Worship leader Chris Tomlin (And If Our God Is For Us…, Hello Love) knows much about the celebratory nature of worship in our daily lives. In an interview by Jen Abbas in 2003 for FamilyChristian.com, Tomlin was asked to give his definition of exactly what worship is:
“Everybody is created to worship. It’s created [...]
We look forward to our upcoming leader talk with Dan Webster. Here is a look at some of what we will be discussing.
College and professional athletes spend long hours dissecting opposing teams to increase their chances of winning. Smart business people will spend weeks investigating potential mergers to raise the probabilities of success in [...]
Community – Be Thankful for Your Shepherd
When you analyze shepherding in the traditional sense, you realize it was a pretty thankless job. The sheep were always in need of protection, food, water and direction and the shepherd was responsible for providing those necessities. The life of a shepherd wasn’t easy; often the nights were [...]
Jude isn’t a book of the Bible that makes my teaching schedule very often. Maybe it’s the esoteric references to the archangel Michael and his contention with the devil over Moses’ body (although I think my junior highers would love a message on that), or it could be the fact that in 25 short verses, [...]

This is the last article in a three-part series on integrity to God, your family, others, and yourself.
Has the culture influenced how we treat others and how we ourselves live? Has our instant society of fast food, megastores, and instant access to almost anything through the Internet changed how we treat others and how [...]
This is the second in a three-part series on integrity to God, your family, others, and with yourself.
“Stay alert. This is hazardous work I’m assigning you. You’re going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don’t call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as a dove” [...]
As we look at statistics, it becomes apparent that integrity isn’t valued in our society. We all nod our heads in agreement, but the problem isn’t just with those outside the church. George Barna reported in one study of churched youth—a majority whom said they had a personal relationship with Christ—that in the three months [...]
Years ago I was spending time with my good friend Dan Webster, discussing the topic of Integrity. He told the story of his experience once in a hotel room with a buddy at a conference. His friend was flipping through the TV channels and happened to pass by one with adult material. Dan asked his [...]
Thank you to all of you who decided to continue reading this entry on Integrity! I have just returned from a mission trip to inner city Hollywood. My students and I spent 3 days refurbishing the playground for a church/preschool. We rewarded the students with forays into the heart of Hollywood – walking the famous [...]
