Completely Full Hearts of Worship on this Sunday in Uganda
Today was an unbelievable day. I hate to keep repeating that over and over again each day, but I don’t really know how else to describe it in actual words. I have broken sentences, incomplete thoughts, and it’s 1:30am right now and I have to get up in about 4 hours for probably the most…

Religion Better Understood by Actions Than by Words
I have been trying for weeks to figure out what to take and what not to take with me to Uganda, and as a friend of mine said yesterday, less is more. It seems no matter how little I take I’m still doing what I perceive a typical American would do, take too much stuff.…

Summer Camp Cornerstone 2011 Gets Underway :: Photos
So it’s that time of year again when all the churches in the country move into VBS mode (we actually call it Camp Cornerstone here, doesn’t sound quite as scary to me, but doubt the kids care what the name is, they always have a blast). Anyway, last night was the kick off for this…

The Unexpected Journey: Conversations with People Who Turned From Other Beliefs to Jesus :: Review
I am still trying to catch up on my book reviews on my website. The Unexpected Journey is a book I read a while back but hadn’t had the chance to review yet. If you are at all involved in other world religions as they compare to Christianity this book is worth exploring. Overall this…

What Does the Church Look Like in 2012?
One of the things I love about our particular church is that we are always talking about reaching the unreached… reaching deeper into the community of Auburn and Opelika trying to find ways to bring the Gospel to those who haven’t heard the Good News (a command throughout the New Testament I might add). One…

A Father’s Love Letter to His Child :: Poem
I found this poem this morning and thought I would share it. Even though I haven’t posted to my blog in a while I still enjoy the world of blogging and everything that goes a long with it. The first few months of 2010 have been challenging, but it’s nice to finally see some warmer…

Pastor Fred Winters Shot to Death, So Where’s God?
Today Pastor Fred Winters of First Baptist Church of Maryville was shot to death by a single gunman during their worship service. Once the gunman started shooting he was “arrested” by the congregation who surrounded him and detained him until the police arrived. As soon as horrific and evil events like this happen it tends…

My Utmost for Politics and Religion Indifference
I will say right off the bat that this post will be totally uninteresting to some and all of my 10 readers may dislike it, but I feel like change is coming to my blog and I am writing this post to map it out for myself. There are a lot of random thoughts here…

I Have Now Joined the Ranks of Church IT?
I received something yesterday that I haven’t received in almost 15 years (other than from myself), from a man I respect more each day as we begin to work together. A paycheck. It was really kind of strange actually. Over the past almost 15 years, Deb and I have owned our own business and worked…
