It's the best...

Our KING, REDEEMER and GOD will be there! Worship is going to happen!

I hope to see you there.

Mad At Church?

Are you mad at church? To be honest I get mad at church. I know that this might seem like a trick question because Bill talked about anger and Chris and Karl talked about bitterness. But it's not.

There are people who are mad at church. Not mad at A church (although I would wager there are those too!) but mad at THE church. Let's face it, we haven't always and continue to do things the wrong way. Even Jesus got pretty mad at the church in His day! 

So this is where we are. As you drive around town for the next few weeks you're going to see billboards that say www.madatchurch.com. You should check it out. Seriously! We are really stretching out here because we feel like the things that Jesus talked about are important! 

We've screwed stuff up and it's time that we own our mistakes and set things right. So if you are a part of the FBC family then get ready because we need to do this. If you're just checking this out then I would encourage you to come on out on a weekend and see what we're talking about.

There will be more updates coming and invitations for you to hand out soon! 

The Abacus is here!

Thanks to everyone who voted in my poll. Based on your recommendation I have now received my abacus and am trying to learn how to use it!

Ok, so I didn't really get the abacus, although I did have a few people ask me if it was a new line of computers that they hadn't heard of yet. For those of you who don't know what it is! What I did end up getting though is the MacBook Pro.

After much research I'm convinced that the Mac and Windows machines are exactly the same when it comes to the hardware. The only real difference is in the OS. There is a new version of Windows coming out this year and it looks pretty neat, but I needed something sooner than that.

So I went ahead and got the Mac. I have to admit it does look very cool. But coolness aside, it is just a tool. In fact all of the cool things that I have are only tools that Jesus has given me to help point to people to Him! I have to remember that otherwise I just get to wrapped up in my stuff. I would bet that there are some of you who need to do that today! You need to recognize that your stuff is only yours because Jesus wants you to use it in a way that brings glory to Him.

I'm not saying don't enjoy it. I love playing my hand-built, custom electric bass. But if I only used it for me then I would be wasting it.

The Mac is cool, but I hope that because I am able to have it someone, or many someones, will get to know Jesus, who, by the way, is way cooler than Mac and Steve Jobs any day!!
