What a let down
Jesus disappointed people.
Does that surprise you?
I’m not talking about the obvious, as in the religious leaders, Pharisees, Saducees, Zealots, etc. I’m talking about His own followers. To me that’s just mind bending. No one has ever done more for others, been more servant minded and shown more love and mercy than Jesus Christ.
No one. Period.
Yet […]

A Fatal Dissconnect - Final
Alright, let’s wrap this thing up.
For those of you just catching up, go here for part one and here for part two before you read on.
All caught up?
Good.
So people sometimes miss it.
So things don’t always gel.
There’s not always a “connect.”
Big deal.
Well, actually it is a huge deal. As the series title indicates, it’s a […]

Stand up for Jesus
There was an old hymn we used to sing (when I was a child) at church with these words. Well, actually, it went, “Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross.” Not sure that would connect with people today but it will always be special for me.
You see, we live in a […]

Crazy People
Ever notice how God’s people in the Bible are often thought to be, well,
a little off?
a few cards short of a full deck?
a couple pancakes short of a stack?
Well, I’m thinking this might be some sort of off handed, unintended, maybe even mean spirited compliment. So, to all of you who think my faith […]

What a Difference a Day Makes!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Well here’s about a thousand of them.
Ok, not that many, but you get the picture (no pun intended)!
Celebrate with me as we inch closer to the grand opening of our new facility!
We should be in around, “Back to School” time (late August – early Sept.).
Now Way! You […]

Update
Have you seen the progress on our new building?! This thing is going up at light speed! And not a moment too soon. The increase in crowds has gone on ever since Easter and shows no signs of letting up.
The building might help motivate but I don’t think that’s it.
I think it’s life change.
Everyone […]

A Fatal Dissconnect - Part 2
So what does the see-saw generational thing have to do with us today?
Oh, I’m sorry. This makes no sense to you if you didn’t read yesterday’s post. Why don’t you trot on over there and I will wait.
You can find it below this post, or you can just click here.
See where I’m at now?
Good.
But ‘so […]

A Fatal Dissconnect - Part 1
I’m in Matthew right now in my quiet time. Even the genealogies of the Bible are worth reading, so I hope you don’t breeze right past these things. For instance, isn’t it baffling how such wicked kings in the Bible could grow up with such godly examples for fathers and still blow it?! Or visa-versa?
Seriously, […]

Take it or leave it — You decide.
How fitting that my time with the Lord told of the paranoia of Joseph’s brothers after their father (Jacob) passed away. Today, at church we talked about getting mired in the muck of guilt.
Guilt can actually be a good thing when it helps lead us to repentance and change. But guilt is also like milk—keep […]

Slammin Day at Southbrook!
This “One Month to Live” series has definitely been a challenge for us all. It’s also been one of my very favorite series we’ve ever done as a church! Already (and we still have 2 more weeks to go) hundreds have seen life change in powerful ways as God teaches them to, in essence, ‘live […]

A packed weekend @ the Brook
Well, every weekend there are seven services. I’d call that pretty packed. But few are aware of the many other things going on at Southbrook Church.
Every Sunday evening there are at least 30 life groups going on all over the geographical area. It’s our biggest day for life group gatherings of all shapes and […]

Entitlement
The First Shall Be Last
I’m wrapping up Genesis in my Quiet time right now. One of the most courageous and godly characters in all the Bible is Joseph. His father (Jacob) was rather crafty and deceiving, but Joseph was so godly he is often pointed to as the most Christlike figure of the entire Bible.
In […]

Expelled: Kicking Intelligence Out of Our Schools
This new film is causing quite a stir as it looks at the anti intelligent design (another name for, “Life by random stupidity”) school and the lunacy of protecting at all costs the scientific status quo…
It stars Ferris Bueller’s teacher from, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off—”Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?”
That ring a bell?
Well, this guy (Ben Stein) was […]

Sure there is no God?
This is a continuation of yesterday’s post. I have a few more amazing moments from the Georgia Aquarium to share with you all.
Perhaps the greatest Homer Simpson moment (DOOP!) was seeing all the incredible efforts human beings have to go through in order to keep the fish in one of the relatively small exhibits alive. […]

“There is no God!”
Got your attention with that one didn’t I?
But I’m no fool, (at least most of the time) and these are the infamous words of most fools. These are the words of those who look out at all of creation and then say to themselves, “It’s all just a matter of chance. We humans are nothing […]
