I am frustrated with today’s politics, so much so that I feel a bit politically homeless. I don’t fit in their camp and I don’t fit in their circle.

I’m not actually in jail right now. I’m not sure if I would have internet access to write a blog if I were in jail, but that’s a whole other issue. “I’m in jail” is what many people would have to say when talking about the un-forgiveness they hold in their hearts. Un-forgiveness is a prison cell tha…
I just wanted to encourage fellow pastors out there today. For many pastors and churches you are now one week removed from the largest attendance in the history of your church, or at the very least, for the year. Easter is the Super Bowl of church services.

Good guys don’t always make great leaders but great leaders are always good guys!

I wonder how many people think that statement? “My life doesn’t matter!” I’m not talking about suicidal thoughts, although that is obviously a legitimate problem. I’m talking about people who believe that their gift, their ability, their job, their role in life doesn’t matter. So often, we believe t…
Do you ever get frustrated when someone asks you, “Are you staying busy?” It’s an odd question isn’t it? Or why do we often answer the question, “How are you doing?” with “Busy busy busy?” Is busy a good thing? Being busy doesn’t mean you’re being productive, it might just mean you’re a poor time ma…
