Now that’s a cool ’staff fun day!’
Our staff meetings are Tuesdays at Southbrook. But every 5th Tuesday we make a staff fun day. This one was really fun and had a great cause as well. I hope a lot of you will be inspired by it and join Southbrook Church in their efforts to partner with people and non-profits in Monroe […]

Do this OFTEN in remembrance of me..
When was the last time you had communion?
Came to a “Night of Worship?”
Prayed with your pastors and their wives?
Tonight has three things in common—all of the above will be happening.
Hope to see you tonight at Southbrook Church!
P.S. Don’t forget to share your most bone-headed financial decision (story) with me. Just leave it in the comments […]

If my bullet fits your gun, shoot it!
Rick Warren said this years ago.
What was he referring to? He was talking about all truth being God’s truth. Actually, it was a little bit more than that, but that was the idea. Rick just has a really memorable way of saying things. Here’s another way he addressed this entire subject when asked about “stuff” […]

Don’t Say I Never Give You Anything!
The response to Joe Sangl’s financial freedom talks were so positive, I decided to keep this thing going for a bit.
I also believe in stewardship PASSIONATELY myself so the more I can get people to understand God’s heart on this the better. One way is to get Joe’s book…
This thing can be read in about […]

Weekend Reflections
What a great weekend it was at Southbrook Church! The crowds were back after last week’s great ‘blizzard of 08’! And we had special guest, Joe Sangl speak to us about money.
This is a tough subject with church goers and even tougher for seekers but Joe knocked it out of the park by showing us that […]

Take Advantage of This!
I’ve heard that, “While the cat’s away, the mice will play.” Sometimes it’s true of church attendance—not so much anymore at SCC because we have such stellar speakers come in when I am gone.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there are those who only come when I’m not there!
Just kidding! But who knows?
Anyway, I hope this […]

Now Do Something About It!
I can’t tell you how many times I hear people talk about how their finances (or rather, ‘lack thereof’) are ruining their lives. They put it many different ways, but it’s all the same…
We can never seem to make ends meet.
We’re just living pay check to pay check.
There nothing left over at the end of […]

An Exersize in Futility — Final
Shameless Plug: Don’t forget to check out the hot new blog (my wife’s) at www.michellesingleton.com
Now…Here’s the wrap-up that has been forever in the writing. Last time we talked about the zillions and zillions of structures and denominations that Christians have come up with over the last 2,000 years. It’s pretty easy to see […]

Finally!
Today I won the battle of the blog!
What’s that?
It’s the 2 person battle between me and my wife over whether or not she should start a blog of her own. Up until today she saw no reason for it. Excuses included, but were by no means limited to;
I like just reading yours
I can’t […]

A Common Theme
Still in the Psalms with my Quiet Time.
The psalms have a lot of recurring themes and David (the one who wrote the most Psalms) seems to harp (no pun intended) on one particular theme over and over again.
Seriously, I wonder why God wanted this, or allowed this, certainly inspired this, to the extent that it […]

Friends with Benefits
New Name — Same Old BAD Idea.
“Friends with Benefits” (Uncovering Relational Myths). This is the title and tagline of our next series. I know. I know. pallen@southbrookchurch.com
Now that we have that out of the way, let me tell you why we are doing this. There are many reasons:
I heard this […]

Our Growing Family!
It never gets old. I love seeing people from all walks of life—from brand new believers to seasoned veterans taking the many classes we offer at SCC. We have 101 for those fairly new to Southbrook (Discovering Southbrook), 201 (discovering the Spiritual Habits), 301 (Discovering my spiritual gifts) and 401 (discovering my mission).
I just pulled […]

Might want to come to Saturday Night!
Ok, I know that weather predictions aren’t usually all that stellar, but there seems to be a slight chance we will have at least some slush, oops, snow later today. So you might want to come to the Saturday evening service this weekend (tonight) since it might look white and fluffy but the roads should […]

Once Bittin Twice Shy
For the 3 of you who care to know where my last post was heading, here it is. I left off saying the following:
Little dogs are lot like timid believers, a lot like scared Christ followers. And groups of little dogs are a lot like little groups of inward focussed Christians. They want to run […]

Nipping at Your Heels
“Sweat the Small Stuff,” continued…
Some people are afraid of dogs.
When I was 7 I was one of them.
I got bit by a frothing, rabid, mad, lunatic of a dog known as a dachshund.
Hard to picture?
Remember (those of you rolling on the ground laughing at me right now) I was SEVEN, ok?! […]
