Sometimes I read the news and want to go smite people. Usually the smiting is directed at pastors who do dumb, horrible things or say ridiculous things and put Jesus’ name on their statements. It’s a good thing that I’m not God and don’t have any kind of smiting ability. I get so frustrated whenContinue reading “Pastors who Hate”

Questions from Sunday
On Sunday mornings we invite creekside folks to ask questions via text message. Here are two from this week: What about companies tithing? When I was growing up our church did an annual blessing of the businesses. We prayed for our local business owners and encouraged them to lead their businesses on biblical principles.

Happy St. Patty’s Day
Mark Driscoll has a great post on St. Patrick. I would recommend everyone read it. . . . Go ahead, read it.
The Prophet Like Moses = Jesus
This was a pretty cool happening. In my bible reading this morning I read Deuteronomy 18 which talks about the Prophet like Moses, and Mark 13, where Jesus is speaking as a prophet in the temple. Pretty awesome “coincidence.” Thanks Biblegateway.com A New Prophet like Moses 15 “The LORD your God will raise up forContinue reading “The Prophet Like Moses = Jesus”

Perhaps now is the time for the church to come back to talking moreContinue reading “The Roles of the Holy Spirit”

the Reason for God – Review
Tim Keller is a brilliant evangelical mind. With the heart of a pastor he writes a powerful, yet simple apologetic for the Christian faith. The book is divided into two parts. The first part looks at several of the protests against the Christian faith (and faith in general). Keller does a masterful work at lookContinue reading “the Reason for God – Review”
Chew on This for the weekend
I was perusing the blog-o-verse today and I came across this thought from Peter Blue, who is a worship leader in Canvas and serves at Cedar Park. Peter was the worship leader in youth group when I was growing up and he was always a huge encouragement in my life, as well as someone whoContinue reading “Chew on This for the weekend”

The God Who Smokes is a refreshing look at theology through Timothy Stoner’s personal experiences. All of theology should apply to life and when you read The God Who Smokes I believe you will see all the various ways that God is talking to and revealing himself to you.
