Today, my brother Shayne and I attended The Whiteboard Sessions, a one-day church leadership conference that was organized by Ben Arment who is a pastor of Reston Community Church. Heh, that would explain why the event was held in Reston, VA. Silly me.
Honestly, I had no idea who Ben was or practically how this event […]
If you’ve been hanging around here a while, you may have got a few whiffs of a “super-secret” Web site I’ve been working on. I’m not quite ready to spill the beans, but I can give you a few hints.
For starters, I am a big believer in content aggregation. There are many well-established sites out […]
I was listening to a recent “webinar” by Lance Wallnau in his online teaching course, and in looking up a passage in the the Letter of the Apostle Paul to the Romans, an adjacent chapter leapt out at me and so captivated my attention that it was like the words were literally jumping off of […]
I’m growing increasingly bored with the “emergent church”. Yes, bored. Possibly a strange choice of words, I know, but there’s no other way to say it. It’s just boring. I listened to a message yesterday by Rob Bell, pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, MI, and though Bell is obviously a very […]
I trekked up to the lovely town of Redding, CA last weekend for the JesusCulture Encounter ‘08 conference. JesusCulture is the brainchild of, among other people, Banning Liebscher, who is one of the zaniest dudes I’ve ever come across. And he’s the first to admit it. We love you Banning. (And BTW, my Mac dictionary […]
Just got back from Encounter ‘08, part of the growing JesusCulture movement spearheaded by those crazy dues up in Redding, CA. Got some great, fantastic, and way cool testimonies to share with you, but am absolutely WIPED from a weekend+ of screaming, jumping, praising, praying, fellowshipping (yes, it’s a verb…didn’t you know?!?!), and all that […]
For those of you who remember that I was writing a blog series a couple of months ago, welcome back! To those who don’t have a clue what this is all about, please read the first two posts in this series: Look Normal, Smell Different, and Look Different, Smell Old. And now, without further ado, […]
There’s something that’s been irking me for a while about the cutting-edge of the charismatic movement, dubbed by some as the apostolic-prophetic movement, and I know what it is. Now don’t get me wrong…I dearly love many of these folks…Bill Johnson, Lance Wallnau, Patricia King, Jill Austin, to name but a few. I would never […]
I’ve just started reading a fantastic book called Organic Church by Neil Cole, and it got me thinking about something I’ve been mulling over already for a while. Some people in church circles have been lamenting over the growth of postmodernism and pine for the good ol’ days when objective rationality and logical truth were […]
