I caught this quote off of Mike Cope’s blog. It’s Christopher Wright on unlearning some things regarding evangelism:
“…Another piece of unlearning we must do is breaking the habit of using the term mission field to refer to everywhere else in the world except our home country in the West. The language of home and mission field is [...]

Can you root for a player to win but their team to lose?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I have this quandry. I love stories where someone overcomes adversity to accomplish something great. Especially in sports. There are certain players that I want to do well, I just really don’t want their team to win. I hate the Eagles, but I kinda rooted for Jeff Garcia to do well, because of all he [...]
Puppies Are Stupid

We have a new puppy. His name is Jack. Jack Sparrow to be exact, oh, excuse me, “Captain Jack Sparrow”. He is some kind of terrier mut we found at the pound. Officially he belongs to my oldest daughter. He was one of her Christmas presents.
Here’s the problem. I don’t have a lot of patience [...]
Hooked on 24

Holy mushroom cloud, Batman. I watched my first episode of 24 last night, the second 2 hours of a 4 hour, 2 night premier. It was very good. Really good. I have listened to everyone talk about it, blog about it, use it for sermon fodder, but had never watched it till last night. I [...]

It’s been in the news for a while that the Richland Hills Church of Christ will be offering an instrumental service on Saturday night, along with communion. Now if you don’t know anything about us Cof C’ers, you wouldn’t know that there are certain sacred cows that you don’t question, namely that instrumental music in worship [...]
Pride is like Neverland

I preached Sunday on King Uzziah from 2 Chronicles 26, using him as a model for the destructiveness of pride. For those not familiar, he became king at a very young age, was taught the fear of God by Zechariah, did outstanding things as king. But the tagline for the whole story is in v.5, “as long [...]
“You aren’t worthy of Jesus”
Posted in Uncategorized on January 4, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Have you ever said those words to anyone? Those are startling words for me as I read through Matthew 10. I’ve never told anyone they weren’t worthy of the Lord. But I think maybe I should.
Jesus is sending the twelve on a mini-mission to do two things, preach the kingdom and heal sick people. The amazing thing [...]

I vow to be a better blogger. No, honest. I’m not kidding. Yeah, for real this time. Really.

The Oklahoma/Boise State Fiesta Bowl was the best bowl game I have ever seen. Choosing the old statue of liberty play on a two point conversion to win or go home? Holy bejeebers! I wish OK could have won, but [...]
