Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the…

    We live in a messed up world. People have taken something that is so easy and revolutionary and turned it into something complicated and regular.

    Genesis 7:1 The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. As I was reading through the story Noah a few days ago, I had this thought… What if Noah, after all that he had done, all the steps of…

    I used to try my best to make people happy… Never make anyone mad. Then, I came to my senses and realized… It’ll never happen. At least, if I’m doing what I should be doing. No matter who we look at over the course of history, anyone that did anything significant caused people to get…

    I love fried food….too much. When Melissa and I got a fryer a couple of Christmas’s ago, we immediately began to fry EVERYTHING. After a week or two, we started to think about how easy it is to fry something instead of cooking it the right way and the healthy way. In leadership, we can’t…

    Like most Sunday afternoons, yesterday I sat down to watch some football… (After all, Sundays are made for church, napping, and football.) As I was flipping through the games, I came across Tim Tebow and his first start in the NFL. For those of you that don’t follow football, Tim Tebow is a verbal Christian…

    It happens to all of us from time to time. Some may see it as what it is, others may be a little more naive. It may be the work of the enemy, it may be the work of the flesh. It’s that thing that tries it’s best to pull us from God. I’ve always…
