The Devil and the Cross (Luke 22)

This year, the focus of my morning devotional readings have been on diving through the Gospels.  After my previous year of focusing on the Torah/Pentateuch (Genesis - Deuteronomy, but continuing on into the histories), this year has been rich to see afresh Jesus Christ, the God-Man that all of history points to, as the fulfillment of the Law and the final answer to the big questions of life, which I'm excited to see being asked in curious ways within our culture (even if some of the answers they are arriving at aren't on target) Who is God?   How can I know and be in harmony with Him?  These, if you think about it, are questions that we are all asking in one way, shape, or another... even if we don't use that language.  We know in our hearts that there is a divine being that is over the universe that created everything, we are not in harmony with Him, and yet our hearts deep desire and yearning is to be in harmony with Him, yet we don't know how... and so we gro...

I've had this on the brain for a while... I need a mental candy break though. For myself, or for any of my friends who are members of one of the NorthPoint Ministries campuses (that means Buckhead, Browns Bridge... you know who you are), there are (admit it) signs that you've been going to this church for way too long.  And now, like any person that needs to get out of their denial, I'm going to point out a few :-) Top Ten Signs You've Been at NorthPoint for Quite Some Time 1.) You commonly use any of the following words in your daily conversation: Margin Life-giving Give, Save, Spend Environment CG Big Idea Virtue Bottom Line Safe 2.) Something that Andy Stanley said in a sermon inevitably makes it into your Bible study discussion. 3.) You don't see anything wrong with wearing the same T-shirt every Sunday for 30 Sundays in a row (a shout out to all of us UpStreeters!), and in case you haven't washed "this year's" shirt, you have...

The B(C)S Strikes Again

-
I'm laughing, again.  Somehow, some big conference elites somewhere are trying to sell college football fans that the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) is a flawless way to determine who should play for a national college football championship.  Every year, the "system" flirts with controversy, and manages to bring up some really good points over the years.   One of the classic arguments that they like to bring up is... "Every game counts" Hmmmmm .... what about Texas 45, Oklahoma 35?   In the BCS standings now, guess who's #2?   OU ... who's #3?  t.u.  ....Every game counts, eh?   Apparently , "what have you done for me lately" and a bunch of computers spitting stats count a lot more now than the results on the field.... too funny.   In a twist of fate, the Big XII South, arguably the best division in college football, has a three way tie for first place with three teams at 7-1 (11-1 overall) and all ranked in the top 7 in the BCS standings.  ...
