With the World Cup just around the corner…I thought I would share some spiritual analogies in regards to the world cup. (Note: for those of you who do not know what the World Cup is, shame. It’s the largest sporting event in the world for the world’s largest sport – football aka soccer aka calcio [...]

Updated by God
Well, we just got back from Brasil last week. What an amazing time that was! We saw hundreds get saved, healed and touched by the power of God. Paige and I (plus interns from 220) left on Sunday and were in the Brasilian state of Paraibo. We were preparing the city for a crusade that [...]
Top 10 reasons for…top 10 lists!
Seriously. I heart top 10 lists! 10) They are easy to read. 9) They take very little time to read. They are written at a 4th grade reading level. (Which seems to be the average American’s reading level) 7) They can be written very quickly. (I am almost done writing this list.) 6) Even my [...]
TMI!
(*Note this post is intended for humor. Do not get offended.) I still have this love/hate relationship with twitter. I just can’t seem to break out one way or t’other (t’other = hymnal for “the other”, kind of like o’er = hymnal for “over”). Some days I really enjoy reading nuggets of truth or anecdotal [...]

Just about everyone on Earth is joining in to help out. Roughly $10 million has been texted to Red Cross in [...]

Questions have been circling in my spirit about all the things taking place on a national level, or more specifically, a western church level. While I can see and recognize a great deal of good coming about. There are also many things [...]
unSecret Christian Fetish #4: My Preferences
On every website, on every cell phone, on every computer and just about everything we encounter nowadays there is a subtle hidden feature. It’s the “my preferences” feature. On your laptop you can adjust everything from icons to screen saver to background image. The same goes for your cell phones as well. The same also [...]
unSecret Christian Fetish #2 – Earthly Thinking
It’s hard to truly fathom heaven and eternity. In fact, in hebrew, the definition of eternity is time outside of the mind. So, having said that how can finite beings truly comprehend the infinite? Only through the mind of the Spirit (the mind of Christ). It’s very easy to get caught up in earthly thinking. [...]
Reasons to tweet
I like twitter, theoretically. I like it’s short format and soundbite-esque quality. But I am continually on the fence, in regards to it’s usefulness. I follow a number of people. Some are consistently interesting and some are consistently lame (I usually drop those people). Here are a couple of my pet peeves about tweets: (don’t [...]
