Here are some devotional readings from Mark's Gospel for your kids this week. Mark is simple and straightforward in his narrative. Each reading roughly follows each day of Jesus' life between Palm Sunday and Easter:SUNDAY/MONDAY -- Mark 11:1-25 TUESDAY -- Mark 11:27-33; 12:13-17, 12:28-34 WEDNESDAY -- Mark 14:1-26 THURSDAY -- Mark 14:27-72 FRIDAY -- Mark 15:1-41 SATURDAY -- Mark 15:42-47 EASTER

A 30-ish North Atlanta suburbanite engaged in a biannual tradition required by all home owners with fescue lawns: overseeding. This former 3rd generation Texan didn't understand all things -- or anything thing -- fescue when he moved East of the Mississippi. All he knew was St. Augustine, and I'm not talking about the church father. St. Augustine is the blessed grass warm environs, needing

Friends,Last Sunday, Pastor Bryant Wright at Johnson Ferry (church I serve) announced to the church family that I would take on the additional role of "Teaching Pastor."This means that I'll have the privilege of filling the pulpit on a more regular basis. Bryant will also mentor me, his son George, and my good friend and fellow co-teaching pastor, Paul Jimenez.That was unexpected, but very

Take a batch of The Lord of the Rings, mix in a little Harry Potter, add a dash of Narnia, and season it with Star Wars, bake it for 1 hour and 55 minutes over a lukewarm flame of atheistic humanism, and voila! You have a fresh serving of New Line Cinema’s The Golden Compass.Visually stunning, but woefully lacking in coherence, The Golden Compass will be nearly impossible for a pre-teen to

On Sunday night, one of my beloved spiritual mentors had his Homecoming. Mike Graham, 60, my BSM director during my Texas A&M days, died in a tragic car accident outside of College Station on Sunday night, Nov. 4th. I have many many happy memories of Mike. Noon Bible studies at the BSM, Mexico mission trips over the Christmas break, on-campus evangelism events, Fish Care Groups on Monday nights,

One of my professors at Fuller Seminary, Dr. Archibald Hart, has written two of the most important books I have ever read. They cover the physiological consequences of our break-neck speed lifestyle. These two books should be the next books you read: Thrilled to Death, and Adrenaline and Stress.

Sunday morning began with worship at Apostles Church, the host church of the block party at John Jay Park. Pastor JR Vassar gave an inspiring talk celebrating their 2nd anniversary, along with numerous testimonies from members. Several of the members related they found Apostles after receiving church info. at a subway stop. That greatly encouraged our team.After church at Apostles, we enjoyed

Saturday was quite a day in NYC. We began with a cold, rainy morning as we made our way uptown to John Jay Park. At 10:3o we began to unload the block party gear from the trailer -- popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, moonwalk, tables, chairs, face painting & craft stations. Still raining at 11:30, 30 mins. until the start of the party -- and no kids.However, as the first photo above attests

We spent the afternoon prayer-walking our target areas. During rush hour, we handed out nearly 1000 flyers at subway stops advertising the church. Talk about uncomfortable! But it will bear fruit. JR tells us they always get visitors when teams hand out flyers.Looks like rain tonight and early tomorrow. Pray for dry weather beginning around 10:00 am for our block party set up.

We are spending this morning and afternoon prayerwalking the target area and looking to have "strategic conversations.". My first was with a woman at the cafe at b'fast. As I'm leaving, she looks up and says, "Can you help me?". She had spent all night in Manhattan trying to finish grades for a college class she taught. She hadn't slept and couldn't work out the math. So I helped her out, then

I received an email this Sunday morning from a church member, inviting me to attend a Sunday afternoon lunch with Gov. Mike Huckabee -- Republican candidate for president. Needless to say, I jumped on the chance. Out of all the candidates running for office, Gov. Huckabee is far and away my favorite. I agree with nearly everything he advocates -- including the Fair Tax. But best of all, Gov.

D'twn Roswell is a great place to eat, and the Fickle Pickle is one of the more interesting places we've discovered.

On July 22, 1995, I married the love of my life -- the former Roni Rene Johnson. Since that hot July day, we have traveled the world together, lived in 4 different houses, served 3 different churches, and had 3 beautiful children. Yesterday we visited the High Museum and enjoyed a nice dinner in Buckhead. We spent today quietly enjoying each other's company (our tennis match got rained out). I

Finally.... I hit a much anticipated milestone today: Page 75!What is page 75? Glad you asked. It is the exact middle of my doctoral dissertation for Fuller Seminary! Summer is a little slower, and I've taken a bit of a teaching sabbatical so I can focus on my paper. With a November 1 deadline looming, it's time to crank it out and get it done.Plan for the rest of it: 15 pages July 8-15, 15 pages

Why is the Holy Spirit both necessary and dangerous for Christian leaders? Here is what 1 Corinthians 2 has to say:1. The Holy Spirit takes "me" out of the lead role.Paul did not bring to the Corinthians eloquence or superior wisdom (me-focused). Instead, he came with fear, weakness, and trembling. Not with wise and persuasive words. Not with him. Only with Jesus (v. 2).2. The Holy Spirit becomes

All this talk lately among Southern Baptist's has caused me to reflect upon the Holy Spirit and His role in our lives. I was greatly disturbed a couple of years ago when my seminary professor and spiritual hero spoke about the Holy Spirit's role in discipleship. He said very little. Hardly a word about the role of the Spirit in spiritual formation.I asked him about it. He gave a nice "tip of

It's true. The city of Powder Springs is leasing a 75' X 75' plot of land in the front yard of a neighbor next to Post Oak Square subdivision (where we live).

I celebrated a milestone tonight... I turned in my last class project for Fuller Seminary! I am now officially done with classes (big sigh of relief).

It seems like I've had a paper, or a project, or a test, or something like that hanging over my head since the late 1980's.Alas... not quite finished yet. One more paper to go, but that one

Need a better way to punish and/or reward your kids?Here's a little "it's working for us" parenting advice. Each day, parents of small children are faced with an array of good and bad behavior. Lots of the good stuff is praiseworthy, but doesn't quite reach the "reward" level. Lots of the bad stuff is punishable, but do you really want to put your children in timeout 10 times or more a day?
