Book Review: William Booth
I just finished reading William Booth: Soup, Soap, and Salvation by Janet & Geoff Benge. It's part of the Christian Heroes: Then & Now book series. William Booth was the founder of the Salvation Army, and I was very much looking forward to reading this book about his life and ministry. The read was quick and easy and it's a book that older children and youth will enjoy as I did. I most appreciated reading of Booth's holistic approach to ministry. In the beginning of his ministry he was only concerned about the soul. But as he began to get more in touch with the compassion of Christ he began to recognize the need to minister to the entire person - something I have been meditating on much of late.
Gearing Up for Small Groups
Tonight I had about 20 of our student and adult small group leaders over to my house gearing up for our Spring Small Groups which kick off next Sunday night, January 25th. During February and March we will be doing a series called Love Out Loud, and in April and May we will be doing a series called Live Pure. It's going to be great!

Centerreach High School Bible Club
Today I had the privilege of speaking at the Centerreach High School Bible Club. Here are some questions we thought through together:
When you think about the things that characterized the life of Jesus, what kinds of things come to mind?
What would you school look like if people lived out the teachings and followed the example of Jesus?
Where do you see Jesus in your school?
How can you serve Jesus in your school this year?
Scriptures we looked at together that related to the above questions:
Matthew 25:31-46
Matthew 22:34-40
I John 4:7-8, 20-21

Cardinals quarterback goes out of his way to credit God
"If you ever really want to do a story about who I am, God's got to be at the center of it. Every time I hear a piece or read a story that doesn't have that, they're missing the whole lesson of who I am." - Kurt Warner

Last Setup Pics
Here are a few more pics of our setup. The band arrived a while ago and is currently doing their sound check. A few weeks ago they received a Grammy nomination for Best Christian Rock Album. They're really great and they love Jesus! Two more hours and we'll be rockin' out with 500 students and seeking Jesus together to understand His desire for us to REACH out and touch the world with His love!
