This post is part of a short series based on Jeremy Myer’s (from “Till He Comes“) book project “Finding Church.” Jeremy asked for contributions in the categories of Changing Church, Leaving Church, Reforming Church, and Returning to Church. As I worked through my own contribution, I realized that my story could fit into any of the categories. So, I’m writing a post based on each...

I’m addicted to life change. There’s just a few things more incredible to me than watching Jesus transform the life of another human being. The following video got me so excited!! God is doing some pretty incredible things at Cross Point these days. Honored to be along for this ride. ...

Can we trust Gary Habermas any more? Let’s talk about it on Deeper Waters. While checking up on affairs today, I noticed that Norm Geisler has responded to an interview that Mike Licona did. Yes. That’s right. Responding to an interview. My ministry partner, J.P. Holding, has already critiqued several aspects of this long article [...]...

Felicity at “Simply Church” has written a great post called “10 hurdles to overcome in making the transition from legacy to simple church.” Her post is a reminder to those who are interested in seeing church shift from organization-based to relational-based in our mutual relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

  There’s a lot of debate these days about whether the Old Testament tithe still applies today or not. People often want to argue that it was part of the “law” and therefore doesn’t apply to us since Jesus fulfilled the law. We are now under the New Covenant and free from the legalism that so dominated the Old Covenant. Much smarter people than me have spent their lives debating and researching whether that’s t...

Can Jesus fix you up? Let’s talk about it on Deeper Waters. How many of you growing up or maybe even still today hear that when you have a burden, you should just take it to the Lord and leave it there. Any idea how someone is supposed to do that? I never figured it [...]...

Over the last 12 weeks, I’ve posted 13 different “guest blogger” posts. I usually publish one guest post per week on Monday mornings. (One week, I posted a two part post, which is why it is 13 posts in 12 weeks.) All of these posts were sent in by readers, and they all generate some great discussion on the blog, on Facebook, and in real life. Occasionally, I ask specific people to write guest pos...
