True Discipleship: Where is Your Treasure?
Monday, November 29th, 2004It seems clear from the Word of God that believers should be satisfied with food, clothing and housing; that they should be industrious in providing these current needs for their families; and that everything in excess should go into the work of God. They should not try to provide for their own future security, […]
Thankful
Wednesday, November 24th, 2004Here’s my Thanksgiving reflection for the year.
Several times this last year I have realized just how abundantly God has blessed us, all of us, as a nation, and specifically in this little neck of the woods known as Ames. We can tend to think of ourselves as just eeking by, barely making it in […]
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - My review
Wednesday, November 24th, 2004Well you know it had to come at some point :)
U2 proves once again that they are the greatest band in the world. Although, I’d have to say that after all the hype and excitement, I was initially disappointed. This happens every time I get excited about something though :) After several listens, […]
CD Reviews - Heaslip, Hughes, Hillsong United
Wednesday, November 24th, 2004Tim Hughes - When Silence Falls
Favorite Tracks: “Beautiful One”, “Whole World in His Hands”
This album surprised me. Well produced, great to listen to. It would be hard to replicate some of these elements live without a lot of technology, thus I initially had a hard time hearing songs that would be usable in […]
Bush Rescue Secret Service Agent
Monday, November 22nd, 2004WoohooO! (okay, maybe rescues is a bit strong).
Bush pulls secret service agent from scuffle
UPDATE: thanks to Pat, I found this neat little snippet on opinionjournal.com:
[The agent] walked in behind Bush, who looked enormously pleased with himself. He was wearing the expression that some critics call a smirk, and his eyebrows shot up as if to […]
U2 on SNL
Saturday, November 20th, 2004U2 was just on Saturday Night Live.
They played “Vertigo”, and “Sometimes you can’t make it on your own” (I called it, ask Paul). It was amazing. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album live.
They are still the greatest rock band on earth.
That is all.

Christian “art”
Monday, November 15th, 2004First of all, we’ve got to learn as a church to support artists who are respectfully engaging culture with good art. I think one of the reasons the church in this country is irrelevant in a lot of circles is because our art is bad—and it’s always been a primary way of how the church […]
He Speaks (again)
Sunday, November 14th, 2004Well, as you may guess, we made it back safely from Orlando. As expected, it was an amazing time. When was the last time YOU’VE heard A sermon about gluttony? Ya, me neither.
Well, I spoke again at The Rock in a follow up to my message on World Religions.
Real Religion […]
Orlando Firefox
Tuesday, November 9th, 2004Space explorer and starfighter extrodinaire? No. Just a catchy title for these two announcements:
1) I’m here in (not so sunny) orlando. With a nice break this afternoon to nap, and work on my message for this Friday. “Real Religion pt. 2 - Real Christianity”. I’m pretty sure I will be […]
He Speaks.
Monday, November 8th, 2004Well, I had my speaking debut at the Rock last friday. It went fairly well (I think), for a first effort, if not a bit long (43 minutes 10 seconds). Check it out. I’d be interested in your feedback. (I’m working on an iMovie syncing up my visual aids with the audio […]
