Podcast Glitch
There’s a minor problem with the podcast recording from Sunday, so it may be a few more days before it’s available for download. The minor problem is that I forgot to hit the record button.

Why We Won’t Do Fundraisers at Church

Hollywood God: Spider-Man 3

This final chapter in the Spider-Man trilogy provides some great illustrations about how Jesus Christ brings us freedom from sin.

Ocean City Pastors Meeting

They asked me to preach at the sunrise service on Easter. They told me it’s at 6:00 a.m. and has about 1,000-1,500 people, so of course… Continue reading

Hollywood God Podcast
The first podcast from our “Hollywood God” series at CrossWay is now available. It’s based on the movie The Pursuit of Happyness (see this post). Because of copyright restrictions we’ve had to edit the movie clips out of the podcast. (Just so you know why there are some weird transitions.) You can access the podcast… Continue reading

10 Random Things
10 Random Things: (1) Today is when voters here in Maryland, along with Virginia and D.C., get a shot at the national spotlight. I’m registered Independent, so I can’t vote. In my 14 years of voting eligibility, I’ve been registered as a Democrat, Republican, and now Independent. I’m thinking about switching back to Democrat so… Continue reading
