Well it’s the name of our new series on relationships, but more than that, it’s a great word to describe the way God does what God does. Today was one of those Sundays that you dream about as a pastor – the day that the attendance is crankin’, the vibe is flowin’ and things go better than you plan. It’s particularly impactful for me today because it didn’t start that way, but in spite of ME and THAT, HE brought people not only to church, but home to HIM!

Fasting is a very difficult and frankly an inconsistent part of my spiritual disciplines, but the call to 21 days of prayer and fasting by my friend Stovall Weems (ARC board member) puts it squarely in front of me at the start of each new year. This year I am personally going to be staging my fast. Where I start will ramp up to where I end. Read more
