Are You Still Listening?

Posted in Formation on April 29, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Most days when I get to the office, I open my web browser and immediately click on a link to a free, online music service.  Throughout the day, the music stops and a little window pops up and asks me, “Are you still listening?”  I then have to click on the little window, and my [...]

Called to Engage

Posted in Church on April 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I am thinking today about what it means to be a Christian.  Not so much a definition of being a Christ follower, but rather, what does that look like?  How should I live?  How do fellow Christ followers relate to one another. I am overwhelmed with the idea that being a Christian carries with it [...]

The State of the Church

Posted in Church on April 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I have been thinking a lot lately about the state of the church, not just our church (although that has been on my mind constantly) but the church in general.  As I think about our culture and the era and environment in which we live, I can’t help but think about the incredible opportunities we [...]

Growing Up in the 80′s

Posted in Motivational on April 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I read a joke today that began, “You May Have Grown Up in the 80′s if . . .”   I have to admit, 90% of the things the little ditty mentioned hit home directly with me.  What can I say, the 80′s were great.  I don’t know of many songs that came out in [...]

Be Still and Listen

Posted in Formation on April 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I don’t know about you but I tend to stay pretty busy.  I am not complaining.  In fact, sometimes I have to admit I thrive on the rush of “accomplishment.”  Someone on the outside could look at my calendar and see all the squares and be able to say, “if the objective is to fill [...]

Keeping Me Humble

Posted in Grace on April 22, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Several weeks ago I preached a funeral for a church member.  It was a fairly typical service.  At the conclusion of the service, in my best “pastoral” manner I thanked everyone for their compassion toward the family and for taking the time to be present at the service to pay their respects.  I then explained [...]

What I Want To Be When I Grow Up

Posted in Formation on April 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I had the privilege and honor to do a memorial service for very special person today.  Tom had been in our city and our church for over 50 years.  He was all but a living legend in our church – he even has an entrance named after him where he could always be found as [...]

There is no other time in the history of the world that you could have been more instrumental in God’s plan than today – NOW

God is Moving

Posted in Motivational on April 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Do you ever get the feeling that God is about to do something big?  I don’t profess to be a prophet – but every once in a while, I get the sense that God is moving.  We can always see where God has been at work (provided we take the time to look) .  But it isn’t [...]

The Creator is Bigger than Your Concerns

Posted in Hope on April 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Psam 121 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—        where does my help come from?  2 My help comes from the LORD,         the Maker of heaven and earth. My boys and I took a day and did a little hiking and rock climbing in Fort Davis yesterday.  As I looked from the campground [...]
