I Warned You
Saturday, February 24th, 2007 At first I intended to call this post “I Told You So”, but I wanted to be nicer than that.
Five weeks ago, I made this comment during the Wednesday night Bible study: “I believe that one day, we will hear reports that some archeologist has supposedly found the tomb of Jesus with his body [...]
Straight And Narrow
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007 I’ll start with a conclusion. Liberal pastors in liberal churches love people more than they do Jesus. But that’s just part of it, here’s the other half— Fundamentalist Pastors in traditional churches love their church and it’s traditions more than they love people outside their church or Jesus.
From Scripture, we are instructed to love [...]
Blog Re-start
Monday, February 19th, 2007I have actually posted something new to the “PointWorks” blog, which is the original church blog and was used before the church had a website.

Here is the text of my prayer today:
Father God, we come before you to seek your grace, forgiveness, direction and guidance. [...]
Nobody’s Listening
Friday, February 9th, 2007It seems that a group from Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka Kansas had planned to trek to Bardstown Kentucky in order to protest at the funeral of ten family members that were tragically killed in a house fire there earlier this week. These bozos from this ‘church’ travel around the country protesting primarily at the [...]
Pleasure Principle
Thursday, February 8th, 2007Jesus was all about pleasing His Father, everything He did was out of obedience and love for His Father. At the beginning of His ministry, just after His baptism Jesus heard these words from His Father…“This is my Son, whom I love. With Him I am well pleased.”
Can you honestly say that pleasing God is [...]

Thursday, February 1st, 2007This is an email I received from John Reutener, who serves with Athletes In Action. John, Lisa and their family have attended The Point from time to time when they are in town visiting Lisa’s family. The Point Community Church is beginning to partner with John and AIA through financial support, we hope to send people along with John [...]
