A few weeks ago, someone commented and asked me for an example of the change theory. If we can do better at this, we’ll see the change were looking for.
The culture we live in claims to be a culture where love is the difference, love the change, love is the hope for the future, but [...]
I Heart Myself
a Shift in the Paradigm
Were in the midst of a movement; a shift in the paradigm if you will. This new direction is a crying out for a genuine authentic truth that applies to every inch of our lives. Mindsets are changing.
This movement completely stands against the religions and politics of our parent’s generation. The rising generation see’s the [...]
Sweet Jesus Christ, my clarity.
What if all this economy stuff is a good thing? Do we believe God really is as sovereign as we proclaim?
I want to borrow a quote from John Piper. Piper makes the statement, “God is most glorified when were most satisfied in Him.” God never intended our possessions or relationships to bring us satisfaction. When [...]
5:30 AM
For the past two weeks, we’ve been doing our 5:30 AM runs for football. They have been mentally and physically tiring and rarely are they fun. They usually consist of lots of up-downs, sprints, and agility drills. You can’t help but question your reasoning for being out there. If it were easy, everyone would do [...]
reTHINK: Evangelism
Jesus earned the right to talk to people and invest in their lives. He always filled a physical need then solved the spiritual one.
While most churches have outreach programs, it is too much based solely on trying to convert them. People coming to Christ is never bad thing, how many times is it that [...]
From fear to faith
For the past few months, I have tried to do everything I could to know God better. I have read the word, gone to church, and had numerous spiritual discussions with anyone who wanted to talk. I’ve read books, I’ve seen movies, and all of this resorts to meaningless for my life.
To the normal Christian, [...]
The Kool-Aid Gospel
If you have ever pondered the state of the church and thought about the commitment of an early Christian in the Scriptures and then looked at the church around you and you think to yourself, something is terribly wrong, and there is no good place to start. You have something in common with at least [...]
Come Rest
Christians constantly struggle with this idea of rest. Finding rest in God seems to be goal that we consistently fall short of rather than the reality that we live in our lives. It seems that we get most tired when we are doing the work for God (E.g. Working in vocational ministry, serving [...]
Love and Truth
Have you ever looked at the church and then read the bible and thought, I don’t think that this is what Jesus was getting at? Jesus didn’t play games. Jesus Christ didn’t discriminate who he loved, however, Jesus did give truth in His love, but, it was the right amount of truth needed. A lot [...]
Do I really want to know God’s Will?
The American Church is not in the center of God’s will. God’s will simply means, God’s desire. When you take an honest look at churches in the good ole US of A, do you really believe that God desires us to be the way we are?
I was listening to Francis Chan’s sermon [...]
