For years the blobfish was voted the ugliest animal on the planet. Which as you can see on the bottom picture it aint exactly cute. The bad thing is that is kind of what I look like when I shave. Being voted ugliest anything is not a good thing. Sometimes we feel like we belongContinue reading “Lesson from a blobfish”

Hell ain’t a party
I have seen these types of pictures on my feed since the passing of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. It is sad…there needs to be an honest conversation about eternity. There was a decision made a few decades ago that we need focus on Life in Christ and not focus on hell. I am a proudContinue reading “Hell ain’t a party”
It ain’t about being cocky…
I’m sitting here on a Saturday watching the 4th round of the 2025 NFL draft. I love the draft. I love the idea that these men have worked their whole lives towards a goal and now it is being realized. I love how these men have no idea where their careers will begin…some will getContinue reading “It ain’t about being cocky…”
What I learned from Kendrick Lamar from the Superbowl.
So, last night was Superbowl LIX. The halftime show has become as much of a draw as the game…sometimes more! This year, Kendrick Lamar was the performer. Now, as a fifty year old white man, I will admit I was not his core demographic. So, this morning I scoured the internet to see what otherContinue reading “What I learned from Kendrick Lamar from the Superbowl.”

The churches that grow verses the ones that don’t are the ones that prepare not just for the growth but the transitions between the stages of growth. In my experience there are a few numerical stages that seemContinue reading “Transitions”
Listen to your body
So, Sunday I had an “episode” between our two worship services. My eyesight got blurry, I saw stars and almost passed out. I made my way to my office and collapsed in my chair. My wife and several others encouraged me to go to the hospital. Which, of course I didn’t. Out of the abundanceContinue reading “Listen to your body”
Perfection is overrated.
Getting it perfect is overrated. Don’t get me wrong I believe we should strive for excellence in whatever we do but sometimes when you focus so hard on getting something perfect it causes a level of stress that is just not worth it. I read an article in Golf Digest a long time ago whereContinue reading “Perfection is overrated.”
Why we are Great Commission Baptists(SBC)?
WHY ARE WE BAPTISTS? We are defined by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the good news. The Great Commission Baptists are a cooperative of like minded churches whose foundation is the gospel of Jesus Christ and the mission of sharing that gospel throughout the world. By cooperating with thousands of other churches (theContinue reading “Why we are Great Commission Baptists(SBC)?”
Unity is overrated.
There has been quite a lot of talk this week about “unity”. President Biden tried to bring the very divided country together with a speech…the speech spoke often of unity. Then within a day he began to do things that others found quite divisive. Here is the thing…unity is overrated…it is unrealistic and since theContinue reading “Unity is overrated.”
