A little reminiscing.

Tonight, I got the chance to hang around with my family for a little bit and enjoy some home-cooked goodness thrown together by my mom.
Man, my family is such a blessing to me.  They are something I will never take for granted, they are incredible.  It was good to hang out with them, maybe not [...]

Don’t miss your opportunity.

I challenged about 5 of my very closest friends tonight to never miss an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus.  Plain and simple. 
The basis for the challenge was this Scripture. 
Don’t miss your opportunity to communicate the Gospel clearly to someone.  Not necessarily with words either.  Just don’t miss the opportunity.
Every conversation you have throughout your day [...]

My trip to Elevation…

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to head up to Elevation Church to see what those guys are up to.  My mind was blown.  I was so encouraged.
A few things I noticed:

 The excellence started the moment we drove onto the campus of Providence High School.  We were welcomed, and we felt like we were wanted [...]

Say What?

Ran across this verse yesterday.
I’m sorry, but it’s funny to me that that is in the Bible.  Come on, you know it’s funny.

A quick dose of blunt-ness.

In preparation for entering the promise land, the thickness is being laid down.
I believe that being [...]

Check your focus.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that one of the biggest struggles as a Christ follower is keeping your focus.
With 24 hours in a day, and 7 days a week, there’s a lot of potential for meaninglessness.  You know what I mean?
I’ll give the enemy some “props” real quick, because he’s [...]

Leadership Lesson #2

Here is Leadership Lesson #1 – Appointment vs. Occupation
Here is Leadership Lesson #2.
The Scripture: Deuteronomy 3:27-28.
Ready. Set. Go.
I’m becoming more and more aware of the principle of leadership as I make my way through the Bible.

Don’t forget…

I arrived at Deuteronomy 8 this morning.  And dang…Deuteronomy 8, check it out.
A common theme I’ve gathered so far in Deuteronomy is remembrance.
You constantly see Moses saying, “Remember how…” so on and so on, and then  he recalls all of the incredible things that God has done for them on their 40 year journey out [...]

Let me recommend.

Over the past year or so I’ve got the chance to know Clayton King pretty well.  I remember the first time I talked to Clayton on the phone, he challenged me.  
Clayton is passionate about seeing men in the ministry make it for the long run.  He shared with me a lot of statistics about [...]
