Remember, “No Mo’ Technorati?”

Well I’m throwing my pastoral hat in that ring as well.
Looking back over the last couple of months I too have been sucked into the great technorati vortex, and now I’m climbing out!
Seriously gang, this thing is worse than crack!
From everything I’ve heard about blackholes, once they have you, there’s no escaping. So, let’s just […]

Willy Wonka and the Church Factory — Part 3

If you’re just catching up with this series, read this first. Then read yesterday’s post here and you’ll be all caught up and ready for this one. Otherwise, this post will only sound like meaningless dribble from a slightly neurotic pastor desperately in need of sleep. And…
Wait…
Oh, never-mind, just go read those and come back. […]

Willy Wonka and the Church Factory, Part 2

There are some unbelievable similarities between the characters in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and a lot of folks caught up in “Church hopping and shopping” these days. For a little background check out yesterday’s post here. For today however, let’s pick up where we left off.
First there was the rotund, Augustus Gloop, who […]

Willy Wonka and the Church Factory

I’ll bet you never linked these two enterprises together before, huh? But they’re far more alike than most of us ever imagined.
In fact, in some cases, they’re practically the same!
Think about it. Willy Wonka and the golden ticket and all that is a relatively new idea—sort of an updated, “Wizard of Oz” thing. But […]

Just for Fun!

Warning, another meaningless post coming your way!
Who Knew?
Ever wonder if you look like any celebrities?
Quit lying, you have so!
Well wonder no more. Here is a website that can generate your closest match. My wife and I ran the program and here are the results…
First hers:
Then mine: Frightening, isn’t it? Good thing […]

You all are in for a treat this weekend — beginning tonight, as our own, Lysa TerKeurst (Lysaterkeurst.com) speaks at all six weekend venues!
Art TerKeurst is my best friend (outside of Jesus and my wife — sorry, Art) and we have been through good times and bad, tough times and times of great joy. The […]

Thanksgiving “Turkey Trot!”

My wife’s threatening to make this a ‘tradition.’
I told her I’m not much of a traditional guy. “Pipe down,” she said. “Traditions can be good.”
Thus the “Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot” was born.
What is it?
Sort of a cross between a 5k walk for a worthy cause (us, and working up a healthy Thanksgiving appetite) and a […]

Contemporary vs. Relevant, Part 2

Which is more important?
That line should have given you a hint right there!
Seriously, one of those words is interchangeable with important. The other is not.
Ok, I’ll give it to you, because I’ve got to run and this needs to be a short post.
Relevant is far and away more important. Contemporary simply means “new or up […]

The Best Day of Your life!!!

This is my son, Nathan’s (he’s the highest one in the tree — naturally) favorite thing to say, “This was the best day of my life!” He says it all the time—sometimes several times in one week! Who can have that many “best days of their entire life?!”
And the kicker?
He genuinely means it, every […]

Jesus Christ this weekend @ Southbrook Church!
I had an entirely separate post ready to go for Monday gang, but then this happened! God moved in a powerful way this weekend at Southbrook Church as we saw over one hundred people step over that line and bow the knee to Jesus […]

CAUGHT!!!

I’ve been trying to figure out what in the world is happening to our shrubbery out front. No one’s talking!
Michelle blames the kids.
The kids blame the dogs.
The dogs blame the deer.
The deer just play dumb. They’re amazingly good at it. They always come off looking like themselves in the headlights.
But, the other day, using high […]

Link Love, Part 2

Latest Link Low-Down
Hey gang, it’s no secret that I love reading other people’s blogs and hearing about what the Lord is doing all across this globe. But I have sort of acted like it was a bit of a secret by not sharing these with you all. So…

I’m going to include updates on these deals […]
