Move over Peter Popoff, crazy charismatics no longer corner the market on Heavenly h20. Apparently those crazy high-church Christians had to get in on the act too. A company in California will soon be selling their “Holy Drinking Water” nationwide. Blessed by an Anglican and Catholic Priest, this water comes complete with a warning label, […]

This is my last post on the whole “Lost Tomb of Jesus” documentary. I promise. Maybe. I just had two quick points.

If the tomb of Jesus was so ornate that the director even commented on its rarity, why wouldn’t anyone in the first century know that is where he and his family was buried? Wouldn’t […]

Well, today after working out, I had a strange moment of clarity. Strange in the sense of “surprising”. As James and I talked about various Church stuff at our office (Aka Mikey D’s), I began to realize something. I have a problem with laziness. Some people don’t see it, but it’s there. It hurts to […]

Well, I just got finished doing some reading/surfing/examining over at jesusfamilytomb.com. Interestingly, they not only discuss the “Lost Tomb of Jesus”, but have pages dedicated to several different topics. You can, for instance, learn about “Early Christianity”. Learn how the Essenes, a small Jewish sect, impacted the development of the Christian faith. Learn about….wait a […]

Ok. So, I wasn’t really upset when I saw the documentary. Sure, the information is slanted in a particular direction, but at least it tries to be subtle. Surfing the net just a few moments ago I found www.jesusfamilytomb.com. At their official website, the filmmakers still try to claim neutrality. Is that why their official […]

Well, our goal here at verge wasn’t to make today “Jesus’ Tomb” day, but the historian in me just can’t pass up the opportunity to chime in on this topic. James posted earlier about the fact that disciples would not have allowed the body to be available to the public if they were claiming that […]

Last Saturday night my wife and I spent the evening with our “one shot” friends. (See my previous post). We had dinner, watched some tv and played some Xbox. As we were hanging out with them, I came to a realization: unreached people aren’t that scary. In fact, they can be downright fun to be […]

You know, every so often I get asked why we do church the way we do here at LifePoint. People ask about everything from our message format, to our use of video, to our music style. Some ask out of general curiosity, some are genuinely uncomfortable with some, or all, of these things. For these […]

Have you ever invited someone to church? Maybe you picked them up, walked them through the door and sat with them through the service. If you have, then you know how nerve wracking it can be. All of your focus is on your guest. Did everyone speak to them? Was everyone friendly? Is the pastor […]

Well, if you can’t tell from the pictures below, I totally schooled James and Josh at 21. Three games straight. In their defense, I’m the only one of us who really plays basketball. (Elementary - High School). I’m also the closest one to being in shape, so running around doesn’t bother me as much as […]
