor at a great church. I love what I do. I love the people I serve. But the question that I keep wrestling with am I supposed to push or pull. Let me explain. I have ideas. I have things that I am passionate about.Continue reading “Push or Pull”
