Turn out the lights — the party’s over, FINAL
Don’t you feel rotten bad mouthing someone who does something really, really nice for you two seconds later? And it’s about a hundred times worse when you discover that the nice thing they did was the plan all along!
Ouch!
And it REALLY turns the knife when you start rehashing not only all the trash talking you […]

The Choice
I wonder, how many times has my devotional started at the beginning? Literally, in the book of beginnings?
A hundred?
More?
Any how many times have I opened up to Genesis on my way to reading through the Bible?
A lot. It’s a logical place to start.
That’s why I’m absolutely thrilled at the magic of God’s great book […]

Turn out the lights, the party’s over — part 2
Ok, ok, so Jesus said Lazarus’s sickness would not end in death.
Would you have had enough faith?
Me either.
For a couple of reasons…
1. It’s like he’s speaking in code or something. I mean, not end in death is a kinda weird phrase. Does that mean ultimately? Does that mean a coma? Does that mean Jesus’ timing […]

Turn out the lights — the party’s over!
People are pretty good at this, you know.
-Pronouncing something over when it’s not really over.
-Giving up on someone before they really should have—if they should have at all.
Consider the story of Lazarus, in the Bible. When Jesus is told His friend is deathly ill, he gives every indication that He will be there to […]

Weekend Reflections
We wrapped up our, “Friends with Benefits” series today with the message, “The No-Consequences Myth.” This was the first (and only) message in the four part series that I felt entirely comfortable having kids in the service. Why? Because I knew even kids needed to hear the one solution to every problem we talked about […]

I feel like the next contestant to go, on, American Idol!
I always get excited when I know we are getting closer to a powerful movement from God! And I feel like this weekend will be such a time. There’s a lot of evidence for it.
1. Satan has been working overtime, using guilt and depression as we expose dysfunctional sexual views among people today.
2. I opened […]

Attaching Value
Someone owning/operating a Vegas casino paid over $20,000 for a grilled cheese sandwich that supposedly had the image of Christ in it.
People pay tens of thousands of dollars for vintage comic books, old (rare) baseball cards, antiques, etc.
The other day I was wondering what kind of price these same people would put on themselves—you know, […]

Confusing Trends — Part 2
Did you forget about this one?
<—– Maybe these guys will jog your memory.
I know. I know. I’d like to forget that picture too! But it helped prove a point.
If you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, go here and read the post.
I’ll wait.
Done? Well then, you know that I was talking […]

If you build it, they will come.
Been wondering what all the construction on the property is all about? Well, it’s the results of all of our sacrifice and giving a few months back.
You didn’t think we had that one year capital campaign for the sheer thrill of it, did you?
Good.
No, what you are seeing is the beginning of the worship center […]

We’ve brought sexy about halfway back!
We’ll bring it all the way home this coming weekend at Southbrook Church! I hope if you’re in the area you’ll plan on joining us for the conclusion of our “Friends with Benefits” series.
Can’t say it’s been easy, but I can tell you very few series have moved people to make changes in their lives […]

Let’s Talk About Sex Baby!
I’m bringing sexy back!
Whenever we do a series at Southbrook on SEX people come out of the woodwork to hear it.
Seriously, it’s as though they haven’t heard anything on doing the funky love dance their entire lives! And, of course I’m good with that because we want to reach everyone we can with the extremely […]

Drum Role please…dadalut dadalut
The winner of the most outrageous date contest was tough. Once again there were a lot of hilarious entries but we could not go with another tie (b/c this is a low budget blog) so I will post the story of the winner below.
This time around they receive a $10 gift card to Starbucks (so […]

Confusing Trends — part 1
Rant coming your way in 5…4…3…2…1
About 15 years ago a phenomenon hit that I can only describe like a defibrillator on a heart attack victim. Only there were a lot of victims—millions. The victims I’m talking about are Christian men. Their man cards were about 24 hours from being pulled, then the Promise Keeper paramedics […]

But will they link back?
Ok amnesty buddies. Let’s beat technorati at their increasingly exclussive game.
Every blog showing here was linked on my blogroll, but only a few got picked up by technorati thus giving anyone credit beyond a blogroll showing. I believe our friend, jon swift had a great idea but would be gravely dissappointed to learn that so many […]

Champion(s) of the week!
Remember this? Champions of the week? Thought I’d blow the dust off this category and let you all know of some extremely servant-hearted folks gearing up to take the city of Monroe by storm!
Each Saturday people from Southbrook Church head on down to the site of our Monroe Campus to help speed up the process […]
