If you were a pole jumper once you cleared 9 feet where would you jump for next? Obviously you would set the bar at 8 feet wouldn’t you? You are saying that’s crazy man you are going down not up. Well to me that defines the church today. We are good at jumping over 9 feet and then we either continue to jump 9 or we move down to 8 1/2. This is why we get no where. Sure you have to train harder and you sweat more BUT the out come is greater when you raise the bar. Go to 9 1/2, 10 , 10 1/2. Keep raising the bar every time and the reward is greater each time.You can only jump over the point the bar is set at? Its time to train a little harder and leap a little higher.
Ufos and church July 5, 2009
My new favorite quote. The church is full of UFO’S ( uncommitted freeloading onlookers) Therefore we must realize that people are under challenged> Johnny Hunt
So what does that mean. To me it means if you are going to do nothing but sit there and wait on Jesus to come back then get up go to the door and never enter a church ever again until you are ready to commit yourself to the full call God has on your life. If we are going to reach people we must quit treating church like a buffet . We are called to serve not be served. It’s not a place for followers of Jesus to go and load up on information. It’s a place for you to bust your freakin’ tail and sweat bleed and die for the cause of Christ. If you aren’t going to do that and you are a christ follower then there’s the door. It’s not a place to “hang out” not that it’s all bad but it’s not why it exist. The church is called to go use our gifts to reach as many possible. Unless you can show me in the bible where sitting on your backside is a spiritual gift then it’s time to get to work. It’s time we get rid of ufo’s.
Sunday June 28, 2009
Today we had 1 person get saved which is awesome. I do wish God would bless us with more salvations. Glad that 1 now has an eternity with God but believe God wants so much more for his church.Yes the new camaro was sitting in the building. Wish we could have used it like we had originally planned.
Pre-Sunday June 26, 2009
Last week was an amazing sunday at LIFE Church. We don’t believe God is going to stop moving here. We are going full speed ahead. Yes i know it’s summer. People need to Know God in the summer months too so we will not go halfway then either. This Sunday i’m expecting to see the biggest move of the Lord i have ever seen. Oh yeah and we are going to do something you have probably never seen in Church before. Want to know what it is? 10 am 3006 martha berry hwy. XL Building . Other wise you will have to wait. 
God of the summer June 21, 2009
Before i share what happened today let me share something that i should have shared a month ago. I felt like God told me David i want to move in the summer. If it’s in the summer there is no doubt it’s me. I’m embarassed to say i haven’t shared that with anyone and yeah i’m thinking i shouldn’t post this until fall after what’s about to happen actually happens but there isn’t much faith in that now is there.
For those of you who are passive in the church during the summer months. I got one word for you. PATHETIC. God deserves our best all the time. Yes i said pathetic. God isn’t waiting for you in september he is waiting for you TODAY.
Yes i really believe God is going to dominate Rome (more on that is to come) with the gospel. He wants to dominate yours too.
Now for today. Attendance is suppose to be down in the summer months but God has said no not this time. WOW> I wish there were words to describe what happened but there isn’t. I can’t even explain it if you were to ask me. God is. That pretty much settles it. God came down and worthy you are worthy oh God. He is the God of the summer and i’m stoked about what he is going to accomplish through us.

short post (or is that tall) January 26, 2009
Don’t you just hate having your teeth kicked in? I just received this thought and well i think it sucks. You cant be short and tall at the same time can you? Ok i guess you probably know where this is going. Better cover your teeth. Just as you cant be short and tall all at the same time we can’t walk in the truth while living a lie. Either one or the other. Which are you?
