musings and news from church ministry on Long Island - the edge of New York City.
I’ve had a lot of conversations in the last couple weeks about how Christians can live with a sharp disconnect between what they believe and how they act. Inconsistency, hypocrisy, lack of character – we have lots of different labels for something that we both hate in others and, when we’re brutally honest, see in ourselves. [...]
You do not have… because you do not ask. James 4:2b– Implies something very powerful. It points to an incredible connection between our action of simple prayer and God’s bold deeds. A simple sentence that reminds me to pray. One of my favorite nights of youth group events is our Prayer Night. About twice a [...]
Some would call this late, I say that Christmas greetings are never unwelcome…. so here you are – a Christmas greeting from the three of us Hope your Christmas season was as full of joy as ours was. Bonus – here’s video.
Quick random thanks to God – Ilyia Wilson (14 year old youth group member with Lymphoma) got it PET scan last night and he is now… wait for it… CANCER FREE – God is really Good. Last month was amazing! I started listing some of the events we’ve had but it seemed like it was [...]
Tomorrow is See You At the Pole on Long Island and I want to ask as many people as possible to pray along with students. I asked some of our high school youth group students to write down how their schools need prayer. Here’s what they wrote. Please pray for them. I ask that you help [...]
This (above) is a video from our VBS picnic – mostly our youth band covering DC Talks Jesus Freak . In retrospect we should have practiced, or maybe even figured out the chords out ahead of time… But (it’s kinda funny) – And it does a good job at reminding me of how hard growing up as a [...]
(listen above or download here) I spoke this week at our two AM services – it was more or less a thanksgiving themed message. I’ve been really happy for all the encouragement I’ve received from people – I love it when God’s Word touches people through its’ simple presentation. You can learn a lot about [...]
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 Every spoken word is an attack in a battle that is a War of Words between God and Satan. For the last two weeks I’ve been trying to teach students that their words have incredible [...]
One of my favorite parts of my week is being able to play music in worship. I’m trying to get better on electric guitar, but really there’s little I enjoy more than playing with some really talented musicians who work hard at leading people to the presence of God. This is one of our Junior High Students [...]
I regret I didn’t live up to my word. I promised a blog post by 2010 and here I am, almost 3 days into January and just getting around to a hasty update. As I get used to my new planner, I am thinking about how fast the years have gone since 2000. I rang [...]
