  • House Church Clarification

    When I talk about house church it is rare that I get an excited response but this past Saturday a friend introduced me to another couple as running a house church and the couple was actually excited and interested in the concept.

  • The Gospel

    Some Time ago a quote from DA Carson and it has really had a profound affect on the way I think about the gospel and ministry. Here is the quote in full context and a link to the text of the message. Perhaps more common yet is the tendency to assume the gospel, whatever that…

  • Random Thoughts

    I saw a report of Foxsports.com about the new “Worlds fastest Man” a title given to the man who holds the world record in the 100M dash.  The link said, click here to see highlights of his record breaking run.  How does one edit down highlights of a 9.74 second race? Walking down the hall…

  • House Church Update

    For those who are interested in how things are going with our house church I have decided to update you here hopefully every Monday. This past week we were asked to move our ‘service’ to the evening as two of our group had a company picinic to attend, and since we could we did.  I…

  • Another Brick in the Wall V

    Dave Diyanni One thing I will always take with me from my time at Vineyard Community Church is that this man knew he would have to answer to God for how he treated people and lived his life and so his decisions were marked with a deliberation that I don’t see in most people. I…

  • Another Brick in the Wall IIII…opps I mean IV

    Dale Sackrider Dale has been my leader, my coworker, and my friend in the almost 10 years that I have known him.  We car pooled and sat right next to one another for years and during our walks around the parking lot at work we solved all of the worlds problems.  He has helped me…
