weekend church pastor
We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.
christianity christ salvation
Every other religion is a salvation by self, Christianity is a salvation by Christ.
friday team sunday
Usually I'm able to prepare a message about two to three weeks in advance.I know some preachers don't like that. They want to be finishing it on Friday before they preach it on Sunday, but our worship team really likes me to get it done way in advance.
kind
Fredrick Buechner kind of loosened me up, hes got a little irreverency to him and I have a little too much reverancy.
kind like-you christianity
[ Christianity], in and of itself, sets itself apart inherently, and so, for somebody to say, Well it just seems to me like you can pick between all these religions and still have the same thing. Its kind of like somebody saying, You could pick between 80 bananas and one apple and say you have a banana. You cant call that apple a banana.
kind
Fredrick Buechner kind of loosened up my clerical collar, you might say.
couple
A couple of things have helped. One is that I dont travel any, that takes a lot of time from peoples schedules, if they travel, so I dont travel.
anxiety concern
My main concern is with the anxiety that has settled upon America.
smart people very-smart
I don't get asked a lot of questions about science and the Bible, for example. Probably people just know I'm not very smart and I don't have an answer to those anyway.
focus church protect
I have a great staff at the church; they protect me and allow me to focus on more of what I do best.
jesus book scholar
[There is] a great book from Ravi Zacharis, a scholar from India, and its called Jesus Among Other Gods. I havent read that one, but I know Ravi really well, and I know its a good book.
praying
For those who never pray, maybe now you will. For those of us who attempt to pray, maybe we can pray more.
prayer together spirit
That's what I'm hoping we can all do, is come together in a spirit of prayer.
trying march january
In March 2011 I'm trying to decide on a sermon series that I will preach in January 2012. So, I'm about six months out.
