I’ve already stated that I’m on the Tebow bandwagon. How could you not love this guy? His latest comeback victory and some crazy stats have the world abuzz. Glen Levy wrote… Tebow threw for exactly 316 yards in the 29-23 upset win, presenting an eerie allusion to the Bible’s John 3: 16 passage — whose number Tebow famously wore in the black under his eyes when he led the Florida Gators to victory in the 2009 collegiate nati...

I’ve been trying all week to put a post together based on last week’s message on Heaven. All of my attempts have failed miserably and I’ve finally given up so I’m just going to share the video with you. It’s rare that I give a message that has as profound of a personal impact on me as this one did. I’ve spent an embarrassingly low amount of time thinking about heaven over the past 20 years. And as I say in the ...

I don’t know if you’ve heard the big debate, but the phrase “Under God” was apparently missing from the Pledge of Allegiance in NBC’s broadcast of the US Open Golf Tournament this past Sunday. While there hasn’t been a full explanation on the motivation for nixing God from the Nation’s Pledge NBC (the network which aired the tournament) has said it is “Sorry if anyone was offended.” Twitter a...

Every Tuesday morning the teaching pastor shares a devotion based on the Sermon for Sunday. Normally the devotion lasts around 25 minutes. This week it lasted more than an hour. It was lively. There was tension. Good tension. We talked about evil. The obstacles to God’s attributes. The outcomes. And most controversial the origin. I approach this Sunday’s sermon with much humility. It will be a tough one. On Sunday afternoon it will ...

Yesterday we launched our new series entitled “Glimpse: Exploring Heaven, Hell & What’s Next.” As part of the first week we showed an interview I did with Todd Burpo and his son, Colton. Todd wrote the crazy popular book “Heaven Is For Real.” Regardless of what you think about the book, I love the way it gets us thinking and talking about eternity. I truly believe we don’t desire heaven more because we hav...

This story is from Deidre’s blog: I’m going to break all ‘book blogging’ rules, I guess, because I have to tell how God led me to this book.  One morning, during my quiet time, I read a verse I was sure I had never read before.  Revelation 2:17.  It says: He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white st...

I love food. I mean I really do. I never used to, until I got married. Kelly makes wonderful meals. Over a year ago, I started a one year fast. Actually, several of you joined me in this. It changed many of our lives. Since November 1, 2010 I haven’t fasted much. Like I said, I like food…a lot. A couple friend of mine needs prayer. They’ve been praying about something for years. It’s staring them straight in the face. God ...

Yesterday I wasn’t teaching at Cross Point so I got the opportunity to go around and visit several of our other campuses. All of our Cross Point campuses were doing baptisms which made it especially sweet. One of my favorite people I met yesterday was a 71 year old woman out at the Dickson campus who was baptized. She was invited to Cross Point back in December and has been there ever since. I had to take a picture with her right after she ...

I read this article the other day in Time Magazine. Still not sure what I think, so I thought I would get your opinion. The author is basically saying that it’s inevitable for computers to eventually take over civilization. Here’s a portion of what he had to say: Computers are getting faster. Everybody knows that. Also, computers are getting faster faster — that is, the rate at which they’re getting faster is increasing. True?...
