Our local newspaper had a short article about Cornerstone in today’s paper. I think the article does a decent job of showing how we want to reach out to our community. We want to avoid just trying to create services for the community. I think that just increases the consumerism of the people we are trying to reach. We have

The Gospel Herald reminds of how important our role is as youth workers in the church. Here’s a clip: The president of the largest U.S. evangelical body opened up a U.S-focused annual mission conference by emphasizing that youth ministry is the most important factor in changing the culture.NAE President Emphasizes Need for Change in Rising Generation Ted Haggard, president of

I saw this on the news today. While it doesn’t surprise me, it still shocks me. This is all the more reason that the both the family and the church need to be involved in the lives of our teens.

I read an interesting article over at Evotional. Mark Batterson is pastor of National Community Church in DC. He has some challenging thoughts from his new book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. Check out his comments below. Are you holding back chasing a lion in your life? At the end of your ministry, you won’t

Catalyst is going on this weekend. They had a guest appearance by Jeff Foxworthy, below is a blog wrap-up of the first day. Today was the conference’s first full day, and in addition to a solid lineup of speakers (Andy Stanley, Marcus Buckingham, George Barna, John Maxwell, and Gary Haugen), the hit of the day, at least for me since

Just saw this over at Josh Griffin’s Blog. The scary thing is I can relate to this guy! White and Nerdy.

This past Sunday I had one of the greatest honors and privileges that a Dad could have. I baptized my two older children, Emma and Luke, at the first Cornerstone church service held on our new land. It was truly a special day for our family. I am one proud daddy! We had incredible weather. The sun was out, the

I pulled out of my garage this morning and saw white plastic forks sticking out of the ground every few feet in my front yard. Somebody took some serious time sticking forks in the ground. I must say that in a weird sort of way that it is cool that someone took that much time. I wanted to get a

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. I’ve been swamped at work and busy every night. I was reading a familiar passage last night in Jeremiah 18 about how God is the potter and we are the clay. I just stopped and reflected on it a while. Am I being “moldable” right now? Am I letting God shape me and
