“Get a weird team of people who are really different. If everybody looks the same, watches the same TV shows, listens to the same bands, wears the same clothes, uses the same colloquialisms, has the same everything, you’re probably in a cult. I just hate to tell you that, and the problem with the cult [...]
Would he? My friend had a dream about this. Jesus was at the gates of Heaven, sporting his Third Day t-shirt. Mac Powell (lead singer of Third Day) walks by and Jesus says, “Oh, hey Mac. Door’s open.” I wonder if he’d get a free t-shirt from Third Day, considering the millions they’ve made singing [...]
Here are a few favorites from a recent photo shoot I did in downtown Tallahassee…. By the way, I won’t be taking many more weddings or shoots for 2010, so book now or forever hold your peace!
“But, Jesus the truth is I’ve struggled so hard to believe… I need my maker To cure of my doubting blood And drain me of the sins I love And take from me my disbelief I know it should come easily But it remains inside of me It battles and devours me It cuddles up [...]
3. Be the opportunity. If how you’re living contradicts what you’re saying, no one will believe a word you say. Live the Gospel out. Love people. Show grace to people. And then, your words will mean something. I had coffee recently with a friend who comes from an atheist background. She is so interested in Jesus [...]
2. Create the opportunity. Have you ever seen the street corner megaphone guy? He’s the one with the signs that state, “Repent or you’re going to hell.” He usually has a megaphone or can yell really loudly. As a college student, I hated that guy. I just knew he was doing so much damage to [...]
My last 3 blogs have stated 3 ways we distort the Gospel. Now, for the solution. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is good news. And sharing that good news is our duty. If we are a Christ follower, and we are NOT sharing Jesus with our friends, family, coworkers, classmates, and neighbors; then we are [...]
3. When we make it a private issue. This is probably the most dangerous missed opportunity for us. We make it a private issue. We simply hide it. We just don’t share the Gospel with anyone. And, I’ve heard, well, I’m not an evangelist…that’s not my thing. My faith is kind of a private issue. [...]
I love great covers. But, I don’t like covers that attempt to sound exactly like the original (much like many church bands). Here are 3 great covers that capture the original’s greatness, but perform it in a new, creative way: Paper Planes (M.I.A.) – covered by The Da Vincis The Da Vincis cover M.I.A.’s “Paper [...]
2. When we make it something it’s not. When we make the “Gospel” about anything but Jesus, we miss an opportunity to share the true Gospel. Sometimes we make it about something good, or even godly. But, if it is not simply Jesus, it’s not the Gospel. Two instances: Social Action. Social action is SO [...]
