Have a “Super Day” (2/5/12) |
As a part of the hospitality training for the Super Bowl Volunteers, we were trained to end every conversation with a visitor to Indianapolis with the phrase, “Have a Super Day!” A bit of Hoosier corn seed? I will let you decide that. But, it did get me to thinking about what would make... |

Worship's Emotional Component (2/5/12) |
Every element of true worship involves some emotional component. The emotional component is not driven by a direct operation of the Holy Spirit (as in Calvinism) or “getting the Holy Spirit” (as in Charismatic practice). The emotional component of true worship is the result of a... |

What Needs Changing? (1/15/12) |
When you look into the mirror and your face appears dirty, it is your face, not the mirror that needs attention. The Bible is the mirror of the soul.
