Now that you’ve seen God Save more than 400 people THIS year…what are you going to do?

I’m going to Disney World!
No, really.
But the celebration for everyone @ Southbrook is over how HUGE our God is!!!
Stop right now wherever you are and praise Him for how He has moved and continues to move in the lives and through the lives of His people at Southbrook Church!!
Friends, most churches don’t get to […]

The return of the blob AAAuuuuuugggghhhhh!!!!

Remember that old, cheesy horror movie. Some sort of slimy, silly puddy material was sliming the world to death. It’s hard to imagine people getting all worked up about it as a scary movie, but apparently it was quite the ‘pee your pants, cry for your mommy’ type flick in its day.
Well, believe it or […]

It’s all in how you look at things.

I have been celebrating and dreaming about the miracles all over the country in regards to the growth of Christ’s Bride, the church.
From the early days of Willowcreek (http://www.willowcreek.com/) 
..to the incredible story of Saddleback church ( http://www.saddleback.com/flash/default.htm)
…and how God used Rick Warren (http://www.rickwarren.com/).
To today and the likes of Andy Stanley (http://www.northpoint.org) ,
Ed Young (http://cp.blogs.com/),

We want you! Or maybe not!

Remember that old, ‘Uncle Sam’ add for the military? “WE WANT YOU!” it read. I’ll bet as we look back at draft dodgers, flag burners, military bashers, Quakers, conscientious objectors and a whole host of other “Anti-war for any reason’ folks we might want to rephrase that to, “We want you if you embrace this country, its […]

The Shelf Life of your average Christian Commitment - Part 5 and FINAL installment

Several days ago I took off on a rant about Christian commitment and how anemic it seems to be these days. That was the bad news. We saw the damage it can do as well as the disappointment it causes as it fails to deliver a closer relationship to God (or anyone else for that […]

The “Shelf Life” of your average chrisitan commitment - part 4

As we near the end of this five part series I have to say that this has been the most difficult set of posts I’ve ever written.
For a lot of reasons…

I’m still so sickened by the evil and wickedness of this Cho Seung-Hui character that I can hardly give it anymore thought.
I am almost […]

The “Shelf Life” of your average chrisitan commitment - part 3

Ok, ok, do to the growing boycott possibilities toward this blog, I am releasing tomorrow’s post today.
Warning: You may get even more frustrated as this is a FIVE part series and rest and reconciliation from the mad ramblings of a passionate pastor will almost certainly not arrive until then.
Nevertheless…
Here it is since you […]

The “Shelf Life” of your average chrisitan commitment - part 2

Starting to see it yet?
Because Christians learn early (and wrongly) to dance around the peripheral of an issue rather than getting to the heart of the matter, many of them spend a lifetime chasing the wrong things.
Aside: Before Joe blog reader gets to smug about Christians, you do it too. It’s just that you don’t know any […]

The “Shelf Life” of your Average Christian Commitment - Part 1

If I were smart, I would have probably increased the payoff on my life insurance before posting this entry.
Let me explain.
You see, certain aspects of the “Christian” culture and “churchy” culture can have an awful lot in common with the Mafia.
1.     We have our own set of rules to live by.
2.     We break […]

A close encounter of the best kind

 
Every time we draw closer to an “encounter” at SCC people start asking what it is. Doesn’t the name say it all?
If you go to the Southbrook encounter you’re going to meet someone. However, it’s more than that. I mean, some of you have already met this person, so (knowing that) you might think (wrongly) […]

Champion of the year!

Less than two weeks ago Kate Doiron lost her husband as he slipped away in the early hours of the morning to go home with Jesus. Adam was only 29 years old. Kate has been an example of godliness and strength for countless people at Southbrook and beyond as they watch her continue to serve […]

You Guys are amazing!

I know we have the right hearts here to see God do extraordinary things. All you have to do is read the comments after the “Is Our Faith Too Small” post to know that.
You can read them here, http://www.robsingleton.net/?p=227#comments

The End of the World as we know it

Ok, ok, I’ll admit it when I’m wrong, and I’m NOT WRONG about Sanjaya!

However, I watched his part tonight and, (I can’t believe I’m about to say this), I agree with Simon. It wasn’t horrible.
What does this have to do with my (as some have called it) ‘mean spirited’ post regarding Sanjaya and a certain […]
