Before You Go To Church Readjust Your Expectations
We love to complicate simple things. The simple bottled water has turned into a multi-billion dollar industry that features flavor infused, protein added and whatever we can find to add in water and sell it. Human nature seem always to want more, better and bigger. And while this desire to improve on what we have,…

Growing Love in Your Kids at Christmas
Guest post by Dr. Tim Elmore Love. We probably talk about this concept more today than ever before, but actually practice it less than ever. At least in the way God intended us to do so. We find love in movies, romance novels, in Hallmark cards, on YouTube, and on bumper stickers. At Christmas time,…

Should I Wear a Hat?
So what’s the deal with men’s hats? Who should wear them and what style? Hats have been a staple of men’s fashion since Adam decided to wear a nice crown made of bay leaves, so the rumor goes. Some hats are more utilitarian, like Beanies, keep our heads warm during the cold months, even though…

Mannequin Evangelism: A Faith Discussion When You Least Expect
Yesterday was an interesting day. I spent most of it carrying a mannequin around downtown Nashville in sub freezing temperatures.

After spending the night at our house one weekend, Josh attended a service at the downtown campus of Cross Point Church. He sat quietly through worship and teaching but afterward spoke his peace “wow, I wish my church was…

The Day I Lost My Life (or My iPhone)
Yesterday I panicked like I haven’t panicked in a long, long time. As a matter of fact, I can’t remember feeling so lost and out of sorts like I did at the Orlando airport. Most of the time, I’m very decisive. When things don’t go as planned, I usually have a plan B or C…

Are You a Gracious Person? I’m Not Sure I Am
There’s nothing more refreshing than a gracious person. I have spent the past two days playing golf with pastors of very large churches at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fl. And for those of us who have to work hard and can’t play golf regularly (I’m just bitter because of the sad state of my golf…
