Days 20 and 21 were grace days so I just finished reading the first part of the Gospel of John for day 22.  I know I sound like a broken record but I was blown away by reading John.  The passion of Jesus is clearly seen in the first 10 chapters.  Here’s a verse that jumped out at me early [...]

While it’s certainly cold outside, there are currently no weather related problems that would stop us from having a service tomorrow.  The forecast calls for a 10% chance of some snow overnight but I doubt this is going to happen because the weather folks always lie about snow to us Georgians.  (You know that’s true.)  Right now, the plan is [...]

Well, it’s crunch time on the NT28 reading plan and I’m working hard to end on time this weekend.  I just finished reading the stuff for day 19 and, as usual, I loved it.  I especially loved reading 1 Timothy again.  That book always speaks to me.
When I first felt called into ministry, God really used 1 Timothy to encourage [...]

My dear old friend, Gary Lamb, recently announced that he is going to start a new church in Canton. This has, of course, stirred up a great deal of debate. I’ve been silent about all of this up until now even though I’ve been getting a lot of questions from folks from all over the place asking me what I think. As much as it pains me, I feel that I must now say something publicly…

I just finished reading Colossians and Hebrews and I don’t mind tell you that Hebrews seriously pumped me up.  I love reading all about faith in chapter 11.  That list of folks and what they did by faith always encourages and challenges me!
The three words that kept jumping out to me in Hebrews were careful, honor and faith.  He kept [...]

Those of you that follow me on twitter know that I’m currently in Vegas.  You might be wondering why I’m here.  Well, there’s a Star Trek convention in town and I’m hoping to becoming fluent in Klingon.  :)  Actually, I’m here meeting with a group of amazing pastors from all over the country.  We’ve decided to start meeting quarterly to [...]

I just finished reading the day 17 selections and I think that more than anything else the amount of prayer that is mentioned just blows me away.  Again and again Paul talks about how he’s praying for folks.  He also tells them to pray at all times and to always give thanks.  I pray a good bit but I think [...]

This is going to be a very brief Sunday Stuff. I’m currently tapping this out on my phone via inflight wifi from 34,000 feet.
We had an outstanding day at Fusion today. I love the spirit of worship we’ve had during the last two weeks. God has just been so tangibly present. That’s so cool.
It was great to have Chad back. [...]

I just finished my readings for day 16.  I’m hoping to get a lot closer to catching up today.
What can I say about the gospel of Luke?  I just love reading about Jesus.  Again, the crucifixion stuff is hard to read but I love watching all that despair turn into joy as the disciples learn of the resurrection!
What about you?  [...]

This Sunday at Fusion, we’ll be starting a series that I have been wanting to do for a couple of years.  I’m so excited about it.  I feel like the time is finally right and that this going to be one of those series where the Lord just forever changes people!
The series is all about how to deal with disappointment [...]
