After twenty eight chapters of Acts I’m scratching my head saying, “How in the world did we get so off track from what the church is all about?”  I don’t say this in a way that calibrates me and “my church” as having arrived… But I’m saying to myself, “Where did we miss it?”
Within the [...]

Being over 40 has caused me to become a little more aware of my health.  I’ve been popping vitamins, walking on a treadmill, doing aerobic exercises, watching what I eat and doing a lot of research on the web about health/fitness.
Early this morning while I was reading I noticed that I was holding my breath.  [...]

In the spirit of “Facing the Truth Before Our Righteous Judge” I have attached a riveting message from my friend to our longed for president.  Please pray for repentance and courage to stand for truth!  Be Courageous, Mr. President

Personally throughout this rigorous, cynical and divisive presidential campaign, I’ve been silent regarding my political preference, whether it be Democrat or Republican.  I see my role in this era of endless and even circular arguments as a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I’m not a political science major, politician, media guru, activist, humanitarian leader, religious/political preacher, [...]

Is this a new drug?  No!  Then what is L+E+S+D?  It’s our strategic vision for 2008.  God wants the leaders and partners of Wellspring to become better lovers, engagers, sharers and disciplers in 2008.  Today, as I was thinking about our church I asked myself, “How am I loving, engaging, sharing and discipling in 2008?”  To [...]

I’m not one of those bloggers who seeks to draw attention to himself to get everyone to read my blog but since I just celebrated my 41st birthday I think I have some wisdom to share.  You see, when you get “seasoned” you gravitate to things like reflecting on what you’ve learned in life rather than persistently thinking about [...]

There is never a dull moment when you have children that like to eat.  I thought I had the evening planned for working on my sermon until the word “cobbler” was mentioned.  Since I am the self-proclaimed chef, it was my responsibility to slice the apples…  Off I went, slicing over 15-20 Granny Smith apples.

Recently, I was reminded by my two boys of the simple things in life.  As we were on the beach today enjoying some rest and relaxation, I had to capture them while they were taking advantage of some wholesome fun.  Kids are bombarded with so much these days that it’s hard for them to just [...]

Life is so full of moments when you want to do something meaningful so bad but you just can’t find the time to do it.  That’s what it’s been like as I’ve tried to get back to my blog.  I love writing, expressing, creating and sharing… but good gracious, it’s been a long time since [...]

i’m learning that our significance as people who love God isn’t found in what we do for Him but what He has already done.  peering into our hearts and motivations we may see an intrinsic motivator that has nothing to do with God.  his death on the cross ended the quest for significance and began [...]
