If you were at LifePoint Church on Sunday you heard me share a message in the adult services on serving. We looked at John 13 where Jesus showed the full extent of his love by washing the feet of his disciples. He could have done anything he wanted, but he chose to take on the role of a servant. It's a pretty powerful story because Jesus turned our ... [Continue Reading]

A prayer experiment
Since we finished reading through the Bible in a year, I noticed that my focus on reading was a hindrance to my prayer life. I've decided to take a new focus this year on prayer. I have a pocket-sized Moleskine journal (maybe the best journal ever invented), and I made a page for each day of the month. On each day I have a group of people that I am ... [Continue Reading]

An olympic effort
I was proud of my country last night. It's not the first time I've been proud of the United States, but last night I watched a team of first-time olympic competitors in men's gymnastics peform better than anyone could have expected or hoped. These guys made everything look so effortless, and they earned a bronze medal against all odds. ... [Continue Reading]

One Day (Psalms 82-83, 137, and 126)
The Psalms speak of a day when Israel will be restored as a nation, when mouths will be full of laughter, and when there will be shouts of joy. We don't know when this day is, whether near or far. All we know is that it's on its way. One day we will sing praises before the Lord, and we will worship Him without hindrance. One day we will ... [Continue Reading]
Let everything that has breath… (Psalms 134 and 146-150)
Psalm 150 will forever be etched in my mind with an experience I had as a sophomore in college. I was part of the Chorale at Taylor University, and we took a mission trip to Russia to participate in an International Music Festival in Yekaterinburg. One of the songs in our concert was Psalm 150. Imagine being in a country where people weren't ... [Continue Reading]
