Tillie Burgin leads a ministry called Mission Arlington in Texas. She has been called by many in TX the “Baptist Mother Teresa.” MA is responsible for feeding 1000’s, providing medical care, homeless shelters, shelters for abused women and children, furniture, dental work, if there is a need Tillie and MA find a way to meet […]
One of my pet peeves is people who fail to express gratitude. We all know people that just expect you to do things for them. They live life like they are entitled to whatever you give them. I try to be careful not to let this attitude take control in my life. I know that […]
I have been told by more than one person that I do not appear to be a very happy person. Some people see me as a “grinch”, some people see me as “distant”, I have even been accused of being “stuck up.” There are lots of reasons I guess that I could expound on all […]
I have probably written about this before but I am a crazy about this topic. I try not to be judgemental toward non-believers, I mean I recognize sin and all but it’s not my place to be the Holy Spirit and judge their salvation. Inside the church is a whole different matter. I am a […]
My office is just down the hall from our Creative Arts suite. Every once in a while about this time I start to get serenaded. First let me clarify, I think the music at WRC is the best in Atlanta. You cannot get it too loud (if it’s too loud, you’re too old). I love […]

I was roaming through the bookstore some time ago. I was looking for a devotional book for men. Stumbled onto DREAM by Kenny Luck. I had never heard of Pastor Luck nor his book which is surprising since he is the men’s pastor at Saddleback Church.
This book is really challenging me on many levels. Luck […]
Others have said it but I just am reminded all the time of how extreme Church Planting is as a ministry. Going out without members, a building, support, no programs can be a very scary thing. A lot of guys are jumping in because they think it is the cool thing to do. Most of […]
Last Thursday some church planting guys met at Vinings Lake Church with Pete Hixon. Pete has done a tremendous job at restarting a church that was near death. In a building and location that most would have passed on Pete has gone from about 40 folks on just a few acres, a building that seats […]
I don’t know that I was ever in “it.” But right now I sure feel out of “it.” I am sick as a dog right now and came to work anyway because there were some meetings I had to get to, appointments that were made that I didn’t want to miss…life happens. Anyway, one of […]
