On the Road Again...

Brad — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 10:10:32 -0700

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13 NIV This afternoon I will be "on the road again" going to the CTCYM Junior High Mission Trip. I am really excited about this mission trip for several reasons, but the main one would be that I have been...

I can't wait till CTCYM Junior High...

Brad — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:39:48 -0700

Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle. Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.

Generous God vs. cheap church - UMC.org

via www.umc.org At a stewardship seminar I recently attended, Nelson Searcy of the Journey Church in New York City said that a theology of abundance underlies everything his church does in terms of stewardship. If we expect people to be generous in their giving to the church, he said, then the church needs to model that generosity and sense of abundance. via www.umc.org Any thoughts?

God is Relentless

Brad — Sun, 02 May 2010 21:30:08 -0700

So Jesus told them this story: "If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.' - Luke 15:3-6 God won't give up on you. He just wont. God will pursue you. God's...

Being Socially Media Cautious

Brad — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:25:39 -0700

Often in my business classes at Texas Wesleyan the professors caution us on social media. The importance of social media websites is growing by the second. Everyday it seems there is a new way to connect with others via social networking, i.e. Facebook, Myspace, & Twitter are the major ones but there is many sites out there to connect. It is a growing trend in American Business that when you apply for a job they research your background which now includes your use on Facebook, Twitter, or even Myspace. So now that stupid Facebook post you put up about your...

Air is Real.

So I found this poem really awesome! Hope you enjoy! Air is Real I can't touch it, but I can feel it I'm enveloped by it every day but never feel smothered It fills my lungs and gives me life but I ususally don't ever give it a second thought It's real so I will live The sun is real I'm enveloped by its warmth every day but never feel smothered It covers my body and gives me life but i rarely feel thankful enough I see because of it, but forget to look It is real so I will...

Gold and Platinum

Brad — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 20:00:13 -0700

There is a bit of celebration in order. Yesterday morning MercyMe met with their lable at a local Hard Rock and were presented with a gold record for their CD All That Is Within Me. If you don’t know, because I didn’t, that represents 500,000 sales. If that isn’t enough they have also become the first Christian artist to sell over 1,000,000 digital downloads. The song: I Can Only Imagine. via therockandworshiproadshow.com

City On Our Knees

Brad — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 06:33:00 -0700

Toby Mac, one of my favorite musical artists released an amazing album, "Tonight." It's an amazing tribute to what we are capable of when we embrace the amazing creativity that God himself has and has given us. Toby's music is so eclectic and original and every time it has a message that hits me straight to the core. On "Tonight" there is a song called "City on our Knees," and it has really hit me this week. Here is a lyric snippet from "City On Our Knees." "Tonight's the night For the sinners and the saints Two worlds collide In...

The Greatest Love

Brad — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:43:52 -0700

Jesus once said: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) Today is Good Friday. It is a Good day, because thousands of years Jesus showed us the meaning of that verse in John, chapter 15. On Sunday one of students asked me a very perceptive question that I'm sure we have all asked. "Brad, Why is it called Good Friday? I mean Jesus dies a terrible death, How can it be a Good day?" Good Friday is good because of the good work that Jesus does, it is good...

What will iPad magazine covers look like?

Brad — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:35:00 -0700

Jesse Rosten, a director in Northern California, asked himself what a magazine cover on the iPad should look like. He came up with the incredibly sweet Sunset Magazine mock up above. Jesse notes that until now, books and magazines have been traditionally portrait in orientation and film and TV has been landscape in orientation. He says with the iPad there's no longer a strict landscape limitation for video. "Maybe you want your vid to appear full screen in portrait mode? Maybe you need a long, tall video banner-ad on the side of a digital magazine page? I think we're going...

Leaving a Legacy

Brad — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:29:44 -0700

In today's Fort Worth Star-Telegram there was a great article that really moved me. Titled "In Memory, Captain still Guides Hawks." HEre is a little snippet: "When Birdville faces Aledo tonight in the Class 4A sectional round, Baggett will guide the Hawks - even though he died of lymphoblastic leukemia on Oct 10, 2009." Jonathan Baggett, a young 17 year old soccer player as many of you is the Baggett that still guides the Birdville Hawks soccer team. "Baggett is a big part of our team," senior forward Clarke Renfro said. "Even though he's passed, he's still our spiritual leader....
