Q&A – What is God’s relationship to time?
Answer: We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15). Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time?In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day ...
Michael Catt Interview (Creator of Facing The Giants and Fireproof)
Last week, I got an email from a literary agency asking me if I would be interested in interviewing Michael Catt. Many of you may not know who he is. He is the Senior Pastor at Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA and the creator of movies such as Facing The Giants, Fireproof and the newly announced production Courageous that will be hitting the big screen next year. God has moved in and through his church to be an encouragement to many, so I sat down with him today to discuss his role as a pastor, an author and ...
MIKESCHAIR Interview
As the world looks in on Christianity today, they are looking for honesty and for sincerity. Too often, what they have found is hypocrisy in those who profess to be followers of Christ. As a new generation of bands hits the forefront in Christianity today, we are seeing a transparency that has never been seen before. MIKESCHAIR is one band who is definitely not afraid to openly discuss who they are, hoping that in their journey with the Lord, others may relate and come to know Him as well. MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has ...
Father of the Decade
As I began to consider this concept, I thought it would be fairly easy. After all, how many fathers are there in the world? There must be many that stand out. How much news has been reported in the last ten years? There must be great fathers among the reports. Soon after beginning my research, I realized this was going to be a difficult, if not impossible, task. There are fathers in the news alright. Recently there was Dr. Umaru Abdulmutallab, the father of Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, otherwise known as the "underpants bomber", or the "undergarments bomber", or something like that. He is ...
Interview – Phil Wickham
A few weeks ago, I took a silent retreat into the North Carolina wilderness to get alone with God and to allow him to speak to my heart. I took a copy of 1 cd on my ipod, Heaven and Earth which is Phil Wickham’s latest album that releases on November 17. God spoke to me in many ways through scripture but He allowed Phil’s music to bring me to a point of true worship. I sat down with Phil this morning to talk a little bit about who he is, his career and what inspires his songwriting abilities. History Q- Give ...

Ministry Spotlight – Upper 90 Ministry
The way that Jesus reached people always took on a different form. For some, He reached them through healing. For others, He reached them through a parable that revolved around where they were in life. He told parables about fishing when He came into contact with fishermen. He told parables about various walks of life, hoping to tie in the lessons of God to something that they could understand. Upper 90 Ministry is seeking to do the same thing, using the most global sport in the world to open the door for the message of Jesus.

28. September 2009
As a preface to Church Music, it’s probably good to know that each member of the David Crowder Band gets a Programming credit in the liner notes. DCB has always dabbled in the electronic, usually with novelty blips and bleeps here and there, save for the Sunsets and Sushi EP, but [...]

20. September 2009
Eight years ago, September 11, 2001, America was attacked by Islamic terrorists. Shortly after, our nation went to war against those who perpetrated this evil. It has been a long and costly struggle. And today, as then, those of us who follow Jesus continually weigh that cost and wonder, “What is the Godly response to [...]

17. September 2009
Last blog, we talked about writing a quality cover letter, so we’re going to focus on resumes this week. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to be the most qualified candidate to get called for an interview. You simply have to make the strongest case for yourself, and nobody should be able to do that better than you! Just like your cover letter should make the employer eager to read your resume, your resume should make him eager to meet with you face-to-face. You accomplish this by selling yourself better than the other applicants. Think of it like this: people don’t spend $100 on Nike tennis shoes because they’re the best shoes in the world. They might or might not be; I really don’t know. People buy them because the advertisers sell them! So your resume is your advertisement. You’re the marketer and the product! That said, you should tailor your resume to suit the needs of your target market (the employer). In other words, you should have a standard resume that can be adjusted slightly depending on the position you’re seeking and the personality of the hiring person.

15. September 2009
I encourage you to take a few minutes and listen to David Robinson's Hall of Fame acceptance speech. He is a class act and in a time when "Thanking God" while being honered has become a watered down tradition, David takes praising God to a whole new level. I have looked up to him for his civil service and faith ever since I was a little boy and his willingness to praise God while on the highest public pedestal is a moment I will not forget.

14. September 2009
Training camp has come and gone and the pre-season of the NFL is in full swing. Press releases and news stories are one thing that is not slowing down one bit. Brett Favre has come out of retirement again to lead the Vikings in the NFC North which is a conference that he is no stranger to. Michael Vick is on his way back to the field as a remorseful man who knows he did wrong and currently takes responsibility for his actions as mentor, former Indianapolis Colts head coach, Tony Dungy continues to be a great accountability partner. Most men who know anything about football remember coach Dungy taking the Colts to the Super Bowl just a few years ago, but there was a special man on that team that was also mentored by Tony and then went to play for him in Indianapolis, Ben Utecht. Ben is a tight end who now wears a Cincinnati Bengals jersey but more importantly he is a man who is not afraid to take a stand for God on and off of the football field and has recently released his self titled CD entitled Ben Utecht. I had a chance to catch up with Ben one afternoon after a training session and he had great things to say.

3. September 2009
Mimo 710 I’ll be honest I bought this on a whim, but it’s not the first time I’ve thought “Wow, I wish I had a small 8″ monitor that was all USB powered”. I actually attempted to build one from an automotive LCD screen, but trying to get 12 volts from 5 volt USB doesn’t work. Ok, [...]
