Jeremy’s first solo witnessing experience

Posted on Thursday 19 June 2008 by Greg @ 7:22 am
Filed under: Rants

So last week I’m up in Estes Park with my family at a time share that my in-laws own. Jeremy comes running inside breathless and yells, “Daddy, your website is dare2share.org right?”
“What are you talking about Jeremy?” I asked him, wondering what in the world was going on.
“I need the website daddy. I’m telling a […]

Questioning verses Doubting

Posted on Sunday 15 June 2008 by Greg @ 9:12 am
Filed under: Rants

Is there a difference between questioning and doubting? I think so. For instance in the Psalms there are many questions that plague David about how and why God does certain things. From “why do the heathen prosper” to “why, O Lord, to you stand far off?” to “how long, O, Lord?” David is full of […]

The “D” Word (or the longest post of my life)

Posted on Wednesday 11 June 2008 by Greg @ 3:21 pm
Filed under: Rants

*This is a reprint of an article I wrote three years ago. I think it still has big relevance today, especially today. What do you think?
Utter it in some churches and you’ll be damned (no, “damn” is not the word.) This is a word that causes many pastors, Sunday school teachers and deacons to cringe […]

Jesus Recycles

Posted on Monday 9 June 2008 by Greg @ 6:14 am
Filed under: Rants

Does your prayer life seem dry lately?
Do you feel a overwhelmed by life?
Are you facing a partcularly challenging trial?
There is nobody who can “recycle” your soul like Jesus when times get tough. Come to God in prayer in the name of Jesus and the power of the Spirit and he will fill you up, give […]

Creationfest East is just a few weeks away!

Posted on Saturday 7 June 2008 by Greg @ 8:17 am
Filed under: Rants

Speaking at Creation is one of those rare speaking venues every preacher dreams of. Tens of thousands attentive, excited and ready-for-what-God’s-going-to-do crowds in a beautiful setting. I’ve never encountered a festival that, not only has the top Christian bands, but puts such a big emphasis on the Word of God. Pastor Harry has done a […]

Jesus is coming soon!

Posted on Wednesday 4 June 2008 by Greg @ 8:44 pm
Filed under: Rants

Two days ago Jeremy (7), Kailey (3) and I were going out to take a walk. As we went outside we were greeted with a wonderful sight. The biggest Cumulus Nimbus cloud I think I have ever seen. It was black on the edges and purple in the middle, that’s right purple. I have never […]

Going Green

Posted on Sunday 1 June 2008 by Greg @ 7:54 am
Filed under: Rants

I’m doing a new series on our Dare 2 Share Uncensored Podcasts called Going Green. No, not that kind of green. But I do think that environmentalism concern is a great analogy for taking care of the climate of our soul.
Here are the titles and descriptions of the sermons in this short series.
1. […]

Watered up!

Posted on Thursday 29 May 2008 by Greg @ 4:40 pm
Filed under: Rants

This morning I dropped Jeremy (my seven year old) off at the babysitter’s house and we had a short but funny conversation. I told him, “Hey Jeremy we gotta get you water baptized soon. Now that you’ve trusted in Jesus as your Savior we need to get you to take the next step.” His response […]

Indy verses Aslan

Posted on Monday 26 May 2008 by Greg @ 8:13 am
Filed under: Rants

To be honest I can’t afford to see movies like I used to back in the day. A date night with my wife can be an expensive proposition and not because she has got extravagent tastes (she married me after all) but because of all of the extras:
Dinner before the movie can range from $35-$65 […]
