Tuesday Night Reflections

Tonight we launched Generation. We're a gathering of high school students ready to win a generation at all costs. Every Tuesday night I'm going post a blog and reflect on the happenings of that night's encounter...Here we go...

• First and foremost, God showed up!!!
• Everything ran so smooth...
• We have a great team and can't wait to add to it...
• Mongo is the man. Great spiritual son who's ready and willing to learn.
• Everyone loved the video announcements.
• Great core of students tonight. They were pumped and ready to go.
• Worship was great. Travis, Trevor, and Lori did a great job. I was there too, but I'm nothing without my team.
• It was so awesome to get back to speaking regularly
• Spoke out of Jeremiah 20:9, Luke 24:32, & 2 Timothy 1:6. God is looking for the Burning Ones.
• Great altar time.

That's is for tonight!!!

Election thoughts...

So we have new president. I've been reading so many comments like...

• "cant believe what has happened"
• "wondering how long it takes until the morons realize what they've done"
• "WHAT HAS AMERICA DONE?!?!?! "

Some of you who read this may get really mad and offended by some of the stuff I'm about to say.

First off, I believe that this whole election was in God's hands. He knows what He's doing. His will was done. I can hear dome of you now saying, "How can you say that?!?!?" I can say that by saying this...maybe this has happened so the Church can rise up and be the Church!!! Quit worrying about denominations and how many people we're running and how many campuses we can open and how big our buildings are and how awesome our worship team is and start being the church. The modern day church has become so comfortable that maybe we've forgotten how to pray. Even before Obama became a candidate and Prop 8 was a thought, the church should have been praying. For the sake of the Kingdom. I'm ready to be the church. Are you?

2 Chronicles 7:14 - 14 Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.

Second...I'm going to pray for Mr. Obama every chance I get. We're commanded to pray for those in authority.

And one more thing...If you didn't vote then you have no right to complain about anything.

Just my thoughts...

Thanks...

I sit here thanking God for His faithfulness. A year ago I was questioning Him quite a bit, but I know that He had Lori and I in His hands the entire time. Jeremiah 29:11 rings true...He does have plans for us. We're on His mind. I just wanted to take some time and thank some people for being there for us when we've needed it...

Chip & Debbie - You guys have been my spiritual parents since I was in high school. The best youth pastors a guy could have. Thanks for being there this past year.

Travis and Amy - You guys have stuck with us through thick and thin. No matter what, you're always there. Thanks for being our friends. We love you guys so much!!!

Terry & Lori - We've said it over and over but you guys are more than friends...you're part of our family. We love you guys a lot.

Terry & Kylie - You guys are the best. Lori and I count it a privilege to call you friends. Thanks for everything.

Last but certainly not least...

Todd & Mishele - Wow...I really can't put into words what you guys mean to us. Thank you for opening your home and just listening to us in the living room that night and letting us vent and cry. Thank you for the encouragement and the advice.

That's just a few thank yous. Thank you to everyone who prayed for us. We love you...
