Relentlessly pursuing Christ and His Cause
We have a mouse problem at the Stier house…and I ain’t talking Mickey.
It all started a week or so ago when my wife and I were chillin’ and we saw something dart from the fireplace to behind the couch. So being the concerned husband that I am (okay I just really wanted to catch [...]
I was on a plane a few weeks ago sitting next to a very nice lady who was reading Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala. Although the book came out years ago I never got around to reading it. Although I didn’t want to interrupt her (she was devouring the book) I couldn’t help [...]
There’s nobody like Jesus.
He can take a situation where you feel pressed and distressed and turn it around with a flinch of his finger. When you are torn up inside and the pain seems more than you can bear he takes his nail scarred hand, puts it gently on your shoulder and whispers through his [...]
I’m thankful for Jesus, for His grace, for free access to the throneroom of God anytime of the day or night, for a wife that loves me in spite of all my “idiot”syncrasies, for a spastic son with a glimmer in his eye and a sensitive heart, and for a sweet daughter with a unique [...]
Last night I took a two legged flight from Denver to Memphis and Memphis to Knoxville. I then drove the long, winding road from Knoxville through the Smokey Mountains to Gatlinburg. I feel like I’ve reached the deep south promised land after 40 years in the desert! Oh manna it’s been quite a ride! [...]
Someone asked me the other day what I thought of “so and so” (a certain communicator in the hip blog-God underworld of overtones.) I said something like, “He seems like a good guy but….”
“But what?” he shot back.
“Hmmmm…” I thought to myself, “How do I put what I am feeling into words? Ah, I know…”
I [...]
The Survive Conference rocked the Pepsi Center last weekend! Somewhere around 9,000 teenagers and adults filled this sports venue with the screams, chants and excitement that would rival any Avs or Nuggets game!
Results? A late night recount on Saturday night confirmed 20 tons of canned food collected for the Denver Rescue Mission, 500 trusted [...]
It’s been a crazy week and it’s going to culminate with an even crazier week-end. Tonight somewhere between 8,000-9,000 teenagers will gather together to rock the house with Lincoln Brewster, The Washington Projects, The Evangelism Linebacker, Insane Zane, the D2S drama troupe and yours truly.
Pray that God does something over the next two days at [...]
Wow. Little did I know that my Youth Specialties talk would produce such fallout, especially over the issue of homosexuality (I alluded to it in my sermon about getting youth ministry back to Christ and the cross and happened to call homosexuality a “sin” in a closing, sidepoint illustration.) Anyway, you can check out the [...]
I just got back from Youth Specialties (the largest attended youth leader training organization in the world.) YS brings together all sorts of youth leaders from all sorts of denominations to equip, refresh, provoke and entertain them for four days. They also bring together a rather eclectic array of divergent teachers, preachers and artists to [...]
