Good Day

What a good day, it was long and I am tired but it was worth the trip. Bob Roberts was his usual engaging self.

I was able to hang out with a friend, Cory, from another church in the area that road down with me. I had invited him earlier in the week because he is going through some transition stuff in his life and looks to be moving on to another church.

I also got to spend some time with my friend David Phillips and met a couple of other bloggers as well. It was good to meet Adam Feldman, here is his church's website, and Joe Kennedy. I have not read their blogs much before, but look forward to keeping up with these guys. Adam is in Ellicott City and Joe has been in Maryland looking at the possibilities of planting in Maryland. All three guys are great guys and are doing some really great stuff for the kingdom. I need to rub shoulders with these guys because their blogs are really fancy and my is bland compared to theirs.

Most of what Bob said I have either read or heard from him in other contexts, but it was a great reminder for me because I have become very self-focused over the past few months.

Tomorrow I have my second funeral this week. Looking forward to the sermon this week. I am starting a new series called, "Living Life Out Loud" based on the book of Ephesians. Sunday's title is "Whose are you?"

Can't Wait for Tomorrow

One of my pastoral heroes is Bob Roberts, Pastor of Northwood Church in Keller, Texas. I first heard Bob while in seminary in Ft. Worth. I have read two of his books, Transformation and Glocalization. Tomorrow's one day conference is on his newest book, The Multiplying Church. I have not read his newest book, but as part of the conference fee we get the book.

Looking forward to this

Ben Stein, one of my favorite actors, "Bueller, Bueller," and one of the smartest guys I have ever heard, is coming out with what looks to be a very interesting movie. It is called "Expelled." Here is some information from the movie website:


There is a movement on the horizon that has the potential to change the educational system in America and influence your kids, you and the youth you serve.

For decades now, Neo-Darwinism has maintained a stranglehold within public education, suppressing all other theories on the origins of life - especially those that hint of a "designer".

Oxford professor Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist and author of "The God Delusion" states,

"Certainly I see the scientific view of the world as incompatible with religion."

Your students are being bombarded with such propaganda throughout their education; despite the fact that MOST Americans do NOT believe we're the result of "random chance".

Well, FINALLY help is on the way.

EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed, is an upcoming feature film in which host Ben Stein (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) goes on a quest to expose the suppression by science's anti-theist elite, and unveil new scientific facts that may suggest evidence of intelligent design in the universe.
