Top Five Tuesday — Top Five Things I’ve Learned About The Bible SINCE Seminary
Lord knows I loved my time at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. I made great friends, was surrounded by phenomenal professors, and learned a method of bible study that finds its way into virtually every sermon I preach. In fact, each of the sermons-turned-chapters in Head Scratchers, Crash Test Dummies, The Storm Before The

Escape From Average Week 1 — The “A Real Looker” Sermon Rewind
Yesterday’s message … Drew its energy from John’s storytelling skill in turning a random encounter into a theological statement; Led to “get to know you” conversations with staff and leaders rather than “can we sign you up for kids’ ministry?” Drew a distinction between “John The Baptist” and “John The Author.” Built to this bottom

What?! The Unforgivable Sin?!?!
” . . . whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Frightening words from Mark 3:29. Yet it’s vital to remember that the unforgivable sin is not something you do. It’s an attitude you have. It’s not an act you commit. It’s a journey you

Storm Chasers, 2019
Most of us have been heartbroken over the spate of storms demolisthing part of our nation’s midsection. And I can’t think of storms with out thinking of storm chasers. Those folks in cars chasing tornadoes. And those folks in life who specialize in chasing down storms wherever they find them … and claiming them as

Over the Memorial Day Weekend, WRFX, Charlotte’s Classic Rock station (defined in these parts as a heavy dose of Lynrd Skynrd with occasional morsels of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC) counted down its Five Hundred Greatest Rock Songs Of All Time.

#Brave, Week 5 — The “Victory Parade” Sermon Rewind
Yesterday’s message … Brought the “Brave” series to a close by looking at some of final words in the final book of the biblical library; Starting out with a seriously-not-serious look at all the Super Bowl Victory Parades they’ve had in New England; Hinged on John’s reference to the Lamb’s Book Of Life in Revelation
