God has no grandchildren
A curious thing about most (nearly all) world religions is their somewhat ‘automatic’ nature. It’s almost as if they are on a kind of spiritual cruise control that mechanizes the entire salvation process.
And it’s never turned off.
It’s never inspected.
It never breaks down.
But it never worked in the first place either.
Think […]

Tell us where it hurts? Or tickles?
Tell us what series ideas interest you regarding needs, praise, growth, etc?
Marriage series
Heroes (a take-off of the TV show that looks at 4 or 5 Biblical heroes of the faith)
Family Series
Teach through a book of the Bible like we did with Nehemiah
A felt need (i.e. financial stress, drawing closer to God, better relationships)
The gospel of […]

Made possible by, ‘one crack job of investigative reporting!’
I’m actually still thinking about that amazing weekend at SCC where we baptized another 100 people.
It was unbelievable!
I know you probably get tired of me saying that, but it’s true. And maybe it gets old hearing it if church for you is more typified by the same group (only a bit smaller each month) of […]

Xtreme Spirituality – Part 6?
Guest Blogger: Art TerKeurst
A few years back I got a real wake up call from two boys with a third world country faith. Lysa and I (Art) were introduced to a group of Liberian orphans here in the states singing together in a boy’s choir. These boy’s were traveling and singing for primarily two […]

Anybody Seen my floating Axe-head?
My quiet time with the Lord today was simple but, AWESOME!
Seriously, I’m still reeling from it.
Some of you (who read the post last week, entitled, ‘Out of the Overflow’) already know that I’m currently going through the book of 2 Kings. Here is the passage I read this morning,
1 One day the group of prophets […]

Movie Night @ the Brook
Meet me at the Drive in!
Remember the old drive in movies?
We’d pile in cars and trucks, head for the outdoor, vehicular amphitheater and hang out with all our friends.
We might even, occasionally, catch a decent movie.
It was a blast.
Whatever happened to them anyway?
You probably don’t remember because you usually rode in the trunk to save […]

Invasion
Tonight I had a close encounter of the 4th kind.
I don’t know what close encounters of the 1st and 2nd kind are and the movie made no sense to me, so I’m inventing my own category for what I witnessed tonight.
But, since, as they say, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words,’ take a look […]

Xtreme Spirituality – Part 4
Learning Xtreme Spirituality
Another problem with our heavenly fairness scenario is that we are not free to simply invent the truth on this issue because God has already spoken to it numerous times in His Word. To paint the administration and organizational structure of heaven the way we want is to ignore what God […]

Passive Spirituality – Part 4
Remember where we left off?
You said you might want to take it up a notch spiritually.
Don’t remember?
Trust me, some of you ‘thought it’ at the very least.
And here was my response.
God loves to help those who ask for help. So, seek on.
He’s waiting.
So, we’re […]

Xtreme Living – Part 3
Passive Spirituality
Congratulations! I knew spiritually dead was not for you!
So what’ll it be?
Joy filled?
Abundant Life?
A life full of adventure and intimacy with your creator?
What’s that?
You want to know if there’s an intermediate level or something?
A blue square?
No black diamonds for you just yet?
Well, I suppose there […]

Xtreme Living — Part 2 — Spiritually Dead
This isn’t a real post. Sorry if you feel mislead. Sorry if you feel victimized by the old bait and switch, but the fact is, there is no such thing as spiritually dead for the believer.
“Aha”! Some of you feel you’ve trapped me early on (theology profs., enlightened pastors, learned priests and self taught […]

Out of the Overflow
It’s 5:20 am right now and I couldn’t sleep.
It’s a good thing.
You ever have one of those mornings where you’re just overcome with the joy of the Lord? Where God wakes you up just to talk?
No, I’m not nuts.
At least not for that reason.
Well, I am having one of those mornings right now […]

Remember the old, Xmen posts I did?
By old I actually mean, about a month ago.
Well I’ve got a lot more to say on this deal for all the masses who read this blog. Seriously, you should both get a lot out of this. Well, even though those posts were in reference to men and […]

Just a thought, but a pretty good one!
I absolutely love this!
The other day a friend of mine put something (that has been on my heart) very well!
I couldn’t agree more!
I don’t know if it originated with him but it doesn’t matter.
It’s right on and we ALL should live like this!

Champions of the week
The ‘Freaks of the Week’ (and that’s a GOOD thing) have to be all the selfless, fired up, visionary, trail blazers who stepped forward this weekend to take the Southbrook Monroe banner!
Well over 100 people (most of them [88] this past weekend, and many more over the last several weeks and months) have already […]
