Leaving “Shittim”

Read Joshua 3 “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the star ship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.” Ever since I was a kid and first heard Captain James T. Kirk speak […]

“O Goodie! It’s Time For Refreshments!”

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my […]

What Does It Mean To Be Missional?

Do you remember that fellow who was possessed by demons?  He was called “legion.”  (You can read about him here: Luke 8:26-39).  I think I met him what i was a kid! When I was growing up down in Florida, there was a man living a block over from us that everyone in the neighborhood […]

Have A Grace-Filled New Year

As I write these thoughts, it’s “New Year’s Eve!”  In just a few hours (5 ½ hours as I begin writing these thoughts) 2010 will be history and 2011 will begin. So, have you made any “New Year’s Resolutions?”  I have. This year I plan to stop wasting so much time exercising. Instead, I plan […]

The Ugly Side Of Christmas

Read Matthew 2:16-18 – On this Sunday after Christmas – on what is one of the traditionally low attendance Sunday’s of the year, I have decided to do something that (for obvious reasons) I never do.  I am going to sing a solo.  In fact, I am going to sing one of my favorite holiday […]

Have One Hell Of A Christmas

I wonder why so many of my fellow preachers seem more interested in scaring the hell out of people rather than telling them about the good news about the life humanity has been offered through Jesus. I’m not saying there is no such thing as hell.  I just wonder about those folks who seem to […]
