the G sides

Is this really a good idea? None of them really had any success after this movie..although the soundtrack was killer….
Simple Minds got it right - we didn’t forget about them.

Ever been in a place where your failings just keep popping up and it doesn’t really matter what you do…you can’t get around them? I’m not talking about the huge moral failure kind - although I guess this rant could apply to those as well. The past 5 days have been that kind […]

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.
Psalm 29:2

That this is a core discipline probably isn’t that big of a surprise. John Piper in his book Let The Nations Be Glad says that the reason we do missions is because there are places on the earth […]

I preached Sunday - opened up our series in Ephesians. (At some point, the download will be here. Row is having some computer problems and we are having a crazy busy week…and it might not get uploaded because of the rest of this story.)
Anyway - I’m preaching in Acts 19 - yeah, to […]

Read Ephesians 4:11-13. Anything strike you?
The only way to achieve maturity – the whole measure of fullness of Christ – is to serve out of the giftedness that the Spirit has placed in you.
Let that sink in for a moment. It isn’t about how much you know but how much you serve. Jesus said […]

Popped in thirteen this weekend.
Disturbing. Convicting. Dark. Evil. Innocence shattered.
The story is real but you’ll be tempted to deny that it happens. The feelings and situations are real, but you’ll be tempted to blame Hollywood for one more overrated, oversexed and overdrugged teenager movie.
There […]

A couple of random questions before I tackle his ‘disenlightenment’…unenlightenment? non-enlightenment? (whatever) concerning Star Wars.
1. Why does Jeremy not use capital letters? Do they cost more in Canada? Is it a Post Gen X thing? Is it the next generation of youth […]

Do I even have to comment on this? It’s pathetic. I see 4 kinds of red. Plus the still goofy but constipated cardinal on a white helmet. What’s up with the leg piping?
Does anybody else have a problem with the stealing of Atlanta’s jersey look?
Looks like the Rankings are gonna […]

There are times we need to withdraw in order to drink deeper of God’s presence. That is the purpose of both fasting and silence. That is also the reason we are going to deal with them together. It’s not just some physical exercise that glorifies God or speaks of our maturity. It’s creating space in […]

First, the draft. They draft - count ‘em folks - 3 corners, none of them taller than 6 foot.
Then they pick Maurice Clarett.
Then they signed Todd Sauerbrun - a punter with some issues.
Now they sign Jerry Rice.
What the heck is going on?
And Jerry and Rod Smith share the same number. There is no […]
