Who are you working for?

Today’s post really smacked me in the face. I’ve read this verse before but not in a way that made me realize how much I look for approval in other people. So many times we want other people to tell us things like: “You are doing a great job!” “Thank you!” “Great message” “I really [ READ MORE ]

God’s power is in you!

The Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as he raised Christ from the dead, he will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you. – Romans 8:11 I keep coming across followers of Christ who are depressed, sad and feel like they [ READ MORE ]

First, we have the 10 Commandments of BCM Conflict Resolution We randomly found this the other day. These used to be posted around the building to help students deal with conflict between each other.

Fix your eyes

Hebrews 12:2 – Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. How many times do we focus on ourselves? I am so stinking selfish! [ READ MORE ]

How God uses leaders in the church

I was so BUMMED that I didn’t get to go to Catalyst West this year (or ever!). However, I did follow it on Twitter and kind of felt like I was there. One of the things that most caught my eye was that Mark Driscoll had his notes on the Resurgence website even before he [ READ MORE ]

I am stinkin selfish

A reminder…

Yesterday morning, during my time with God, I asked Him to show me that He has everything under control – that He is in charge. This week has been very stressful with our family still being sick, a conference I am planning, working on national stuff, and a meeting that announced budget and positions being [ READ MORE ]

I can do it better than you…seriously, I can.

I can do it better than you…seriously, I can. This is a statement I am really trying to work on right now. I mean I know what I want, I know how I want it done, I know what the outcome will look like if I do it. Why should I take the time to [ READ MORE ]

I’m overwhelmed – no blogging for the next 2 weeks

I sat down this morning and a rush of exhaustion/stress/God/oh junkness/what do I do came over me! No blogging for 2 weeks! Please pray because I want to reach freshman more than ever before. I’ve seen too many go down the drain. Not anymore. But for those of you who want something here is what [ READ MORE ]

Too Fast?

I’ve been trying to slow my life down. My new kid really helped me with this. Especially as I couldn’t go on the spring break mission trip and now my wife said no to me going to India on a mission trip this summer. I need to slow down. The past three years I’ve been [ READ MORE ]
