Mission Work in Solferino, Mexico
I had the recent opportunity to travel to Solferino, Mexico a few weeks ago to get everything ready for our team of nine guys who will travel down this Thursday to work with our partner church there. The video that I shot below will give you some perspective on what we hope to accomplish. Our [...]
Update on my Church Initiatives Post
So after I used the Putting America Back to Work sign on my drive to the church as an example, they have since taken down the sign. I guess after it has been up for a few years without any signs of progress, it was time to remove it. We can learn something in church [...]
Church Initiatives and Visions from God
Maybe, you have seen one of these signs in your community? I pass one everyday on my way to the church, but the funny thing is it has been posted by this intersection for over a year and I’ve never seen anyone working near it. They did try once for a couple of weeks, some [...]
Palestinian / Israeli Conflict and the Gospel
I just finished reading the book Son of Hamas by Mosab Hassan Yousef printed by Tyndale House Publishers. It was a book that once I began reading I just couldn’t put it down. The story describes the journey of Mosab, who is the oldest son of one of the founders of the Palestinian group of [...]
What Do You Really Mean When You Worship?
Saw this video from Church Mag. The real question from the video is what do you mean when you worship? Are the words of your mouth a true reflection of your heart? The video is funny, but I wonder how sadly is this true? See their article here: Wrong Way to Worship
Courageous – Better than Fireproof
Karen and I got to go see the special preview of the new movie Courageous last night at the Fox. It was a fun time, as we got to walk the red carpet and have our picture made in front of the banner and then proceeded in to get our free popcorn and coke to [...]
My Attempt at Being More Reflective…Using Art
One of the things that I really want to get back in the habit of doing is being more reflective. Slowing down to just process life. You know what I mean, sometimes we get so caught up in everything and it gets going so fast, that we just never slow down enough to take inventory [...]
What a Beanie Baby Taught Me about God
So it was the last day of Christmas break for the boys and Karen decided to take them to the movies to see Yogi Bear and spend the day together. After viewing the movie, they came by the church office to say hello and then went back home. Towards the end of the day, Karen [...]
Do People Really Need Meatloaf?
So I was driving down a major six lane road on Wednesday night in an extremely affluent part of the Atlanta suburbs when I passed by a church and happened to notice their digital sign out front. It was broadcasting to everyone on the road saying, “Tonight’s Dinner: Meatloaf.” I got to thinking about this [...]
The Big Red Tractor and Church
I came across the following illustration from Francis Chan about church and thought that it is really great. I hope that we will rely on the power of the tractor and not our own strength. I hope you enjoy it as well. Little Red Tractor from South Georgia Church of God on Vimeo.
