This September, Help 1 Million People Get Clean Water

September 08, 2009


CharityWater.org is a great organization! They've worked on over 1,200 wells since they began, 3 years ago. 100% of your donation goes to building wells (private donors cover their overhead and administrative costs) - and they're making a huge difference. Help them reach the 1 Million mark this September!

How Should the Church use Money?

September 04, 2009


Some outsiders see the Church as being all about money. It's not hard to understand why when we build multi-million dollar buildings and have multi-million dollar budgets - not that these are wrong, but it's a lot of money we need to be good stewards of.

What does it mean to be a good steward of God's money? What do we spend it on?

Cornerstone Simi has felt convicted to give 50% of their money away to help those in need. What does Jesus want you to do with your money?

Several churches now spend lots of money on cool printed materials, musicians, smart lights & production - to get outsiders to come to church. What if we gave-away money to help the poor - would that also get outsiders to come to church?

quick update from D.C. ...


It's 2:30am.  I'm exhausted.  I started to upload videos from today and realized that any work I did at this point would involve deep yawns amidst tired cross-eyed tears...it's time for bed.  Today was an amazing day connecting with some of the most infuential African-American church leaders in D.C. and surrounding areas.  These guys have a voice that you need to hear, and I will have a couple of videos posted soon.

Justin and I took the night to enjoy some great food at Lauriol Plaza before checking out the Jefferson Memorial & the FDR Memorial...this city continues to amaze me.  Stay tuned for more updates and videos you will not want to miss...soon.

Good night from our nation's capitol.
