I triple dog dare you

Posted on Tuesday 19 August 2008 by Greg @ 12:50 pm
Filed under: Rants

Too many times, too many Christians talk, talk, talk about transforming the next generation but there are few who actually do it. Just last week I was doing a fundraising meeting with about thirty people and asked the question, “How are teenagers viewed by the average church in America?”

Filed under: Rants

This weekend I’ll be preaching at my “new” home church Northern Hills Christian Church. Debbie and I have been going here since February or so and we love it. Although Grace Church will always be close to my heart we felt it was time to have a fresh start somewhere else. After ten years as […]

Filed under: Rants

This “article” is from an old “Stier Straight” article I wrote three or so years ago. Somebody brought it up the other day and it made me smile. Maybe it will give you a giggle today.
What is it with the body of Christ and bumper stickers? Seriously - how many people do you think will […]

My tough little girl

Posted on Sunday 3 August 2008 by Greg @ 7:45 am
Filed under: Rants

Yesterday I decided to take my kids on a long hike at Golden Gate State Park in the Rocky Mountains of my home state Colorado. Now Jeremy, my seven year old, has been on a bunch of hikes with me and is pretty used to toughing it out on a trail. He knows that if […]

Delays, Des Moines, The Mall of America and the Power of God

Posted on Friday 1 August 2008 by Greg @ 6:42 am
Filed under: Rants

Last weekend my son and daughter played the obligatory roles of ring bearer and flower girl in my nephew’s wedding in Des Moines. I barely made it there on Saturday morning after flight delays from Seattle into Chicago and then missing my connection (of course on the other side of Chicago O’Hare from where the […]

Filed under: Rants

I am preaching in at The Gorge in Washington state this morning to thousands of festival goers gathered in a breathtaking setting. Pray with me that those in attendance are challenged and equipped to share their faith. And then pray with me that they do it!
Once again I’ll be giving them the double dare (to […]

Art…Denver’s Oldest Virgin

Posted on Tuesday 22 July 2008 by Greg @ 6:39 am
Filed under: Rants

My buddy Art (yes the one that I tell stories about) won a radio contest yesterday for being Denver’s oldest virgin. I was the one who actually called him up and told him about it. I had overheard it while scanning the radio stations (a bad habit of mine) on the way home from the […]

Time for a Revolution. Are you in?

Posted on Saturday 19 July 2008 by Greg @ 7:58 am
Filed under: Rants
