Those of us that are out there in ministry need to be willing to break out of this reliance on Mark Driscoll to come in a clean up the City and our Colleges, He can’t do it alone… and he shouldn’t have to, we need to learn to fight on our own. We may not have the stature or the size but we serve the same God.

Taking my eyes off Jesus
Posted in Christianity, Life, tagged God's love on February 18, 2010 | 4 Comments »
Lately life has been going 200 miles per hour without a break in sight…. Turns out if you run to fast for to long you crash. And that’s just what happened to me. I’ve been sick as a dog and honestly panicked, knowing that the work load isn’t letting up and I have a couple [...]
To Covet Community (Does the Church owe the LGBTQ Community an apology) a follow up
Posted in Christianity, Culture, Life, Missional on November 5, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Do we realize that our fellowship, our unity is not only just holy, and good, and right before the Lord. But that it is beautiful, and life giving, and it is a demonstration of grace and hope?
Consider this, do your relationships say more to the world than your religion.

Fast forward to me sitting in front of Kim in prison (being a pastor has its privileges). Bro what happened, I asked. The answer would changed me forever. Kim and Haranto had been having a relationship together and Haranto was going to expose Kim. I could hardly breath, Why, why did you have to kill him? Why didn’t you come to us? We are your brothers. The answer, “You would have never accepted me, I heard what you guys called people like me, I came to the bible studies, I knew God wouldn’t love me because of who I am…

Would Jesus Smoke with me? If so what would he smoke, a cigar, a cigarette, or how about a “J”? I would love your opinions on this topic. Is this a cultural issue or a moral one? If you think he would Why, and if you think he wouldn’t why not? Does the time 2009 [...]

Approaching homosexuality

What would you say to someone, a Christian psychologist, who states that you should approach “treatment” with homosexuals by trying to make them heterosexual, trying to show them their wrong, and altering their sexual perceptions to an accurate sexual drive.
Pushing for Greatness
Posted in Christianity, tagged , Bible, Doug Murphy, ruth, salem church on November 2, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I think possibly the most difficult thing about being a pastor is getting people to believe God created them for greatness—I’m not saying that there won’t be tragedy or defeat; but to paraphrase Paul in Ephesians, we aren’t saved by good works but for good works! This week I was teaching from the book of [...]
The Training Ground of God

Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1 David was a man skilled in war. From his days as a shepherd boy to the days of serving in Saul’s army to leading his own army, David learned to be a skillful warrior. How does [...]
