Rivalry

The day has finally arrived! It is THE greatest rivalry in all of sports. It is the OHIO STATE vs. michigan football game. Even though there isn't a National Championship or Rose Bowl on the line, there is the PRIDE of this game. What happens on that field tomorrow will echo through the halls of eternity. It will be an epic battle of foes......OK...I'm done goodnight. GO BUCKS! O..H..

vision

Vision does one of 2 things, it either grows or it dies. What is your vision? What picture of a better future do you see in your mind? Is it growing...or is it dying? What are you going to do about it?

C 3 Ring Circus

I think the title says it all. There is so much change with our new addition being built, old classrooms being demolished, new structure being implemented and new vision being discussed, that at times it can be overwhelmingly crazy. My new philosophy is, if things are too comfortable or normal....we must not be pushing it enough. Of course the flip side of that statement is also true, "how long can we sustain this pace?" It's a fine line......the "red line"..ha.

LifeChange never gets old

I love hearing stories of people's lives being changed by the power of God. Truly it never gets old. I tell people all the time, if lives are NOT being changed by Jesus Christ at C3, then just shut the doors because we have become a "club." If we say that "LifeChange" is our vision, then we need to have a scoreboard to see how we are doing. It must be the driving focus for EVERYTHING we do and for where our time, energy and money is spent.

C3's 1st Missionary

Becky Medina has now become C3's first missionary! BeckE was on staff with us for a year and a half and is loved by everyone. She arrived in Jamaica today to work in the orphanage that we took our church missions trip to last year. We fell in love with the children and the people. They love BeckE there and she will do amazing. Watching BeckE on the missions field is like watching a fish swim in water. It is what God has designed her to do. We love you BeckE and we are all praying for you!

sectional meeting

I'm excited about our section pastors meeting tomorrow. I've asked 3 of my non-Assemblies of God pastors to sit on a panel and share from their experiences. All of these guys are pastoring growing churches in the Columbus area. They are great guys with a "Kingdom" mentality. I'm excited about the discussion and praying our pastors and leaders are able to glean from them.

Sunday off

Today, Brent Salyers spoke at C3 and therefore gave me the Sunday off. I jumped in the car with a couple of guys and ran to see a video campus church in Millersburg Oh. newpointe.org They did a great job with everything. A special shout out to campus pastor and friend Bill Anderson, who allowed us to take him to lunch and pick his brain. Praying about possibilities for C3, as we do our best to make a "DENT" in Columbus for the name of Jesus!
