  • The Systems Are in Place…

    Over the past few months I have been preaching on the Holy Spirit. One of the key areas of Spirit-filled life I’ve examined is Acts 2:42. The Early Church had a “system” to catch what the Spirit was doing in their lives. 1. The apostles’ teaching 2. Fellowship 3. The breaking of bread (which I… Read more

  • Good to Great in God’s Eyes

    Chip Ingram has a book out called Good to Great in God’s Eyes. I am using as a staff book for my church. While the first chapter is a bit more simplistic than I had hoped, there are some great thoughts. One of the key areas to greatness in the Kingdom of God is to… Read more

  • Loving the Church

    This review gives me another chance to simply say: “I love the Church!” I truly love the Body of Christ and love the Church. This book is one I need to put on my list and get! This quote is a good one: We need to be reminded that: there is no language in Scripture… Read more

  • Fire

    I am currently working my way through 1 Corinthians. Chapter 3 is a place where I walk carefully. This time through has not been very easy for me. It’s not easy any time. It’s about building.
