Babyboomin’ — part 2

Souls or Seashells?

There’s lots and lots of them—this generation that came to life between 1946 and 1964. And they will be remembered for going one of 2 directions.

Retiring from their jobs as early as possible so that they might spend more time at “the shore” collecting sea shells and shark’s teeth.
Rising up en mass and [...]

What if you went to the doctor today and got handed this news?
“You have one month to live.”
How would it affect the way you spend your last days?
Would you continue on—business as usual?
I believe nearly everyone would answer that in the negative. Of course not! I mean, you now have 30 – 31 days to [...]

Weekend Reflections

I look forward to these weekends like few others.
A rare opportunity for us to do nothing but lift up the name of Jesus for the entire service! Actually, I should point out that we have that rare opportunity every single weekend, but what makes this rare is what we did and what I didn’t do.
We [...]

Return

About twice a year we give the entire weekend at Southbrook to our wonderfully gifted musicians and singers and say, “Lead us the the throne!”
They always deliver.
Know why?
Because they are not directionally challenged. They know the way to the throne of God is through Jesus Christ and lifting up His name. They also know understand that real [...]

Who won?

Ok, I apologize for being late on this one, but though they were few, they were good (these stories)! But, we have a winner, and that person will receive a gift certificate for a dinner out with that special someone of their choice.
Drum role, please! (dadalut, dadalut)…
The winning post can be found here. Shhhhhh. Go [...]

Putting the BOOM! Back in Boomers, Part 1

I’m hard pressed to find a group of Americans getting more of a bum rap than the baby boomers. Whenever they’re not taking the heat for everything from declining church attendance to global warming, they get the blame for just about everything else!
If a war breaks out somewhere in the far reaches of the world, [...]

Mission Focus of the Week

If you’ve only been to Southbrook within the last year or so than you may have missed one of the greatest stories ever!
I’m talking about the adoption of war torn Orphans from Liberia. For the whole story, follow this link and watch the two videos from the Oprah Winfrey show

Pretty cool, huh? Who would [...]

XMen

That’s what I would call the guys who showed up for the second installment of our Monthly Monday morning challenges.
We’ve been talking about the seven deadly assassins that tend to take men out of the game. Today we talked about the tendency men have toward self deception while deceiving others.
We don’t intend to do this.
We’d [...]

Oh well, we tried.

Remember the big contest?

A couple of weeks ago I put this out:

I feel a contest coming on. Here’s what I want you all to do.
Write a blog about the best thing(s) you (or your parents) ever did (a talk, a life lesson, a summer camp, the way you and your spouse modeled a healthy relationship, [...]

Time Zones

Where do you live your life? Not your physical address, but your mental, spiritual address.
Past, present, or future?
Before you jump right in and answer, let me explain some characteristics of living in each and then you can honestly decide which you live in most.
One rule first; we won’t be talking about jumping in your Delorean [...]

Weekend Reflections

I played hooky this weekend—from Southbrook anyway. Sometimes my most fired up times with the Lord—the times I hear my marching orders most clearly, are the times I am away.
No, the pastor who stresses the importance of gathering weekly with the body of Christ via the local church has not run amok. It’s just a [...]

Manning Up and Manly Missions

Hey men, (yeah, you!), it’s time to man up again. This coming Monday morning at 6:15 AM in the Video Cafe at Southbrook Church will be our second meeting of testosterone filled titans!
Or, just for whoever shows up.
And I hope we fill the place to the rafters because the Lord has given me something that [...]
