what a great day yesterday…everything i had hoped for as i traveled back from california!
after a two-week break, i was definitely ready to preach again.
on our vacation, i watched some goofy television preachers while we were in motels. not sure why i watch, but i think they’re kind of addictive. and they make me really aware of the power and responsibility i have when i stand in front of people and speak on behalf of the almighty. wow…
crazy, confrontive text in james 4
after studying and teaching this week, i am more convinced than ever before that the problem we all face is one of pride and submission.
our pride makes us really believe we can be in control of our lives…our inability to submit robs us of the best that god has to offer.
we’ve got to distinguish the difference between living in the vicinity of god and drawing near to god. until we do, there will be absolutely no progress in our spiritual journey.
after last week’s low attendance, i wasn’t sure what to expect…especially in the 10:00 hour. good crowd, though. in both hours.
awesome music, great friends, new faces, lots of laughter, real people with real problems and genuine interaction…everything i love about north point!
didn’t realize we have a demon-possessed closet in the auditorium. kind of creepy.
good response to the golf tournament. looking forward to august 16.
fuzzy’s tacos for lunch. you need to join us next time we go. a garlic-shredded beef taco and a potato-egg-cheese taco were just what the doctor ordered.
my friend scott congdon (ceo of amor ministries) came to town this weekend and there were about 16 of us that met a taco cabana and got to hear…first hand…about what’s really going on in mexico with the drug cartel and shootings and the swine flu. really eye-opening.
…and really frustrating to know that the media has blown this all out of proportion. can’t wait to get back to mexico!
it’s always a good sunday when i can eat mexican food twice…with friends.
this is going to be an amazing week. i know it.
