I’ve attached below information on an upcoming conference with some awesome speakers and workshops.  If you have any interest in missions (BTW, God’s heart is a missionary heart, and we ALL have a role to play in the global harvest), you may be interested in attending.  I won’t be able to attend the Friday part,Continue reading “Harvest Gathering, November 2-3”

John Piper posted what he shared at his granddaughter’s funeral today.  Cry with me. 

Not sure why I get the urge to blog at 11:30PM.  I’ve always considered myself a morning person.  I like the early morning hours, when the day is just waking up, watching the sun rise, feeling the cool morning breeze.  Nevertheless, here I am, at O’dark thirty, listening to the tunes on my Itunes playlist,Continue reading “Authentic Mission”

I’m participating in an online book club through Tim Challies’ site, Challies.com, and we’re going through JC Ryle’s book, Holiness.  Tim asked a while back if anyone was interested in commiting to read through some of the classics like Calvin’s Institutes or Augustine’s Confessions or Jonathan Edwards’ The Freedom of the Will.  There was aContinue reading “Holiness”

I’m on too many blogsites!!!  I’m one of the bloggers on my church’s site, Redeemer Community and we’re talking about the upcoming sermon series.  It will be covering what Redeemer is all about, sort of a doctrinal statement/missional statement series of messages.  I’m really excited about it and have been involved in the conversations inContinue reading “Missional Living”

OK, maybe you’ve already heard of this band.  I’m not as cool, but I’m catching up.  I just downloaded the entire new album from Relevant Magazine.  Download from here.  Awesome sound!!
