Has hell frozen over?

Not only is there a huge and growing revival exploding out of Lakeland, Florida, but MSNBC.com is reporting on it and giving it some fair and balanced coverage! And people are writing in the comments section saying how awesome this is! As they say in the Looney Tunes cartoons, now I’ve seen everything! *bang* … [...]

Speedlink Friday 2: Tribes, Tweets, and Things

What if David Would Have Twittered? Hilarious! Also by Perry Noble: Seven Things We’ve GOT To Do To Be Effective (Part 1 and Part 2) Steven Furtick on the “It” factor in preaching.

God is the Ultimate Travel Agent 6: Putting it All Together

Emerging as God’s Children 3: Abide

Ooo boy. This week has shaped up to be a real doozy. To be honest, the last thing I can imagine doing today is writing something meaningful from a spiritual perspective because I’m currently trying to get my own act together!
