The Myth of Jesus & Critics

September 30, 2010

I must admit that I L.O.V.E watching Dana White (a business hero of mine) respond to his critics on Twitter. He responds to fans and he obviously loves responding to critics tit for tat.  It is often HILARIOUS! I have been taught that it is Un-Christian for me to respond to critics, but that’s just [...]

September 28, 2010

5. I just tweeted this, but it needs to be said again… even if you tell me that God told you to do it -sending me an email or a letter asking me to INVITE YOU to speak @ Courageous Church will NEVER get a positive response. Period.  It would be like a stranger saying [...]

3 Things I Think about the Current Bishop Eddie Long Trending Topics on Twitter

September 22, 2010

1. None of us know what happened. Period. However, Twitter makes everybody into judgmental expert comedians and honestly brings out the worst in people that have taken either side on this issue. 2. In the name of condemning different types of sins involved in this news story (on all sides), people proceed to commit new [...]

A SHOCKING Stat about Courageous Church that I am VERY Proud of!

September 20, 2010

Get ready for this stat! It blows my mind just reading it! In the past 365 days, Courageous Church has GIVEN AWAY 90% of the money we have raised and managed the church off of the 10% that is left over.  I don’t know if we can keep it up, but I am pretty doggone [...]

Being in the Room vs. Being Present

September 8, 2010

About a year ago, my wife started really telling me that I wasn’t “present” enough with the family.  I was shocked and stumped! I am home almost every day by 5pm, never miss dinner, rarely schedule meetings in the evenings, and spend most of my free time at home. How in the world could she [...]

Very insightful comments on race, faith, politics, hate, love, the church, and everything in between… However, one of the things that really left me troubled was how ABSOLUTELY SURE so many of you were that [...]

Stop Calling Him a Muslim and Saying He’s Not a Citizen and Call Him a Nigger

September 1, 2010

(I wrote this post originally in September of 2010.  My thoughts still stand.) Over a year ago, I made a public pledge to stay out of politics on this blog- with the exception of standing against racism or discrimination.  Generally speaking, I have kept that pledge and haven’t regretted it one bit. However, I refuse [...]
