No sign of hurricanes. Unless that yellow patch kicks up into something… but if it doesn’t, it is still conceivable that a hurricane could form and move while we are gone. We should be so lucky. I love storms… though I don’t know if Cheryl would echo that sentiment. Plane seats booked, rides arranged. Bonus: [...]
I was reading another few pages from Planting Missional Churches by Ed Stetzer this morning, and in the early going he rides the importance of cultural exegesis hard. I was already familiar with the concept as I just took a course this spring on “Christianity and Culture” from Bruce Guenther over at ACTS (awesome course [...]
We are heading to Florida for the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches‘ biannual iGo convention. We leave on Thursday night. The convention is in Tampa, Florida, so I am watching the Hurricane Forecasting website very carefully to see if we might get hit with a zinger while we’re down there. We’ll actually be down there [...]

I’ve been trying to hook onto one of these but they don’t seem to be very common. The biggest ones seem to be a little preoccupied with issues that I am not necessarily interested in. I don’t really know how to express what it is I am looking for. I am looking for bloggers who [...]
I finally began to work on the articles I had collected for my big paper, and this quote stuck out at me as important. Does anyone have the foggiest idea what sort of power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? The churches are children playing [...]

I was looking around for church plant blogs from BC and Alberta, to see who’s doing what. I encountered a blogger who also pastors The Open House in East Vanouver. Reading over his and his church’s websites gave me a few clues as to his approach to church planting. I had a few thoughts as [...]

We were back in front of storefronts last night. I was feeling spiritually, emotionally, and physically exhausted yesterday afternoon, and seriously considered staying home. I didn’t get notified where we were going until I was already late which was kind of frustrating but that’s the vagaries of technology. We set up in front of Save [...]
Last night we had a water and cookie station in front of PetSmart right next door to the theatre we run Sunday services out of. Of course, we also had stations in front of the Winners and the Chapters, so lots of people who came by already had water given out at another station. Still [...]

Last night was a car wash. I was expecting to get good and sore scrubbing down cars. I did do some, but what excited me more was the chance to talk to people and show them the love of Christ through my attitude and my conversation. In my bay, I found myself the go-to guy [...]
