The Radical Reformission & Wild at Heart


So I finished my school reading last week and now I am reading two other really good books. I have really been wanting to read a book by Mark Driscoll for quite a while now and since I read something by Rob Bell I thought now is the time. Phil loves Mark Driscoll. I think he might love him in a pastoral your my hero kind of way. As I am reading this book I am finding out why. He really does have some great insight and so far the book is very inspiring. It is all about how we need to engage our culture with the timeless truth of the gospel. I couldn't agree more. I let you know more about the book when I finish it.



As for Wild at Heart this is one of my favorite books. I have read it a couple of times before but now me and Josh and Jake Franklin are reading it together and so that is cool. Maybe those guys will learn what it means to be a man. I wouldn't bet on it yet though. Especially that Josh guy. This should be fun.




So there you go, that is what I am reading.

Before You Say I Do

I thought this weekend was a blast. I hope you did too.

So we kicked-off the new series on Sunday. I am interested in hearing what y'all thought. I think we are going to have a lot of fun with this topic. I am about to read your surveys and I must admit I am very interested in what you wrote down.

Here are a few of my other thoughts about Sunday:

+ It was great to have Jason back. The band sounded better than they ever had before. I am already screaming encore. I love worshipping along with those guys.

+ The new look of the room makes me happy. I like it a lot...not as much as I love Krista but still a whole lot. I hope you like the room too. Smiles all around.

+ I think the series started off well. I enjoyed talking about it...a little too much because I went long again. I hope you hung in there with me. You have to give me a break though because I hadn't slept that weekend. Next week will be really good. Now that you know what the topic will be like you ought to invite your friends.

So those are my thoughts. I would love to hear yours.

See you all on Wednesday.
