Hope you guys had a great Memorial Day weekend. I know we did. The highlight of my weekend was a short, but unforgettable, camping trip with the family. We stepped it up a notch this year and went “primitive” camping. In short, this means you don’t have electricity or water. I know it sounds like [...]

The great thing about having friends who blog over to your house is there’s a decent chance something will happen that they’ll blog. And when they do blog whatever happens you can steal it, saving yourself from actually writing a blog post. If your friend has a camera this “ripoff” will be even easier. Add [...]

So you may find this hard to believe, but Brandi and I do have moments of intense fellowship now and then. We usually fight over the same stupid things most of you probably fight over. I could list out our last five fights but as I review them every one of them was over things [...]

I’ve noticed lately an increased awareness of just how easily it seems most Christians can get offended (and yes, this can certainly include me). I talk to people all the time who are just outraged at what SOMEONE HAS… Said. Done. Written. Preached. Blogged. As I listen to their story I’m often reminded how our [...]

Since I’m traveling back to Nashville this morning I thought I’d take the opportunity to invite my good friend and Cross Point’s Pastor of Ministries Chris Surratt to speak into something he is amazing at and is one of his roles here at Cross Point; raising up leaders. Take it away man. I want to [...]

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit a part of the country I never thought I would see. Imperial, Nebraska. I spent the day with the Burpo family. Todd Burpo is the author of the crazy successful book, Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back, as well [...]

MATT 7: 1-5 1 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no [...]

If you haven’t joined us for our new Cross Point Internet Campus then this Sunday is your opportunity. We’ve had several thousand people from a dozen or so countries join us the first few weeks. 6:00 pm (CST) Sunday night. My favorite part is the live Q & A we do after the message. My [...]

I’m supposed to be working hard today to finish up my message for this Sunday.  For some reason I’m having a tough time wrapping this one up. But then I remembered…apparently the world is going to end this Saturday, so no worries. Ugggghhhh! I don’t want to pick on my fellow believers (I’m confident they [...]

I thought I’d heard it all, but this is so over the top, it left me standing there shocked. You would probably have to be living under a rock to not have heard about the  San Francisco mother who’s been injecting her 8 year-old daughter, Britney, with Botox to minimize her “wrinkles.” Yes, you read [...]
