Engaged: Part 2

My time at the park was pretty interesting. As soon as I arrived, it began to rain. Dark clouds invaded the sky, raindrops filled the air, and the temperature dropped immensely. I was still determined to engage technology and nature, so I hung around for awhile. I ended up driving back home in disappointment. As [...]

I am about to do something that I’ve never done before. Today, I will seek to engage nature and technology at the same time. Very often, we see both entities as unmixable; sort of like oil and water. Tommorrow will be a pretty hectic day for me. I am scheduled to speak at the Southern [...]

I believe that God is calling the church to be “outsider-focused.” It’s so easy for us to become consumed with our own needs and miss out on opportunities to impact the world for Christ. Looking at this video challenged my own priorities and values. Click here to take a look.

God wants us to have an undying love for Him. In Revelations 3:14-22, Christ rebuked the Church of Ladociea for their spiritual apathy. He said to them, “You are lukewarm – neither cold or hot-I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Ladociea had a pipe system that extended to the nearby city [...]

Today, Dafnette and I attended Trinity Temple of Prayer where my father-in-law is the pastor. The church held a birthday celebration for him. It was a blessing to be there in celebration with him. Before we going there, we attended Zion Church’s 8:30 a.m. service. We wanted to support Jeff Simmons, the assistant pastor, since [...]
Building Momentum

Momentum can be tough to build, but it’s exciting once it kicks into action. One of the things that we are trying to do early in our church plant is to build momentum. The little things may seem insignificant when you look at them in isolation. Yet, when they are done consistently, they help build [...]
Trust in the Moment of Fear

A small group from our launch met at our home last night. It’s amazing how God moves when His people worship and honor Him in community. I shared some insights from Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you; go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your [...]

Dafnette and I are beginning to discuss where we wish to go for our vacation this year. We went to Puerto Rico last year summer. We had a blast. We found a great deal through Cheap Caribbean. For me, the highlight of our trip was not relaxing on the sandy beaches. It was our two [...]
