Wild Adventures

Today, my wife and I are taking only 6 of our youth to Wild Adventures in Valdosta GA. I have come to realize as I get older these little “excursions” become less and less appealing. One sign to me that I have officially turned into my dad, is that I am taking books to a [...]

Hmmm…..?

We’re singing a song as a special for this coming up fifth Sunday. One of the opening lines says ” …When I think about the times I let God down…” which has got me to thinking, do we ever really “let God down”. Doesn’t that statement suggest that we “surprised” God with our actions, as [...]

Back 2 School

Well I just completed my second night of school down in Savannah and I must say it will be an interesting semester! My classes are from 6-8 and 8-10 each night. It will truly be labor to stay awake for the later classes.
My first class on Monday is a class on the book of James. [...]

Why can’t the church be more like Jack Johnson?

An interesting title that caught my attention. I started reading Shawn Lovejoy’s blog about a month ago. He’s a church planter in the Atlanta area and I really enjoy his posts. He seems to have good food for thought, and I enjoy other people’s perspectives on the churched and unchurched.
In his article, “Why can’t the [...]

Monday Morning Musings

I wanted to give myself a title. Something that speaks a little of myself and who I am.  I am a youth pastor, a deacon in the church, and an aspiring minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. However I [...]

Another Year Older

Well it has come and gone. My birthday. Yesterday marked the celebration that took place 31 years ago in Jacksonville, FL.  Gone are the days of anticipation leading up to my birthdays. I used to get that excited feeling in my stomach, as if Christmas morning was about to approach. Not anymore.
I was asked by [...]

Mark Driscoll on Harsh Language

Mark Driscoll will be speaking @ Piper’s National Conference in September and oh how I wish I was going! Watch below and leave some comments on what you think. Too much? Too Radical? Right on? Let me know.

For all you H8trs out there…

Monday Morning Musings

Church will be the death of us all!
There I said it, I stand behind it, and although I’m not ready to quit, I really want too sometimes.
I guess if you took the people out of the church, it wouldn’t be so bad. And not all of the people either, just the arrogant, prideful, gossiping, hypocritical, [...]
