It has been a while since I posted on this blog so here goes.God has been moving and working in the lives of students at Richland Creek and at the same time inspiring me. I cannot begin to explain the joy it is to see the lives of students come alive in a passionate pursuit of Jesus Christ!

This morning in my OT reading a verse really caught my attention. It lay right in the chronicles of the men of valor who joined with David at Hebron to make him king after the death of Saul. The scriptures say this:1 Chronicles 12:33 (ESV)33 Of Zebulun 50,000 seasoned troops, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war, to help David with singleness of purpose.

I was once told by a mentor of mine that the key to reaching people from other religions with the gospel is not knowing their religion well, but knowing mine even better. As I think about the church and specifically the students I work with, I can’t help but think the same holds true for our witness as a body of believers. But the perspective is different; the focus is not on just what we believe

In the wake of a historic election most media coverage and talk rightfully surrounds the election of the next President of the United States. But the shift to a Democratic president has, in my opinion, more to say about frustration in the economy and other political issues and less to say about the shift in American culture. But a vote in the state of Washington speaks volumes of our culture

I recently began the reading of George Muller of Bristol the classic biography by Arthur T. Pierson. As is usually the case with a great biography, the life account of George Muller is challenging to my own and the things I hold dear, which in effect stand in the way of Christ. But today of particular note was the chapter entitled "New Steps and Stages of Preperation." This chapter is the account

Few things are as disliked by students as getting up every morning to go to, or start school for the day.Weekly I hear a sigh from many students for a project that is due, a test that is coming up, a homework assignment that is still unfinished, or a book that must be read in spite of no interest at all.Almost as often I hear from parents who are asking for prayer for their children and school.

I have had the opportunity to be a part of many disciple now weekends, but honestly I must say that none have compared to the weekend we just concluded at Richland Creek. My prayer is that the student will take the passion that God instilled din there live this week and dive into the scriptures to read and study in order to know God.Thanks to all the 40+ leaders and adults for their help this

I am excited about the Disciple Now weekend coming up on October 3-5 for the students at Richland Creek. Our theme this year will be No. 119 as we focus on the Word of God as a vital part of growing as a believer. With (3) General Sessions and (3) Small group sessions, along with an afternoon of recreation, more than 40 volunteers, Josh and Tasha Via leading worship, and 100+ students, this is

Most of what we struggle with today is the effects of yesterday. Poor decisions, lack of integrity, or flat out disobedience to God's Word leads us down paths that produce more heartache than they are worth. Simply put we find ourselves looking for answers to problems that honestly should not have been there in the first place. Yet you are in that problem and you still need an answer.This sounds

Dear Father,Today I watched as my first son started the next chapter in his life. I know it is not that big of a step for him since he can't even jump more than three feet yet, but for me I already realize that I am preparing him to be on his own. Watching as he walked confidently into the classroom while others were crying, taking initiative to introduce himself to others, and respectfully

We start the work in the morning but before we do we spent the day, Sunday, worshipping with local churches and viewing our worksites. Please pray for the residents and surrounding communities that they may be open to the gospel and the students will be bold in their witness. Also pray for the safety of us all.

Just a couple of weeks ago I shared with the students the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4. The stark contrast between the reaction of the disciples to the storm and the reaction of Jesus is remarkable. The difference, trust. Jesus had an unshakable confidence in God the Father.It seems that every time I turn around God speaks to my heart saying, just keep on believing. I must say I

In the new documentary, Expelled, coming out in theaters this spring Ben Stein uncovers the cultural bias against intelligent design in academia.

There are many in the Christian Community that are concerned and vocal about a host of issues. From one's opinion on Joel Olstein and his "Best Life Now" to whether one should shop at Old Navy since they have happy "holidays" instead of Merry "Christmas." And one cannot forget that the "Golden Compass" is to be avoided. All of these issues are well and good, but as was written in an earlier post,

There was a cartoon when I was a kid that had a king and a goofy jester, I don't remember which cartoon or what episode, but I do remember what the jester would always say when the king called for him. He would arrive before the king and say, "At your disposal, king." I had no idea what that was about when I was little but as grew older I figured out that the jester would do whatever the king

As I was reading again through the book Romans today, verses 2-5 of chapter 5 resounded with my heart in the time of transition that my family and I are in.Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace on which we stand and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that , we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces

I recently came across a confession of Bill Hybels concerning the last thirty years of ministry at Willow Creek, while reading Dr. Hershael York's blog. Watch the video and think of how simple church really is.Bill Hybels Video - RevealThe SIMPLE Christian life is the subject of the fist series of messages on Sunday nights. Students we are going to start right at the heart of the Christian walk,

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

Solomon attended his first AWANA meeting at Richland Creek. I think he is a fan. Mostly because I listened to him sing "I've got the joy joy joy" for 30 minutes which I thoroughly enjoyed!

Ann and I are excited to finally be on the field in Wake County here at Richland Creek Community Church! We have attended our first Sunday and were encouraged beyond measure by the demonstrations of love, not only to us, but the family of Richland Creek to one another. The time of communion was sweet fellowship in which to watch and participate.To all who are from Richland Creek. I hope that you

January 6, 2001 has been etched in history as a milestone in my life. It was on that day that I made a vow to commit the rest of my life to my wife and say the "I do." It was on that day that my entire trust and devotion to one woman for all of life was publicly announced and demonstrated to a whole sanctuary of witnesses, but most importantly before my Lord. I was fully convinced that day that

The family and I will be moving to North Carolina in just a couple of days. It seems as though it has only been a short time since we moved to Louisville, Kentucky with an 11 month old to start the seminary journey. Now just three and a half years later and many friends later, we will be leaving with a nine month old and a four year old and many memories to cherish for a lifetime.To all who have

Romans 1: 5 "...through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ."The obedience to the faith is for the sake of His name, that is Jesus Christ. Paul says that he has received grace and the calling of his apostleship for the sake of this very purpose. To

Summertime is always lots of fun for me and the family. Having a three year old who is about to turn four makes the summer days fun with his excitement and love for the outdoors and his swingset. But this summer had a bit more in store for me than previous summers of my entire life.Starting I knew that it would be busy. A trip to Brazil, youth camp, Kent Island, MD work (both jobs), family,

I am reading the book Everlasting Dominion by Eugene Merrill currently and the section on God's Holiness has really set strong in my heart.His discussion of God's Holiness and how that compels worship has made me think of why people worship, or for that matter do not worship God. In a way Michael Jordan helps to resolve the issue. God is holy that means he is "separate from all else that exists

Here is some of the pictures form the mission to Brazil. We had an amazing time and it was great to see that the Word of God through the power of the Spirit of God changes lives in big ways. There were over 60 salvations during our time there!

The Baptist Press today ran a number of articles on the overwhelming problem that pornography is having in our culture today. This is not only outside the church walls but is infecting the very ranks of the church from the pew to the pulpit. As a young man I fear for the effect that the easily accessible Internet porn is having and will have on an up and coming generation of young ministers,

Have you ever noticed how the greatest apostle of the New Testament considered himself the least of them all. The Apostle Paul did not consider himself better as he matured in Christ but less and less. In fact, in his last years he wrote that he was the chief of sinners!It seems reasonable to believe in this world that working hard and achieving goals is an honorable task. Yet this is not the
