This is part 3 of a blog series on why we sing. You can check on the other posts here. WE SING BECAUSE IT MAKES GOD SMILE. [Tweet “We sing because it makes God smile.”] Obedience is when we do something God says we should do. The Bible repeatedly instructs us to sing in worship. So when we sing, we are …
I had a question from a friend the other day about the King James Version of the Bible. Maybe like you, this person had read a sign that said, “If it ain’t King James it ain’t Bible” and wondered where that sentiment came from. There are many people who believe that the King James Version is the version that Jesus …
A couple of nights ago while I was reading Obadiah a book at bedtime, I pointed to the corner of Africa where Eli lives. Since that time, every time we open that book up and turn to that page, Obie points to the corner and says, “E-ya, brubba, E-ya.” Yes, that is where he is for now, but hopefully, he …
My C-Group had a great time last night discussing the weekly topic of “Church: More Than a Building.” We talked about what people wrongly assume is church (building, programs, activities, social club, etc.). We talked about what killed local congregations (selfishness, wrong ways of evaluating progress, apathy, refusal to biblically confront, and biblically unfit leaders). We got to the place …
What a great day with North Side today! Week 7 0f 8 in the True[ish] series and we got to the doctrine of the church. It’s been great to see all these weeks grow upon each other – I have learned so much! Jeff’s message was great and reminded me of why I am so thankful to be a part …
This week’s book of the week is the ever-so-polarizing The Shack by William P. Young. I have received more questions about this book than I did about The Da Vinci Code. When people ask, it normally starts like this, “Have you read The Shack? What did you think about it?” I’ll ask what they thought about it and they want to …
This is part 2 of a blog series on why we sing. You can check on the other posts here. WE SING BECAUSE IT MAKES THEOLOGY MEMORABLE. Another reason we sing is because a worship song can make the complex memorable. In Col. 3:16, Paul wrote, “Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and …
Sunday, I introduced a new original worship song entitled “No Greater Love.” We are planning on leading it again this Sunday due to some very encouraging feedback. I told you why I tend to shrink back from leading with original songs a couple of weeks ago, but as God continues to stretch me, this is one of the songs I …
We had a great Valentine’s weekend at the Agnew house. Even though our Friday night date night plans were canceled due to the snow, we had a great time. On Sunday night, the three Agnews were sharing cuddles, hugs, and kisses before we put Obadiah down for the night. As we were making sure that every family member received an …
I am writing to tell you about our next step meeting for families wanting to pursue North Side’s growing adoption/foster care ministry. We have decided to call this ministry “Homes for Hope.” Since everyone’s involvement would be different, we didn’t want to call it adoption ministry or foster care, since there are so many ways to help. We also did …
