Posted in Church, tagged , , on March 31, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I was listening to a podcast the other day and heard this interesting quote from Cliff Barrows, former music director for Billy Graham. He said, “There is a difference between commitment and surrender. With commitment, we still have control. With surrender, God has control.” How many of us as Christians or pastors have ‘committed’ our [...]

Amazing Grace for an Amazing Day

As I think this morning about the grace we have experienced as followers of Christ, I am so grateful that the God I serve wasn’t afraid to come down from heaven to save a ‘wretch like me’. I am humbled by the fact that an almighty God would care enough to take the form of [...]

Good Friday

Today is Friday. Good Friday. But is it really good? It’s just another day. But it’s not just another day. It’s the day a price was paid for my very soul. Today is considered good not because of anything I have done. It is considered good because of the death of a great man. And [...]

Today, the Madness begins! I don’t get into college basketball a ton throughout the season, but I have to say, I love March Madness!
