Go Vols!

Though I could write for days and days on the University of Tennessee Volunteers, that’s not what this post is about.

I’m writing this post to thank the great volunteers that we have at Grace Community Church.

You see, each and every week, we have to set up and tear down our entire audio equipment.  And video equipment.  The entire stage.  And preschool areas.  And preschool stage.  And their computer check-in stations…which so often don’t work.  And children’s areas.  And their stage.  And their audio.  And their video.  And their computer check-in stations…which so often don’t work.  The hallway, with the banners and the tables and the countless handout cards.  The coffee.  The welcome areas.  Volunteer central.  Information central.

We couldn’t do what we do without our amazing volunteers.

 

Sam Bradford & Colt McCoy Are Second

Never heard of Sam or Colt?

Sam Bradford, quarterback at the University of Oklahoma, was the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy.

Colt McCoy was the quarterback at the University of Texas, 2008 Heisman Trophy runner-up, and led his team to the National Championship game in the 2009 season.

I won’t get into who your favorite college football team is…or your favorite conference.  Because I don’t care if you’re a Pac-10 guy, an Ohio State fan, or a Vol through and through…you have to respect the skill of Sam and Colt.  They’ve got some unbelievable talent.

But neither of these guys got caught up in the hype.  They have committed their lives, first and foremost, to following Jesus Christ…not to their respective college teams, not to their future NFL teams, and not to their continual improvement as athletes.

They have voluntarily placed themselves second.

To see more “I Am Second” videos, here’s the SITE.

What if the Church worked together instead of apart?

I’m all about the lone rebel who wins the war by himself. But our efforts combined are much more effective than our efforts alone.

Alone, we seem weird.

Together, others want to join in.

 

Did God Do That?

Exodus 20:7 (the 3rd commandment), says,

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

I’ve seen some people use God’s name in vain by saying that God has “called” them to do this…or say that…or go there.  Ever heard somebody say, “I know I’m supposed to do this, because God has told me to…” and the whole time thought, “There is absolutely no way God has told him/her to do that!”

I believe that God does still speak today.  Let me be clear with that.

But we can easily manipulate others, and misuse God’s name, when we attribute things to Him that He would not/could not condone.  Often, I believe, when this methodology is employed, it’s a cop-out.  It’s a misguided way of justifying sinful, self-seeking endeavors.

In order to know God’s will, we must start by knowing God.  Loving Him.  And loving what He loves.

Check out this video.  I find it funny that Anderson Cooper is disgusted over Heidi Montag’s thanking of God for this performance.  My favorite quote from this video: “If God has the time to work on this production, and that’s the best that God can do, we’re all in trouble.” (Anderson Cooper)

 

Our crazy staff

Building team camaraderie is important.

Laughing together as a team is essential.

Building unity is an undeniable advantage.

Doing stupid videos for Remix…probably not a must, but at least we made fools of ourselves!

Do you need a Sin Cage 2009?

 

Fantasy Football

I love this video.  Do you play fantasy football?  If not, you should play against me this season…you’re guaranteed a win!

Do you think this video has been doctored?

 

A Waste of 3:41

So, I just wasted 3 minutes, 41 seconds of my life, and thought I’d share with you how I did that.  This video’s really cool, and if I was still in college, this is something that I would have been a part of.  Only watch this video right now if you’ve got lots of other, important work to do.

I’m afraid that the guys who shot this video wasted much more than 3 minutes, 41 seconds.

 

John Piper and Michael Jackson?

One of my heroes in preaching is John Piper, a pastor in Minnesota.  I laughed when I saw this video.  Enjoy!

 

Greatest Motivational Speech Ever?

Is this the greatest motivational speech ever?  You decide.  I call it the “ADD Motivational Speech.”

 

Obama and the 57 states of America

Enjoy a little humor tonight
