Part-3 This past week I stumbled upon some thoughts written by J.T. Pugh way back in 1998 from his book “The wisdom and the power of the cross.” This is a book that is one of those “deep calling to deep” pieces of literature. Something that is not an easy read per say, but has [...]

Core Beliefs-Part 2
In our last post I challenged you to examine your 3 core beliefs. These beliefs become that 6th sense to how we react to decisions before we really have time to ponder them. I don’t know about you but sometimes I have a question asked of me and I have an immediate response before I [...]
Core Beliefs-Part 1
I was recently reading an older leadership book written by Bill Hybels entitled “Courageous Leadership.” This is a must-read for any leader out there. It is a plethora of information on leadership from styles to functionality. It has made a tremendous impact on my life and on my ministry. It has kick started a whole [...]
Prayer is our Power!
There was a Welsh woman who lived in a remote valley in Wales. She went to a great deal of trouble and expense to have electrical power installed in her home. However, after a couple of months, the electric company noticed she didn’t seem to use very much electricity at all. Thinking there might be [...]
Thanksgiving Makes Church Great!
It is my desire to see Calvary Church break away from mediocrity and surpass “good” to become “great”. Good is not good enough when dealing with the kingdom of God. I was thinking this week of ways that would free us from the chains of regular church. One thing that came to mind is our [...]
Invest the best
Investments are great things when they pay off, but not so great when they tank. I know of a couple guys in my small world of connections that lost millions in the stock market in the recent economic tank. One guy lost 7 million. Seven million of which was not paper money but cash invested. [...]
Deconstruct to Reconstruct
I hate construction. I worked in the industry for 7 years and can tell you that I am glad I am out of it. It’s dirty, it’s cold, it’s hot, and it’s just plain nasty. Saw dust in your hair, down your back, all over you. Nasty! I have worked on building of new homes [...]
Getting Unplugged
I have an excuse for my absenteeism from the blogosphere. Weeded, swamped, out of control activity. But really which of us are not living in that world today. It is insane. We run and push and squeeze so many things into a day that we sometimes think one day is a thousand years. I was [...]
Dog Fight PT 2
There are two dogs at war in us. The first we already looked at. The one we call the “flesh”. It leads us to things that Paul lists in Gal 5:19-21 which will bring us to a place where we won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven. (Not cool) The good thing about this is that [...]
Dog Fight PT 1
I hate this story, but love its point. Fisherman up north comes to town every weekend with his two dogs. Both are Huskies and both are the same age and size. The only difference is that one is black and one is white. Every Saturday he would come into town and pit the dogs against [...]
