This November, I will be speaking at the Worship Facilities Expo in Nashville. As part of the preparation for that event, I was asked to write a practical article for someone working in the church and decided to post it here as well. You can find out more about the conference here: http://wfxweb.com/2015/ Technology has […]
Well, I know it’s been a bit since where has been an update here, and a lot has happened since I last posted! So, here’s a quick refresher: 1. Worship is our love for something expressed. We worship a lot of things – family, money, possessions, jobs, status, sports, and of course, God. It’s how […]
Well, seeing as I had to try 3 times to use the right password for my blog, it has been a while since I have posted last! Busy summer, broken computer, new baby, and life in general has slowed this train down a bit. However, here I am, ready to finally post defining “Worship Formation” as […]
Well, here we are, just past the anniversary of our senior pastor’s death. I don’t think that anyone could have even begun to predict what the past 18 months have been at Trinity, and there are some things I would certainly wish were different, but I also see what God has done in the midst […]

As most of you are probably tired of hearing by now, I’m a big fan of the writing of John Piper. There’s just something about the way he expresses the Word of God that’s so different from many other authors out there. I was given the chance to read his book The Pleasures of God […]
So much of what we know about the workings of our country today is colored by the media. Really, from both sides, it seems we rarely know the truth, but only what a particular news source wants us to know. What I appreciated most about President Bush’s book is the candid way he approached each […]
Have you ever been overwhelmed by prayer? I am today.There are just so many needs in the world. So many needs in my small corner of the world. So many friends and acquaintances who are hurting. I met a lady on Sunday who loves her husband, but is getting a divorce because all he cares […]
Well, as you all know, I have a super popular blog.I think my random musings get about 10 hits a month. However, if you’re here reading this, you’re probably reading my most read post to date, and I write that without actually knowing what’s going to happen.If you’re here, you probably saw my post on […]
