Spine Tingling Worship
When it comes to church, and I am Pentecostal when I reflect on this particular subject, we just flat out like “excitement.” There is emotion in our lives, so we don’t try to pull out emotion when it comes to singing and praise in a church service. As Pentecostals, we like to pray for people and things happen. But it…

Wait for It
I am a fan of the TV show “Psych.” One of the “Shawnisms” for awhile was when he said, “Wait for iiiiitttttt!!!” That is the life of Abraham. He has a promise. He will have a son.

Age Segregated Worship
For years I have preached against becoming some niche church. I don’t want to pastor a “40-something” church, or a “30-something” church… I want to pastor THE CHURCH. The Church reflects a family, not just people my exact age with my exact income level, education level, and life circumstance. Yet, that is what we are starting these days, and have…
