I’m not sure why anyone would want to do it. Do something that would make God go to war against you.
Open Concept
I’m pretty hooked on home improvement shows—at least the good ones.
Become Mature And Attain The Whole Measure Of The Fullness Of Christ
Following Jesus is a HIGH calling! Not only are we to become mature, but here are two more phrases that feel exaggerated: “the whole measure” and “the fullness of Christ.”
The (He)Art And Science Of Leading
I believe our job as worship leaders is to create spaces where people can meet God.
Three Ways Out Of Fear
Stop me when this sounds familiar. I got a text from a worship director. It said, “I wanted to tell you that my wife felt ill and tested positive for COVID, so tomorrow I can’t be with you.”
It’s Not Futile
I was pushing a wheelbarrow across the discipleship training school base next door on my way to pick up some dirt for our garden.
