    This morning, I had an opportunity to preach about something that I believe is one of the most important concepts found in the Bible. It’s the concept that the family is the primary spiritual disciplers of their children. For years, the church has refused to talk about this. After all, putting work back on to…

    If I could say 5 things to Christians, these would be them…. 1. Tradition means nothing in the course of eternity. It doesn’t matter what we’ve always done or how we’ve always done it. What matters are the amount of eternities being changed. When tradition stops the progress of the Holy Spirit, it’s time to…

    1 Timothy 3:15b”…This is the church of the living God, which is the pillar and foundation of the truth.” I love the church. It is God’s one and only plan at spreading the Gospel. It is Christ’s beautiful bride. It is also that foundation and pillar for the truth, with Christ being the cornerstone. What…

  • Accomplishing Vision

    We have to celebrate when we accomplish our vision. We have to take some time to celebrate all that God has allowed us to do. We have to evaluate where we were when we began the journey and look at the growth that has taken place. We have to praise God for allowing us to…

    Vision can often get fuzzy while in the heat of battle. Our temporary frustrations combined with our desire for comfort can often prohibit us from seeing our vision. We often become frustrated to the point of calling it quits and returning to the mediocre accomplishments that we had before. We see an example of this…

    “Don’t exchange short term contentment for long term vision.” This was a quote that I found in my quiet time journal from several months ago. It was completely Spirit given!  Many times we exchange our God given vision for a quick solution to a problem. We settle for what we think will make our lives…

  • Why We Don’t Like Change

    People don’t like change! We don’t like for our routine to be messed with and certainly don’t like to be stretched to do something that we’ve never done. Here are a few reasons why I believe people resist change… Change is the opposite of comfort. Change means that we won’t know how to react to…

    I have been at Calvary for a little less than 4 months now. Since I’ve been there, I have been trying to institute a completely new idea of student ministry…family ministry. I believe in this concept and believe that it’s something that Calvary really needs to grasp and run with. I have implemented this so…

    I’m no marketing expert, but I do know that when someone recognizes a brand, they are more likely to trust it. When given the choice between a brand that someone recognizes and one they don’t, they are going to pick the one that recognize (at the same price). College football teams recognize this. Many teams…
