Next January when I lead my tenth group to Israel, we will visit two of my favorite and most beautiful sites. Mt. Tabor, the traditional site of the transfiguration of Jesus, features an exquisite mosaic of the Lamb of God slain for the sins of the world. We will stand under the arch of that […]
Looking Godly vs Being Godly
I’m blessed! I guess there are a lot of reasons why I feel that way but I guess the reason I’m thinking of now is because of you. You are rare as far as congregations go. You want your REAL lives to be different. If given the choice between looking Godly and BEING Godly you […]
Miscellany…
Miscellany is a collection of various matters. This E-Bulletin is a miscellany… and they are all important! Josh McDowell was influential in my young life. As a college student, I devoured his book, “Evidence That Demands a Verdict,” equipping myself to better defend the reliability and the authority of the Bible. And his small book, “More […]
For Burma, for the Kingdom
The Sunday Larry and I interviewed at Chapel Hill we met Dave Eubank. I remember thinking Dave looked like he’d come in directly from a hike in the mountains and immediately self-identified that I would not be able to keep up with this man on a hike. The lasting impression however was not of a […]
Go to the Movies!
Go to the Movies! I don’t often make movies recommendations, but I will today. This Friday, Son of God will open at our local Galaxy Theatre and across the country.

Mexico – Day 1 (Sunday)
Dustin Harrison, High School Director, called last night. The team arrived in camp safely. The full moon and stars were shining in with God’s glory. Prayers for Monday’s start of the building process. 5 homes are going to be built – and one of them is a “double” – two houses attached together using two […]
Mexico – Day 2 (Monday)
Today was the first day at the sites – preparing the foundation footings, then mixing and spreading concrete in the foundation and at the same time starting to build walls. All sights are ahead of schedule. The weather was really warm, but everyone was drinking a lot of water – they even had to refill […]
