[EssentialChurch] Being Open Handed (Devotional Thought)

'Being Open Handed (Devotional Thought)'

This past year when I was studying for a message about greed I came across the
terms "tight fisted" and "open handed". I was so convicted when I read that
article on greed. I wish I knew where I read it so I could go back and read it
again. Those two terms stuck with [...]

I am all jacked up about this coming Sunday! We will hear from our mission

[EssentialChurch] Sunday Send Off

'Sunday Send Off'

Starting a church in the heart of the world's largest concentration of
military families is the most strategic place to be. The government moves
military families around every 2-3 years. While some might see this as a
challenge to growing a church it places us in a uniquely, strategic position
to reach the world. Hardly a month has gone by that [...]

Crazy Love for Free

As you might already know I would much rather listen to a book than read it.  Because of this I am on the mailing list for a few Christian Audio Book sellers.  One of them gives out a free audio book every month.  Normally the free book offer is some old geezer's boring book, but this month they are giving away one of the best books I've read in the past year.  It's called Crazy Love by Francis Chan.  All you have to do is click on the Crazy Love link below.  Add the book to your shopping cart and then when you get to the payment screen enter the coupon code JUL2009. You can download the book in .mp3 or ipod format.  It's a great book, I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it.  I love free stuff.

 

Live for the Blessing,

Email Blog

I am amazed that I can email a blog to my blog. Napolean Dynomite's brother said it best at his wedding: I love techonolgy.

More to come

Ok, after a long pause between my last post and this one, I think I have finally found a way to keep up with both this site, our church website, Facebook, and Twitter. Thankfully techonology allows all of this to happen without me spending ten hours a day on the computer. Look for more to come on this site.
