What’s that guy’s name?
I really believe with every fiber of my being—that God is going to continue to do mind blowing things through this wonderful family of believers known as Southbrook Church!
Honestly, it’s a no-brainer. Because the Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles 16:9,
The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are [...]

Do You Love Me?
Last weekend the message at Southbrook was about the apostle Peter. We’re in a “Heroes” series right now and he is definitely a hero of mine—maybe my favorite.
Why?
Because I mess up a lot. Peter messed up a lot. But the cool thing abut Peter was that He kept trying. And the even cooler thing about [...]

This Never Gets Old!
Once again God moved mightily at Southbrook and many folks gave their lives to Jesus!
Praise God for this. It will never get old! But maybe something else I often do has gotten a bit old. So, rather than spew out the numbers again of all those who trusted Christ as their Lord and Savior [...]

Now the 4 finalists go head to head and the winning band will open for Big Daddy Weave and Rush of Fools when they come to Charlotte North Carolina.
I’m letting you [...]

First Day of School! First Day of School!
I don’t remember being this excited about school when I was a kid. Do you? But imagine the thrill upon seeing both my 9 year old daughter and my 11 year old son pumped up about school starting back up.
Go figure.
Well, I know of a few more students and families who might be more pumped [...]

Achieving “Mess-Status”
The other day we had some folks over. Whenever we plan to do this I know the house has to be spic and span—not sure what that even means to the rest of you, but growing up that meant that we needed to get the house clean enough to show—as in, show for sale.
No easy [...]

CEO or Union Worker?
Neither of these really works when God asks us as individuals to step out for Him.
Each of us have been shaped uniquely to impact this world for Christ. But sometimes we cloud things up by choosing to respond to God as either a CEO or a union member.
Let me explain.
When God’s Spirit works among His [...]

Blackberry Backfire
Ever received a cell phone call from someone and when you say hello all you hear is a bunch of talking or activity on the other end but no one responds to you? This happens when someone hits the call button on their mobile phone by accident and places a call to you without realizing it.
I [...]

Surrender or Attack?
This was the theme for this year’s leadership getaway at Southbrook. We actually didn’t go too far this year and nothing very exotic.
Camp Singleton to be exact.
But it was my favorite leadership getaway we’re ever had. I guess the home court advantage really is a big deal.
Why the “Surrender or Attack” theme?

Clear as Mud
Sometimes when I try to make a point I walk away feeling like I was about as clear as mud.
This can happen when there’s poor prep or not enough study has gone into the message. But there’s another way that it can happen as well. Sometimes this happens when the message preached runs smack dab [...]

Disturb Me!
We’ve all seen the door hangers on hotel room doors that read, “Do not disturb.” And, most of us realize that this means in no uncertain terms that the people inside the room don’t want anything disturbing the peaceful, easy feeling they worked to hard to acquire.
Sure, there are other reasons to hang that [...]

Drifting Into Better Behavior
I’ve never witnessed this. Have you?
I’ve never seen someone living like a hellion completely turn it around simply because they started ‘drifting’ toward a better way to live and eventually arrived. No, it seems to me that it takes some kind of interference in order to get someone on the right course. Call it what [...]

Safe Harbor
Are you a Safe Harbor?
People who are hurting need someone who they believe is a safe harbor more than anything else.
How do you know if you are?
If you offer an “answer for everything,” you’re not. People who give pat answers and trite “know-it-all” responses to people’s very real pain only exasperate the problem. They only add [...]

The Spotter
Last night my daughter and I were watching the Olympics. She was really excited about seeing the women’s gymnastics competition. Now I have to admit, the power and acrobatic feats of some of these tiny women almost defy all logic. They were amazing and this was only the preliminary stuff!
As we watched, my daughter noticed [...]

Adding a road
Yesterday’s post was entitled, “Two Roads.” The problem is, there are three!
Ok, so I’m talking about a different highway system here in some ways, but in others, it all comes back to the same thing. Yesterday’s roads were called GRACE and PRIDE and you can read about them here.
But I would be remiss if I did [...]
