“how metrosexual is your worship leader…?”


Cover of Stuff Christians Like While leading Communion last week, we wanted to emphasize a little about community and what it takes in relation to church – with our group. So I had been reading the book – “Stuff Christians Like” (yes, it’s satire) and I came across a little section on “how metrosexual is [...]

surprised by… Fireflight?


Not sure what any of you think about the band, Fireflight… (I can hear a few say – “they’re too loud!”, or others say “eh, they’re a Christian band – whatever?”) … but I like their sound and maybe you will too if you’ve never heard of them. I ran across the second song/video (“For [...]

the 7 things series… a struggle through media consumption


7 Media Reductions Adullam Southwest May 16, 2010 @10:00am ————– For the month of June, we will be taking a look at 7 reductions of Media.

from a Deverpost.com article – “Paige: It’s not fair to rip Tebow for his faith”…

If you are interested in the week and events that lead up to Jesus’ death and resurrection, here might [...]

“Tonight” by Jeremy Camp…


most who know me, know that I don’t have the most immense love for most christian music. It’s either so repetitive, void of any real life stories (everything is great and wonderful all the time, or if it’s not – it will be in like an hour… yeah right), or… never mind, this post is [...]

a pointed question from a friend – (and being away for a month)…


A friend asked me the other day… “Hey Chris… are you grateful and at peace for where you are now in ministry with people who love you, believe in you and are willing to let you lead and pastor…. or are you bitter, hurt or disappointed at those from past jobs/ministries about how they didn’t [...]

thoughts on “Jesus Loves You…” by Craig Gross and Jason Harper – PART 3


I find myself wanting to advocate justice for the hurting and pronouncing judgment on the religious. in this, i have become the very thing i despise… I am quick to offer grace to the rebellious and wayward. but i am slow in offering to the religious, if i offer it at all. yet i must. [...]
