Thou Shalt Hang Out at Wells

OK, How can I not give another great Buzz Commandment on an awesome morning like this? This is my other favorite of the 10 Buzz Commandments, Commandment III:
BUZZ COMANDMENT III: THOU SHALT HANG OUT AT WELLS
Wells were ancient hang outs. They were the BC version of coffeehouses, chat rooms, and malls. Jesus didn’t invite [...]

Thou Shalt Read the 10 Buzz Commandments

I’ve been reading Mark Batterson’s 10 Buzz Commandments. This guy is cooler than the other side of the pillow. He’s got a handle on ministry culturally relevant, no… culturally engaged ministry. Plus, he is operating on a scale that is achievable by any of us. His church, National Community Church is an excellent [...]

UM Hall of Fame Banquet

In the world of sales and marketing, some might say I have “fire in my belly.” The fire is reserved for a few passions I have in life. I get fired up about my God, my family, my friends, my work, and a few other things. Among those other things is my [...]

Which Theologian Are You?

This quiz was passed along by a friend on a message board I read daily. It came by way of Ingrid Schlueter of the Slice of Laeodacia blog. It takes a couple minutes. A couple of the questions came across as slightly vague. It was very cool though. Here are [...]

If You don’t have love, you don’t have jack!

Paul is one cool cat. He’s never afraid to say it like it is. He was looking at the church and encouraging them to have one voice. It’s not that he wanted a bunch of clones hanging out in the New Testament Church. But, he wanted the good people in the [...]

Kourtney, why do we celebrate Easter?!?

I asked my 2 year old sweetheart, Kourtney why we celebrate Easter and here’s what she said (post Easter Kids Life Service).

We saw God at the Box Office!

God is really cool. I know first hand because I saw him at the Box Office today. He graced the theater as powerfully as the greatest cathedral man has ever built. He changed some lives. Right at 20 people made “the walk” into the altar (which is the aisle between the [...]

God is at the center of it all. [...]

Our Last Service at 1100 Old Dixie Hwy

Make This Easter Count

Easter comes around once a year. While Easter bunnies, peeps, and colored eggs are a part of our commercialization of the holiday, we have chosen this day as a day to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is the most powerful day of the year for Christians.
There is even more power for [...]
