I Can Do All Things

There is one thing that is consistent in the history of Christianity and that is we are selfish.  The Gospel has even become about our glory instead of God’s glory.  We also have a tendancy to take scripture and twist it into saying what we want it to say instead of what God truly intended [...]

Perfection

As a former basketball player I know the pressure to be perfect.  Each day of competing either in practice or in games the thought of perfection was being drilled into my head.  It was expected to execute plays and when things fell short there were consequences to pay.  Everyone knew the standard from the coach: [...]

I read a great blog today from a Pastor here in Omaha.  In athletics we commonly see athletes and coaches mention God, faith, religion but seldom do we have much clarity to who their God is or what their religion is.  Here is a great reminder to Christians of the importance of being clear with our [...]

Millard North Adult Booster Club in Action

This morning I had the great pleasure of watching a very powerful tool within the FCA ministry at work.  In October, through the Lord’s leading an FCA Adult Booster Club was formed for Millard North High School.  This group is made up of parents who have a heart to see the Gospel proclaimed at Millard [...]
