The Right Relationships at the Right Time
So apparently tomorrow for means days later….. I talked in my last post about the right kinds of relationships that Jesus formed and how we can make the wrong relationships for the wrong reasons. While those relationships are not evil they are certainly more edifying to our self than to the Kingdom. In my ministry obviously I [...]
It is NOT about Relationships
At least not just ANY relationship. We can develop relationships all day long but if as Christians we are not modeling our relationship building after Christ then we ARE going to FAIL! We see in Matt 9, Mark 2, Luke 5 and 19 the types of relationships Jesus invested in, relationships with people who were hurting, [...]
Book Review: Urgent by Joe Donahue
My friend Joe Donahue has written his first book and in order to build awareness he has allowed me to get an advanced reading of the book in order to do a review. Now I have to say that at first I was worried about doing a review for a friend but after reading the [...]
The Book Is Not Closed!!!
I have always had an eclectic taste in music the only genre I didn’t take too was country but even some of those songs appealed to me. When it comes to worship music I lean heavily towards new modern music but there are hymns that are very special to my heart. What has always bothered [...]
The Nails
We studied Isaiah 53:1-5 this week in Collide, our Wednesday youth service. It was a powerful time and God really spoke through me and I was wiped afterwards. Week in and week out we see people come in to the church and leave completely unchanged. They profess Christianity but they wallow in their sins daily [...]
Down from the Mountain
Having just come back from an amazing weekend with our youth group it is an easy thing to get down. After all we experienced coming back down to reality is a little depressing. Most of us in the ministry recognize this as a mountaintop experience and understand the brutality of the realization that we have [...]
Green with Envy
I want to add a disclaimer to the front of this post that I did not intend to do a “green” post on St Patricks Day. But hey here we are let’s go for it. I have been pondering this issue of envy for a while. I will be honest it isn’t because I recognize [...]
The Final Unleash Word
After all was said and done I LOVED Unleash. I have a new respect for NewSpring Church and affirmed respect for Perry Noble. That being said I wanted to address the controversial jab that Perry made at his critics during the second session. If you weren’t there and haven’t heard let’s just leave it as [...]
UNleash Mind Dump (Part 2)
I was supposed to do this yesterday but I took the day off and spent some quality time with my wife which was much needed. I probably have never said this here but my wife ROCKS (and is hot to boot) Ok here it goes God can give you a sloppy wet kiss or a [...]
Unleash Mind Dump (Part 1)
So I went to UNLEASH at NewSpring today and let me say……AMAZING. I am very inspire and ready to charge hell with a water pistol. So this is my mind dump and recap of the highlights. Don’t be a parent who let’s your fears hold your children back–this does apply to church and how we [...]
