Why I love D-Now Weekends
This weekend, over 200 students and adults will be involved in the annual DEEPER weekend at CrossPoint. 19 houses will be used by CrossPoint members to host students for a weekend of Bible study and fellowship. This year, we’ve invited Jonathan Clark; Campus Minister at Southeastern Louisiana University, to be our guest speaker. Our musical [...]
What do you post?
You have the power and privilege to post anything you want on facebook, twitter, or any social network of your choice. I’m making that assumption since you have the ability to read this post today on your computer. It’s a sweet…yet scary reality that can influence or discourage others within a few typed words. We can [...]
The end of a day and the results of His grace
Eden is lost in the woods of her dreams right now as she sleeps peacefully. Brooke is working on tomorrow’s lecture. The T.V is on, but we aren’t watching it. It’s the end of a day. Here are some results of God’s grace . (Lessons learned…by the perfect subject; my Savior). 1.God’s grace reminded me [...]
A short response from the Men’s Weekend
WOW. That’s the first word that comes to my mind when I think about last weekend. I’m so grateful for my church’s passion to invest in men. Each year, we host a “Men’s Weekend.” Close to 600 men gather from several churches, for a time of worship, Bible study, and accountability. For the past 2 [...]
Our Response in Serving Others
Many of you are already aware of the tornadoes that struck the Trussville/Clay area in Alabama. The devastation in certain subdivisions was unexplainable. Several families have had their entire lives changed. My heart breaks for them. It’s hard to return to my home this evening with the thought of their pain. In a tragedy such [...]
Home.
How would you define “home?” Would it be limited to a certain house with those you share life with? Would it be the history of your upbringing? Do you place your church family within the area you label “home?” I had a few minutes to type today as my friend Brad works in his office…at [...]
Snowed Inn
I’m still recovering from an incredible retreat with my students this past weekend. We spent the long weekend in Boone, NC. On Saturday and Sunday we skied at both Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain. God showed great grace in the fact that we didn’t have to make any trips to the ER! 3 Days of [...]
Don’t Waste His Time
This post came after a refreshing staff meeting this morning. Last week, the ministerial staff of CrossPoint started Entre Leadership by Dave Ramsey. So far, the first three chapters are solid. I like the practical insights that Dave Ramsey gives in areas such as: goal setting, passion, vision, and time management. This post contains some of [...]
The Gospel according to….hypertension.
For the dozen or more that read my blogs, you may recall a post that I wrote a while back about a recent discovery of high blood pressure during an evening trip to the grocery store. (Short story…I went to the grocery store a few months ago and checked my blood pressure. It was [...]
A run with my ipod shuffle
For the past two months, I have made it an effort to run at least 3 miles a day for about 5 days a week. On a few occasions, I managed to stretch the run out to 4 and even 5 miles. I never thought that I would write those words that you just read. [...]
