Second Saturday // Big House

Cornerstone has partnered with a local agency here in the Auburn/Opelika area called the Big House. The Big House supports foster families here in the Lee County area. For the past several months we’ve had the opportunity to go out on Second Saturday and help the Big House slowly work on various parts of a [...]

Uganda // Another Day

Part the First—Bethany Village Another killer sunrise. Hard to beat watching that come up over Lake Victoria. The team had the opportunity this morning to go and see Bethany Village. Bethany is an orphanage/school that has been around for around 11 years now. Bethany is a true testament to the transformational power of Christ. Even [...]

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 [...]

Craziness // neverending

There was a moment where Kristen and I thought May could possibly be one of the craziest months of the year for us. It seemed as if every weekend was filled with some new form of business and there was no apparent end in sight. Those feelings were washed away as the June calendar began [...]

the Church as deaf and blind // part one

This may be an entirely random post, or it could be a moment of truth, you decide. As I was driving home from rehearsal last night, Helen Keller popped into my head for some reason of which I am entirely unaware. In any case, I began to process her life and think about what it [...]

What’s the best advice you’ve heard on relationships as it applies to either of the [...]

Called Out // to look different

I hear this phrase often. “You are to look different than the world.” Or, “I question those ‘believers’ who look like the world.” Or, “That church is too worldly.” And when I hear these phrases, I wonder what they really mean. I understand that Scripture over and again that we have been “called out” or [...]

Believers // are you demonstrating it

I did a little short post yesterday on the world recognizing us (believers) by our love. I did that post for several reasons, but one was in order to set up for this post about believers, about Christians and how the world sees us. I had a conversation with my friend Eric several weeks ago [...]
