World Changers
It’s fascinating to me to think about the role of the church in relationto this world. Some people see ‘church’as a location. Others see it as a meeting that takes place on a weekly basis. Still others think of it as a man made institution or community group. Those who are heavily religious look at […]

A Dangerous Prayer!
Here’s a prayer I am asking my congregation to consider praying on a daily basis to help us discover better opportunities to share of faith in Christ with others. It’s simple but powerful. I adapted this prayer from a recent blog I found from Mark Batterson (pastor of National Community Church). Maybe you should join […]

Life Before Cell Phones
Does anyone remember the CB Radio? This is something that brings back such fond memories for me. Now, let me say right up front…I do wish to go back to a CB styled life, but I do love the memories. It happened today. I was reading a book and something I read really challenged me. […]

Thinking About Freedom…
Alright, if my math is correct – this week marks the 233rd Independence Day Celebration for America! It was on July the 4th in 1776, that the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress, setting the 13 colonies on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation. As always, this coming Saturday will be marked […]

Okay, so I thought I might share a bit of my own devotion today. In John 15:1-8 1 Jesus says, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it […]

Well, I’m currently re-reading one of my books by Dr. Myles Munroe this week as I prepare for FATHER’S DAY next Sunday morning. He entitled it, Understanding the Purpose […]

Building the Team
I know that the idea of ministry being a “Team Sport” is still somewhat foreign to many pastors and church leaders…but I am totally convinced that this is the best and most biblical way of approaching ministry. Yesterday I shared with our church family that our “Team” was growing again. Soon we will be celebrating […]

Culturally Savvy…
Okay, here is a very powerful quote from William R. Inge about culture. He writes, “Whoever marries the spirit of this age will find himself a widower in the next.” That statement totally reminds me of those days growing up when leisure suits and polyester pants had gone COMPLETELY out of style…and yet there were […]

Lawn Day at the Hill House!
Is it just me, or does anyone else like to get out the house on the weekends and work in their yard? There is just something so rewarding about transforming an overgrown yard into a work of art! I absolutely love it. The time alone, listening to the hum of the mower, the sun on your […]

Star Trek & Experiencing the Rescue!
This morning I spent some time reading from the New Testament book – Galatians. Today I choose to read it from the popular modern day interpretation by Eugene Peterson. His version of the bible is called – The Message. If you don’t have a copy of this version of the bible, well…you should! It is […]
