Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
Last week I got this in e-mail from my friend and former co-worker Mick Thornton,
“This is a video of a famous atheist (Penn Gillete from Penn & Teller, the Vegas Magician guys) from a few weeks ago. A guy after a show tells him about Jesus and gives him a Bible, and Penn […]
In my last post I talked about how my little boy Jeremy committed all the money he had saved to help Dare 2 Share in our time of financial need. This weekend he worked for hours cleaning (to make money to donate) and gathering stuff to be sold (so that the money raised could be […]
I love the story of the Widow’s mite in Luke 21:1-3, “As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. ‘I tell you the truth,’ he said, ‘this poor widow has put in more than all […]
What’s the worst Christmas gift you ever got or bought?
Probably the worst Christmas gift I ever got was some kind of European man purse. I opened it up and immediately said, “I hate this. I will never use it.” To add insult to fashion injury, the person who had bought it for me (with […]
Someone once said, “Maturity is coming to the place where you started and knowing that place for the first time.” That’s how I am feeling about my ministry experience at Dare 2 Share right now. When we started eighteen years ago I had one focus: to equip teenagers to share their faith. During our training […]
Okay, I have actually been on TV preacher central, otherwise known as TBN, twice. Once with Luis Palau (yipee!) and once with Ted Haggard (insert awkward silence here.) Another time on another big haired Christian station I once high fived a dude that was raising his hands in praise. The well dressed older gentlemen was […]
I really like Tim Schmoyer. He is a youth leader in Minnesota who is truly making a difference. Tim runs timschmoyer.com, a website that ministers to youth leaders by providing tips, tools and thought provoking articles.
One of the reasons I really appreciate Tim is that he is truly committed to carrying out the mandate […]
It’s kind of weird knowing somebody who is a real Hollywood director. Scott Derrickson, a friend of mine since junior high school, just released a movie that has a very legitimate chance of becoming a major blockbuster, The Day the Earth Stood Still. The previews look awesome. I hope the movie rocks.
Either way check out […]
Yes, I know that seems like a wierd thought to many people. I talk to non profit CEOs all the time about fundraising and they almost all have the same attitude toward it…somewhere between hate/loathe to necessary evil.
But here are the reasons I love raising money for God’s kingdom work through Dare 2 Share:
1. […]
Well over a centruy ago Charles Haddon Spurgeon, England’s phenom preacher, said this of John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim’s Progress:“Prick him anywhere; and you will find that his blood is Bibline, the very essence of the Bible flows from him. He cannot speak without quoting a text, for his soul is full of the […]
