Most would agree, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. The radio stations have been playing the songs since August. Stores have been capitalizing and monopolizing on the season since the summer. It’s Christmas…and even the most devoted follower of Jesus can get distracted and swept away in all the hustle and bustle. Nevertheless,… Continue reading Sharing the Gospel through Christmas Carols

Worshiping Through Thanksgiving
Giving thanks is important. It sets things in proper perspective and allows the given to give proper thanks to the giver. That’s why I love Thanksgiving so much. It’s a time when families get together without some of the pressures of Christmas and have an opportunity to enjoy each other and some time to pause and reflect on… Continue reading Worshiping Through Thanksgiving
The Communities We Create Communicate
I love to watch people, because people are fascinating. They come from all walks of life. They all have different stories. Every one of us with their own specific mannerisms and interesting idiosyncrasies. I love observing the way that people interact socially. Some are wired for it and fueled by it. Some have to work… Continue reading The Communities We Create Communicate
The Fruit of Focus
Throughout all of history, people have always held the propensity to lose focus. Unfortunately, God’s people are not exempt from this. Last month I wrote a blog dealing with replenishing yourself as the leader with living water and the dangers of drying up spiritually. You can read it HERE. Today, I want to deal with… Continue reading The Fruit of Focus
Replenished with Living Water
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. (Psalm 42:1) In California’s Imperial Valley, deep in the Sonoran Desert, there’s a shallow man-made lake called the Salton Sea. The area was formerly a resort destination for Hollywood celebrities back in the 50’s and 60’s. The problem is that over… Continue reading Replenished with Living Water
Captivated by Comparison
Comparison doesn’t have to be a dirty word. It allows us to see similarities and differences. It allows us to see deficiencies and areas in which we can grow or improve. Comparison doesn’t have to be negative at all, but if we’re not careful, it is possible for us to become captivated with comparison. Where’s… Continue reading Captivated by Comparison
Seeing New Sights on a Boring Treadmill
In our local churches, we are all on treadmills. Whether it’s a steady diet of meetings, deadlines, or maybe even rehearsals, for all of us, there’s the added pressure that weekend services are most definitely coming. Don’t get me wrong, they are probably all necessary routines (ok, at least most of them), but routines nevertheless… Continue reading Seeing New Sights on a Boring Treadmill
Making Your Teams Better Through Encouragement
We all want our teams to grow. For some of us, we want those teams to grow in number and for some, we desire the few to be strengthened and grow in their development. For most of us, we long for both. There are a lot of ways that we can help our teams improve.… Continue reading Making Your Teams Better Through Encouragement
TEAM > Me
…the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. Ephesians 4:16 We just wrapped up another exciting college football playoff where the new champion was decided in the final one second… Continue reading TEAM > Me
Distracted With Much Serving
38 Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him… Continue reading Distracted With Much Serving
