I Wish I Could…

Dunk a basketball like this… So what’s one thing you wish you could do that you’ll more than likely never get to do? Go ahead. Spill it.

Giving It Up!

I grew up Baptist and we never talked about Lent. Ever. It was actually only a few years ago that I began to understand Lent as a season of preparation for Easter. Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, marks the first day or the start of the season of Lent. Lent is a time when many Christians prepare [...]

How To Stay In Love

Our society is obsessed with falling in love. Just watch any romantic comedy or listen to most love songs, the focus on love these days leans heavily toward falling in love. This isn’t surprising though is it? I mean what’s the prerequisite for falling in love? A pulse. That’s about it. Truth be known while [...]

Homebody

Someone asked me the other day why I don’t like to travel. They said, “With your adventurous spirit I thought you would love hopping around from city to city.” There was probably a day I enjoyed traveling more than I do now.

There’s something about us that always wants to put God in a box. We want to pretend like we can predict His next move. Now, [...]

Also wanted to share a little from my heart about the new series “Five Things” we’re launching this Sunday. So excited!! 5 Things from [...]

A Little Perspective

Have you ever heard the term one of “those” days?  It’s usually not used to describe a good day or a productive day. We usually use this term to describe a day that is less than spectacular. I bring this up because yesterday was one of “those” days. It’s the kind of day you wish [...]

5 Things

This weekend we’re launching a new series at Cross Point entitled “5 Things.” It’s a series on marriage geared to help both married couples and singles confront the things that can destroy your marriage (or future marriage). I believe this series will be an essential owner’s manual for every married couple and a cheat sheet [...]
