It’s the economy stupid

So, I must admit that there is something intriguing about watching the train wreck that is TBN. I know people that have either worked for this television network or have appeared on various programs they broadcast and many of them are great people and are there for the right reasons. Unfortunately, several, are there for [...]

Of Angels and Demons….

Last night, our Life Group started a short study on Angels and Demons.  We started with Angels and next week will continue with demons.

At first, it was clear that many in our group has some preconceived ideas on angels.  It is hard growing up with so many angels stories and concepts to really [...]

Divine Economics

There’s a power in poverty that breaks principalities 
And brings the authority’s down to their knees 
There’s a brewing frustration and ageless temptation 
To fight for control by some manipulation 
But the God of the Kingdoms and the God of the Nations 
The God of creation sends this revelation 
Thru the homeless and penniless Jesus the son 
The poor will inherit the [...]

Healer

I am not sure how many people will have heard the new Hillsong project “This is Our God”, as it was only released recently.
There is one amazing song coming forth from that project that I wanted to share a couple video clips around “Healer.”  This song was written by a man facing incredible crisis in [...]

So, what if people can’t hear you?

I found this you tube video today, and I must say it really speaks loudly to me on communication.  I realize on almost a daily basis how lacking we are in communication.  How many times do we (churches) say things, but those around us or our community can’t hear what we are saying?  How more [...]

What’s wrong with people?

Ok, so the video below is a bit dated, but I just came across it today over at Matt’s blog.  

I have often wondered about people.  How can people become so caught up in something that isn’t real? How can people be fooled so easily?  Politicians have been doing it for years…. [...]

A glimpse of the future?

I used to sit back and wonder about families and what in the world is wrong with people.  I would think, “What is so hard about the family dynamic between inlaws?”  Well as of today, I no longer wonder what is up with people.  I have always thought that my relationship with the inlaws was [...]

Exile

Jeremiah 29:11 -  “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
 
So, we’ve all heard this verse, ad nauseam, and I’ve even studied it multiple times in school… but I am not sure it ever [...]

Shine Out the Light

Yesterday, I was driving down the road heading into the office.  I realized that a truck with a trailer of some sort was stopped in the road on the right hand lane with his blinkers on.  I then noticed the driver jump out of the truck and run around the front. 
 
The man was wearing a [...]
