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 ...
We Need More Prophets Like David Robinson
Let me start off by saying that preaching is my favorite passion; it is what I was born to do. I never conjured this idea up to be a preacher one day and I certainly do not have the mere talents to know how to preach effectively...so God stepped in long ago and worked all of that out. When I preach, he preaches...through me...every time. There is no question that transformational preaching is a work of the Holy Spirit. That's why, when I see others speak, preach, share, teach, encourage, I sense the overwhelming power potential in words.

29. September 2009
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.

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.

22. May 2008
I am not good at golf. It is a wonderful and frustrating activity. The more I play, the more I realize that golf is a sport that you can never master - no matter how much you practice. But it is a game that offers moments when it’s possible to trick yourself into thinking you’re starting to figure things out, although you’re sure to do something (hit a shot into the woods, water or sand) and realize you have no idea what you’re doing just a few moments later. I’m convinced that I could play golf every day for the rest of my life and still be a terrible golfer. I’d still get frustrated and I’d still hit plenty of bad shots that make me want to yell bad words loudly. But I’d probably hit at least one “perfect shot” each round that would make it all worth it and keep me coming back to play again, not quite ready to give up the idea that I’d figure it out and finally be good.
