I have been working hard at increasing the depth and breadth (and speed!) of my reading. To be honest, I’ve often felt guilty for taking time in my day to read. I always thought, “How many of my church members get the luxury of sitting down with a book in the middle of their day…

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…
Transcript of 3 Gifts of the Savior Series: Hope
[Video available on my Sermon Video page here.] The Gathering, Chattanooga December 6, 2015 ~The doctor slowly walked in and sat down with the look on his face that said it all. Before he could say a word, tears began to stream down her face as she leaned onto her husband’s shoulder. He tightly wrapped…
Shallow Church
Of late, I’ve been dealing in my own mind with the sillyness that is the American church. We are ridiculously petty and self-absorbed. Like in the days of the early Church, today in many parts of the world, persecution exists and is running rampant. Just last week, I heard of four children in Baghdad, under…
Conversational Scripture Reading
Have you ever tried praying Scripture back to God? I’m talking about actually speaking the text back to Him using conversational pronouns (I may have just made that term up, but you get the point), for example, changing “He” and “the Lord” to “You”. It makes for an amazing prayer and worship time. Give it a…
Getting it Right
One of the things I had to learn once I started seminary was how to effectively and rightly interpret Scripture. I guess I hadn’t though much about it up to that point. I figured you just read the Bible and did what it said. From time-to-time, I would have people ask me, “Do you interpret…
Boys Will Can’t Be Boys
As the father of two active boys, I need to remind myself regularly of the truth that is found in the following video. Boys are not like girls and it’s past time we stop treating them in the same way with the same expectations. Boys tend to be more active, sillier and LOUDER. That’s not…
Who’s Choice is it Anyway?
It is an understatement to say that the topic of Divine Election is a hotly debated one. People are often very passionate and sometimes downright uncivil in their expressions of those passions. People are cast with (what are intended as) disparaging labels, looked down upon with expressed disappointment, and dismissed as marginal when they admit…

I Am a Hypocrite
Listen to an audio version of this post. Yeah, it’s true…I am a hypocrite. There. Said it. You want to try it? Really, you should give it a shot. Ok, say this with me, “I am a hyp…”. Wait, not yet. Let’s make sure you should say it. I suppose it’s possible (though not…
Sunday Morning Rewind: Taming the Wild Beast in Your Mouth.
“If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.” James 1:26 Bridle your tongue. Have you ever tried to bridle (or we could say, bite your tongue) when someone really pushes your buttons? When they say that one thing that really puts you…
