I am Barabbas

Let me start off by saying that I love Mark Batterson. I just finished reading his book, Wild Goose Chase and I'm still chewing on some of the things that were in that book.

But the reason for this post is to talk about something he said on his blog: I am Barabbas. You remember Barabbas as the man who was traded for Jesus. Click the link above to read Mark's thoughts, and remember that Jesus took our place.

Guitar Hero Ministry Mentality

This post from Steve Furtick is so good that I've shared it with all my youth leaders, and even mentioned it in my sermon on Wednesday night. Here's an excerpt:

Everybody wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords.

The rest is just as good, click over here to read it.
