Christian Credit Card
For some reason I felt like browsing through our local “Family Christian” book store. I was praying God would give me the okay to knock some precious moments off the shelves or play frisbee with a Thomas Kinkade painting. Unfortunately, he did not allow it.

Step by Step…
God is doing some very amazing things in my life. It is exhilarating, crazy, and unnerving all at the same time. I feel like I just got snatched by a fast moving train and it is all I can do to hang on. I am so grateful for having to opportunity to go to the [...]
Acts 29 Boot Camp - A Landmark
I have the amazing privilege of tagging along with David at the Acts29 Boot Camp in Raleigh,NC. It has been one of those defining moments in my life that I will be able to look back and know that is the spot God “wrecked me”. I am reminded of Prov.22:28 “ Do not [...]

Sojourn Church meeting in Lincoln Village
The voice in my head say…

Ed Stetzer Church Planting Report…
http://blogs.lifeway.com/blog/edstetzer/2007/09/church_planting_research_1.html
Interesting… It gives some insight to what church planting methods might be more successful than others. It completely focuses on mechanics/academics and not so much on spiritual/biblical/calling factors…
I have mixed feeling about this report… I know church planters who follow these ‘higher success’ methodologies and have experienced explosive growth and have elaborate productions at the [...]

2. Systematic Theology - Louis Berkhof - 784 pages
3. The Person of Christ - Donald Macleod - [...]
