one of the questions asked was "What cumbersome sin did Christ die to redeem your from" (paraphrase). Jim does a great job teaching - and the answers that came back were - well, big sins. Not specficically, but I think the majority of folks were thinking about sin in their life that is constantly haunting them, partly due to the size or impact of the sin on their walk, and their guilt.How about the little stuff? I think, especially in a grace-centered culture, in our paradigm of repenting, believing, and fighting, that the most cumbersome sins maybe those that AREN'T…

I've been thinking about Evan Almighty - we had a chance to see it on Friday. It got horrible reviews - either because the critics didn't like Steve Carell, or because they weren't wanting something that you could take your kids to. But I think they did a great job. Granted there's some theological issues, God promised to not destroy the earth with another flood, etc. BUT, the thing that was great about the production was the fact that Evan was seen as crazy. He was asked by God to do something that was "so great it was doomed to…

It's good. I think the critics weren't looking for something wholesome enough to take a 6-year-old to, but I think we'll be taking ours to see it. I'd like to hope that Steve Carell is a believer. I would imagine it'd be tough to make a movie like that - illustrating faith, without having that faith.

Florida doesn't have a motorcycle helmet law, but does have a seatbelt law. That's funny.And do riders that take their helmets off in "no-law" states, think that particular state has altered the laws of physics?

Why is it that we run to the cross for our salvation, and run to pull up our boots for our sanctification. The Christian walk is changed, strengthened, and sanctified by the same Power that saves us.This is from Spurgeon's Morning and Evening - for Monday morning, April 23rd. Check it out. When someone asks you what is means to be saved and SANCTIFIED by grace - show them this:Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.We go to Christ for forgiveness, and then too often look to the law for…

We tried out some new kick drum mics this week. We tested the Shure Beta 91 and the Audio Technica AE2500DE. The AT mic is a dual element mic, so more engineering would have to take place. It takes up two channels, and it has quite a bit of hype driving it in the audio world right now. One element picks up the "whoomf" of the kick, the other element (dynamic) picks up the attack of the beater. They are in perfect phase with each other, and, in theory, shouldn't need that much work to get the right sound.We placed…
