2016 Summer Series at The Gathering
I love the summer! I enjoy the other three seasons, but I have a definite favorite. It is possible that I’m more excited about this summer than I have been in quite a while, at least as far as it relates to my time as Lead Pastor at The Gathering goes. I’m so ready for…

Held Fast
Last week, I had the privilege of taking Jacob with me to the Together for the Gospel Conference in Louisville, KY. Time nor space allows me to describe all that it meant to me, especially getting to share an experience like that with my son (and, hopefully, Andrew’s time is coming, too!). I will say…

Intentional Purity
It doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s Saturday. Start something
…and so is a plan without goals. Both are necessary ingredients. Basic steps to making change: Determine what needs to be changed (and how badly you want it changed–this is a great place for prayer!). Develop a plan of action. Set reasonable, measureable goals. Count the cost (what do you have to add/subtract in your…
Owned
This is a passage that, if you consider it honestly and seriously, will rock your world and radically change your priorities: Luke 12:31-34 But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided for you. Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your Father delights to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to…
Perspective on Possessions
From, For the Love of God, by D. A. Carson: “You’ve seen the bumper sticker: “The person with the most toys wins.” Wins what? The person with the most toys takes out of this life exactly what everyone else does. A billion years or so into eternity, how many toys we accumulated during our seventy…
Check out, “Watching Our Words” by Jacob C. Price
My son, Jacob, has written a new blog post entitled, “Watching Our Words,” where he explores the affect of words on our relationships and, as a part of a larger series he’s working on, “Becoming a Young Gentleman in the 21st Century”.

7 Tips for Reading Better, Faster and Smarter
I have to read a lot for my job. As a pastor, my responsibility is not to know everything, but to know as much as I can and then know where to find what I don’t know (which is plenty!). That’s a big responsibility when you are regularly asked questions on every minutia of theology…
Things that make you scratch your head
I walked into McDonald’s a few minutes ago and ordered a sausage and egg and told the lady that I have Celiac Disease and so my food cannot touch anything that has touched food with gluten. The lady behind the counter said, “Oh, ok. I know about that. I will make sure they change gloves…

Bothered by Frustration
Do you ever find yourself getting frustrated with people? Let me re-phrase because the question is ridiculous. I know you do get frustrated from time-to-time. The question is how often and why? I’ve certainly been there (way too many times)! In some ways, I can be extremely patient–but then in other ways, well… I realized a…
Demonic Distraction
I’m not likely to elicit the services of a prostitute. I’m not likely to get a bottle of scotch and polish it off in a sitting. I’m not likely to hunt down someone I dislike and take them out with one, ridiculously accurate shot between the eyes. There are probably a thousand different things I…
