blog combination

i've finally decided that it doesn't make any sense for me to keep two blogs: 1) ministry related and the other 2) random stuff related. therefore, i have moved all of the posts from this blog over to my other blog (www.parkviewyouth.org/blog/) and i will only be updating it from now on. if you want to continue to read any of this stuff you'll need to go over there.

of course, i'll be moving it all over to my own personal website in about 4 months.

sunrise service

i know it's just a part of church culture and i am trying more and more to differentiate between what is church culture and what is biblical CHRISTianity, but i love easter sunrise services. tomorrow i'm preaching at one in a local cemetery and i still need to work on the message a little but i felt like wasting enough time to say that i really do enjoy sunrise services.

the above photo is from good friday's outdoor stations of the cross.

risk

One never dives into the water to save a drowning man more eagerly than when there are others present who dare not take the risk.

just a reminder

They said, "Rabbi" (which means "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"
He replied, "Come along and see for yourself."
They came, saw where he was living, and ended up staying with him for the day. It was late afternoon when this happened.
John 1:28b-29

i'm just saving this as a reminder to "chew on" this passage and especially these two verses.
