    Date Night…?

    “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.  The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it from generation to [...]

    Conferences 2009

    I’m starting to plan…what conferences I’d like to attend for personal growth during 2009. I’ve found the most balanced grouping of conference sessions that I’ve ever been able to line-up before now. Here’s what I’ve found and what each conference theme is built around:

    Andy Stanley
    Erwin McManus
    Brian Houston
    Craig Groeschel
    Jud Wilhite
    Perry Noble

    Word Cloud from tags

    I’ve posted these before, but like to check it out from time to time. This tag or word cloud is created with the java applet on the website www.wordles.net. It’s pretty cool; it takes the words posted in your blog and creates a image from them. It gives an “artful” look at your content.

    If you enjoyed [...]

    A meditation on the Gospel of John (Pt.1)

    I mentioned that in my last post, Sermon: Every Knee Shall Bow, that I had been really getting stoked by God’s Spirit as I was searching, studying, and meditating on the Gospel of John and Paul’s letter to the Romans. I shared a couple weeks ago the thoughts that had come from Romans about how [...]

    Sermon: “Every Knee Shall Bow”

    I shared the final installment of our Bethlehem Bound Series today. My text was from Matthew 2:1-2. God has been stoking and stirring the fires of my heart in recent days with meditations from Romans and the Gospel of John. My take on this chapter of the Nativity Story was a little different than what [...]

    Link Love

    Found a lot of cool stuff around the webworld and blogosphere in recent days and thought I’d share some of it with you. Let’s start with church marketing guru Richard Reising who makes an excellent point about helping to bridge “outsiders” to be “insiders” with his continuing Starbucks analogy.
    Brian McLaren furnishes a passel of interesting [...]

    More “believe with your heart”

    I’m resurrecting a post from a few months ago because I think the message is congruent with what has been on my own heart the past couple of weeks. I’ve been thinking, meditating, reading, and posting what it means to “believe with your heart.” In keeping with that teaching, I want to remind my readers [...]

    Signs of a Christian

    I think this post will serve as a follow-up from yesterday’s installment of the Romans Road Rules. I have said it a number of times, but I am a huge fan of Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones. I think his work and writings as a pastor-theologian-teacher rate among the best that I have ever learned from. [...]

    Road Rules from Romans [Pt 3]

    I’ve been attending other reading and other studies, but have been drawn back to my “Romans Road Rules” thoughts and wanted to pick back up again with that exploration.  I’m picking up with chapter 10 of Paul’s letter to the Roman believers and following through chapter 13.
    The passage that grabbed my attention on this reading [...]
