  • My People

    All over Scripture, different individuals would advocate for their people. Moses, David, Esther, Daniel, and even Jesus prayed for and advocated for “my people.” They cried out to God and ask that “my people” would be spared or that “my people” be protected. Their national and ethnic identities are tied…

  • Almost Died

    Have you ever experience – “I should have died.” I’m talking – looking at dying. Ten years ago yesterday, I “Almost Died.” The reason I almost died was a car accident where my head went through my car windshield. I fractured my forehead and my frontal sinus – a plate…

  • Did you know…

    that I’m a worship pastor again. Led for the first time today.

  • Worship for self

    I went to small group recently and the pastor asked everyone what they thought of when they thought about worship. Everyone talked about worship elements that they liked and that worked for them. No one said anything about who they were worshipping. We had an entire conversation about worship and…

  • 5 Sacrifices

    Of the 5 sacrifices in the first part of Leviticus – which ones do I offer up still. Well, I don’t actually kill animals for my sacrifice, I offer me. It’s been an interesting concept for me. I will offer it up in the morning and forget by the afternoon.…

  • Well-Qualified Buyer

    I found out this week that I’m a well-qualified buyer. I’m not sure what that means exactly, but it got me 2.9% financing on my new vehicle that I purchased this week. It’s been an interesting thought. Well-qualified really means that I have just increased my liability. I guess it’s…

  • Detox

  • Need

    Individuals need a sense of uniqueness and a sense of belonging.

  • Beyond these doors

    I’m listening to a song by a friend of mine – Drew Collins. When I say I’m listening to it, I mean that it’s the only song that has been playing on my ipod for the last 24 hours. I must have listened to it a few hundred times. Beyond…

  • DC in Zimbabwe

    So my wife is in Zimbabwe. She arrived yesterday after traveling almost 40 hours. She’s out there with my mother-in-law, and they are with Operation of Hope. They will do almost 70 surgeries, plus bring a young man back to Zimbabwe that was in much need of medical help. http://www.operationofhope.org.…

  • Is it who I am or because I’m in this role?

    I was talking to my father-in-law last night. We were talking shop, and I was sharing with him how much I appreciate him. I can’t believe that he tells me what he does-not because I don’t want him to tell me. We have great conversations. We talk about deep and…
