Today I am tired. Partly because I took my brother in law to the airport at 4:30 am. But also because yesterday was a busy day at Creekside. We had 5 baptisms, a baby dedication and a BBQ. So we had a packed day. Saturday I learned how to set-up the baptismal. It’s not fun,Continue reading “Worth It”

So many things I could say about this picture. The first thing that came to my mind was, is this what your church looks like? Add the four bases, add some front door living room, kitchen, get your purposes in there, and of course you need to launch multi-site right now. Just because you canContinue reading
Spectator or Contributor?
I hate to watch baseball, but I have fun playing baseball. I suck though so you probably shouldn’t invite me to be on your league team. I love to watch football, but I’d rather play. Bottom line is I would rather be a contributor than a spectator. I would rather know that I had aContinue reading “Spectator or Contributor?”
Church Prayer . . . Moms’ Day
Today I had the privilege to pray during our church service, every time I get to pray is a privilege. Sometimes I know exactly what I am supposed to pray, and other times I don’t know and I start praying and God talks to me while I’m praying. It sounds weird I know, and IContinue reading “Church Prayer . . . Moms’ Day”
Some Blog Thoughts
Los is back with a great post here. of particular note is #4. I wonder if modern day Christian leaders are more concerned about becoming famous than becoming Jesus? And here’s a quote from Will Wilimon “The gospel is not simply about meeting people’s needs. The gospel is also a critique of our needs, anContinue reading “Some Blog Thoughts”
“Just Be Blessin'”
Great Post from Ben Arment. On the blessing of God on churches. I think part of the problem is our understanding of what God’s blessing is really all about. Just my $.02
U2 and organizational greatness
U2 released No Line On The Horizon, which is growing on me. It’s quite a departure from How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, which I loved. I was reading an interview with the band on CNN.com, and I was struck by the last statement from drummer Larry Mullen, Jr.: We were always labeled “big” —Continue reading “U2 and organizational greatness”
The Bible still challenges me, and it should.
If I’m being totally honest, when I read the Bible I get really messed up with what I think, today I was reading in Matthew 23 and Jesus said this: 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, 3so practice and observe whatever they tell you— but not what they do. For theyContinue reading “The Bible still challenges me, and it should.”
Hope
Seth Godin has another great post today on hope. Read it. Today with the inauguration we witnessed millions of people who were willing to by hope, from a politician no less. I believe Barak Obama has what it takes to lead our country out of the many messes that we are in right now. IContinue reading “Hope”
Church is Boring
What?!?! As one who as been trained to be a religious professional I probably shouldn’t creates posts about how the organization by which I am employed is boring. That’s a pretty big no-no. So what am I talking about? I read this post by Seth Godin. And it got me thinking . . . hereContinue reading “Church is Boring”
