Baptism and the Great Commission

I was recently discussing the importance of baptism at our Starting Point class and I find it hard to understand why some choose to live in disobedience.  Every time I get the privilege of participating in (or observing)  a baptism service, I’m reminded of a few of Jesus’ last words before ascending in to heaven: [...]

When God Speaks To You

Does God speak to you? I think he does, and I think he uses people around us more than we give the “Big Guy” credit for. We often look at the Bible as a method that our creator uses to communicate (it is certainly the best place for us to get a glimpse into the [...]

Are You A Productive Christian?

Are You A Productive Christian?

Proverbs – R – Us

My wife and I have been reading through Proverbs together each night for a few weeks now. Many people I admire read through Proverbs on a monthly basis by simply reading the chapter that corresponds with the current date. Their wisdom has motivated me to do this from time to time.

Who Has More Patience?

Do you ever wonder if your kids have more patience that you do? A few weeks ago I had little project that I did with my son. He received a tricycle for Easter from his Grandpa Dawsey. We got to work on putting it together as a team and I was actually surprised at the [...]

Spiritual Self Evaluation

I don’t know if you ever take the time to evaluate your spiritual life, but starting the series One Month To Live has really encouraged me to take a spiritual inventory. Especially after I saw a post from Craig Groeschel. In the post he listed 10 questions for us to answer that require some self [...]
