I'm just sayin'...

Three ideas American Evangelicals need to consider:

1. God has not obligated Himself to the United States in Scripture. While there are principles that do apply to every nation, we must recognize that we cannot substitute our country into the promises for Israel in the Bible.

2. The New Testament Church did not view their primary mission to be to lead the charge to bring a resurgence in morality throughout the Roman Empire and the world. They recognized their primary mission was to "make disciples of all nations."

3. Doing God's work means more than just voting "right."

What are the implications for the the American church if these three statements are correct?

Spring Stampede Results

Thanks to everyone who prayed for us as we put on the first annual Spring Stampede Disc Golf Tournament. It went extremely well. We had over 50 participants, along with 15 folks from Travis who came to staff the event. Everything for the event flowed together in an organized way. More important than that was the reception we got from the participants. Everyone expressed their gratitude for our efforts to host the event, and they were quick to ask us if we would make this an annual event. Please pray for us as we now follow up with all those who came out for the tournament. Oh, and here are those pictures I promised.

Spring Stampede

Ok, here's the scoop on my absence. I've been preparing for one of the biggest outreach events our singles ministry has ever done. On Saturday, April 12 we will be hosting the first annual Spring Stampede Disc Golf Tournament. The idea is simple enough: We'll attempt to put on an outstanding event for our community to enjoy, demonstrate our church's love for the community, and pray that the Lord will pave the way for some divine conversations as a result.

We're doing everything that we can to make sure it's a great experience for everyone. We've got some great prizes (top prize is $250 to Best Buy!), great food (catered by Eddie Deen's BBQ), and some great tunes (provided by the PowerMobile from 89.7 PowerFM). Now we are just asking the Lord to bless our efforts and prepare those we'll serve. Since you've got some free time right now (as you most obviously do!) please pray for this event and the follow up in the days to come. I'll be posting some pics and telling the stories after the weekend. Thanks!
