Believing // doing

This post was inspired by this post. This post, in the immediacy of things is written for my wife and then for my family and then for my close friends and then to the body of believers at Cornerstone and then to the commuity of Auburn and then to the world. I don’t want to [...]

Uniquely Wired // knowing what you good at

Yesterday I made this comment: (you should know how your gifted so that you can meet needs [which applies just as much to churches as it does individuals]). Now I’m not sure if the parenthesis and brackets are in the right spots necessarily, and they don’t so much make sense here, but they did in [...]

Back to Community // infected by love

Today I’m back to community and a quote from “Irresistible Revolution.” As a reminder to what has been previously written, many red flags popped up during my reading of “Irresistible Revolution” based on some scripture interpretation and other ideas that Claiborne pushes in his book. But I’d prefer to talk with you in person about [...]

Life in Community // a redemptive, liberating process

Remember that post I did on community last week. Probably not. That’s okay, the thoughts on that are still rocking my world. Anyway, here’s of a church that is living it in the most practical way. I’m blown away by this. It has me speechless. A body of Believers not only talking about theology, but [...]

Forceful advancement // I’ve been overtaken

Randomly, I’m in one of those very emotional moods. Okay, so really, its not so random, I just cry a lot…I’m a baby like that. Today, as we worshiped as a body of Believers at Cornerstone, my heart was moved deeply. There were several technical difficulties throughout the day, but they did not matter so [...]

One Day // becomes today // that’s my plan anyway

This has without a doubt been one of the most emotionally tumultuous weeks that I’ve encountered in quite some time. Though it has pressed me forward personally, which is clearly a benefit to having to deal with weeks like this. One thing that I learned this week: I am the epitome of the guy who [...]

Pursuing Righteousness // reckless abandon in a holy direction

This week a challenge was extended to me unknowingly (unknowingly by the other person, I actually knew it, otherwise this post would be non-existent) that has deeply affected my every waking moment and actually in turn stirred some other conversations about my journey with Christ. It deals with my own pursuit of righteousness/lack thereof, or [...]

Community // doing life together

I left my inspiration for a pot-stirring post at home today, but there is one thing on my mind that I have to get out there, and it deals with the local church and community. I’ve had these thoughts for a long time (as I think anyone should who critically and rigorously studies the Scripture [...]

Two Roads // a single focus

I still don’t know what I want to talk about from last week, but I will tell you about a conversation I had today about leadership. Now, this analogy is not completely fleshed out, but we’ll see where it goes and you can tell me if you think its bogus or not. Perhaps you know [...]

The Problem // silence

The problem is that I just spent an entire week sitting on a beach reading a whole lot of information by some amazing thinkers and communicators which conjured up much in my brain and my spirit that presently make it difficult to know where to start in the regurgitation process. The next step will be [...]
