Prayer, Don’t You DARE…

Don’t you dare tell someone that you will pray for them, unless you really are going to.prayer

I mean it.

Too many of us have cheapened prayer down to something we just throw around and say we’ll do. Then we don’t.

You have two options:

1. Don’t tell them you’ll pray for them if you know you won’t.

2. Tell them you’ll pray for them and then DO.

Jacked About…

I’m totally jacked and cannot go to sleep because of two things:

First, our Current Leadership meeting that is in 8 hours.

Second, this Sunday. I am preaching. I haven’t preached in two months. Here is what my buddy Loui Canchola said:

louisays

He’s right. Well, you don’t need to watch out. But you need to know this: I am pumped. I literally cannot sleep. I just went downstairs and preached the sermon as practice again.

Connection Church, let me just say this: get your lost friends to church this Sunday. I know its the end of spring break and you are tired, but be there.

You have been praying for the names that you wrote on the God’s Most Wanted list.

Now, you need to invite them. You have all day today. Do whatever it takes.

See you Sunday…

Superbowl Sunday Mind Dump

  • Today was an AMAZING start to a NEW SERIES at THE CONNECTION CHURCH. We kicked of a 4 week series called Rock of Love. Its all about relationships and marriage.
  • Today, we saw record attendance. We didn’t mail out a card or hand out postcards. We didn’t launch a special website. But, we did do everything we could (on the zero budget we had) to empower people to invite their friends…and they did. Connection Church…YOU ROCK.
  • LET’S DO IT AGAIN THIS SUNDAY!
  • Cole’s message was awesome today. I personally know of one couple who has been living together (not married) that the message today touched deeply. I’m pretty sure they’ll get hitched soon.
  • Micah and the band did a slamming job with the music today!
  • The PAC was PACKED OUT today. Awesome!
  • The huge crowd caused big space issues in Tiny Town. A great problem to have and one that we’ll jump on this week. You can help us jump on it by attending the EARLY SERVICE each week until we say otherwise. THAT is a super easy way to help us reach people!
  • The Superbowl actually turned out to be a great game. I would have loved to see the Cardinals win (so Jerheme Urban could have a ring; he played with my bro in college) but at least three former Longhorns are taking home rings with the Steelers!
  • I still maintain that the Horns should play in the Superbowl every year.
  • Looking for a cheap, used trampoline for Couper. The kid loves to jump…anyone got one?
  • Amber found me a FREE ENGLISH BULLDOG PUPPY today…I want one bad. But, we have two dogs and no room for another. If I could have one, I would name him something cool like Blaster, Ritz, Craps, or Gambler.
  • Starting a new marathon training program this week to get me ready for the Texas Cowtown Marathon!

Saturday Night Shots

  • PUMPED about our new message series that starts tomorrow, ROCK OF LOVE!
  • PUMPED about running with my Dad again on Feb. 28th in the Texas Cowtown Marathon. Funny, I remember how much I used to fret about a long race…now its kind of just another day.
  • PUMPED that Nic got his hot tub up and running today. Ummmm…they are going to have to just go ahead and give me a key…it will be easier than me calling and begging ever other day or so. :)
  • PUMPED that I got to chill with my family all day. Awesome! Sometimes, doing nothing feels good. That is something pretty off the wall and crazy for me to say…
  • 100% CONVINCED that if everyone in the U.S. understood this and did something about it, the world could change, forever.
  • SAD that some of the “Church growth haters” out there on the web don’t understand that LOVE is all that really matters. It baffles me. Why can’t we just love people? What’s wrong with loving people?
  • WONDERING what it must feel like to have no guts. Love how these critics that are out there on the web use random names on comment sections of blogs and fake emails. They are cowards, hiding behind keyboards. CRUD! ZAK, LOVE…remember…LOVE!
  • NOT PUMPED that our Executive Administrator, Kristi West, crushed me today by sharing the official U.S. flag code with me…it appears that Texas doesn’t have any special flag privileges after all. That does not change the fact that TEXAS is the greatest state in this Nation!
  • NOT PUMPED that I didn’t get to go shoot stuff today. You can’t buy 9MM ammo around here anywhere. Thanks for nothing all you “scared that Obama will take our guns away” psychos. :)
