As I was preparing for this last Sunday’s sermon, I ran across this article on early non-Christian source witnesses that is pretty interesting.  It outlines some of the more famous non-Christian accounts that reference Jesus as a real person along with the activities of early 1st century Christian.  Here is a separate article that gives credence to the historicity [...]
how much of Jesus was predicated upon John? http://bible.us/n/61Xv.
Boy, I never thought I would look forward to Monday coming… Â But, today has been exhausting – good, but exhausting! Â We had several people at church make the decision to just let Jesus heal them, that’s cool when people give up their brokenness to find wholeness in Jesus! Â I’m looking forward to seeing how I [...]
Just thinking about the difference between faith and belief (not that there should be a firm line drawn between the two), but one of the core differences in our language is that belief simply denotes an intellectual acceptance of an idea. It does not denote an action that must be taken out of that belief. [...]
Our December message series is “Chill”, I’m excited about trying to help people find some margin in their life at the Holidays. It seems like our lives are already busy, basketball practice to drop kids off at, games to go to, meetings for work that run late, Doctors appointments, homework, finals, and a million other [...]
Jenni and I are having a garage sale today and tomorrow (if you need any little boy clothes from newborn to 4T – don’t look anywhere else). Anyway, it makes me think of all the stuff in my life that is just junking it up and how badly I need a good spring (or fall) [...]

I was thinking today about how unbelievable some of the miracles in the bible are. Whales eating a guy and spitting him back on shore, bodies of water splitting and the land drying up so that people could walk across it, and many more. At first I was thinking about how hard it is to [...]
I can’t tell you how nice it is to be in a house again! Jenni and I have been moving around for the last 2 years like vagabonds, living in small, cramped, dark places as we prepared to move to Andover to plant Epic. It has all been worth it, but now that we are [...]
I was thinking about my poor baby Peter. He’s sick, and is having to take breathing treatments to help him breathe better. The thing that is really hard about this is that he doesn’t understand what’s going on. He pushes the apparatus away and doesn’t want anything over his face. I wish there was a [...]
