Intercessory Worship Part 2
My Journey into Intercessory Worship “Heights of Delight“, written by Dick Eastman, was recommended to me by a friend the first time I went to Israel. He simply said it would make sense once I got there. He was partially right; it made sense once I got back and had time to digest it. A … Continue reading
Intercessory Worship Part 2 Coming Soon!
People have asked when I was continuing the series on Intercessory Worship and I keep responding soon. I’m getting my ducks in a row so that it’s possible for everyone to follow my train of thought; it isn’t always easy to do that. The reason for doing this series can be found in my last … Continue reading
Revivals, Pastors and Discernment
I want to take a detour and look at something that has been in the news lately; something that has plagued the cause of Christ since the beginning of time.

And we will look at the difference between prayer, worship, intercessory prayer and intercessory worship. I look forward to your comments on how God … Continue reading
My Latest Thoughts
After writing that blog yesterday I listened to a podcast from Catalyst featuring Perry Noble and he talked about his start in Anderson, SC. He said that Anderson had a church and a tree on every corner. Then last night someone I trust very much said that we, West Columbia, don’t need another church. I … Continue reading
Thoughts on Corporate Worship (Traditional vs Contemporary)
Lately God has been dealing with me about Worship (and in this blog I mean specifically corporate music and prayer styles in a service). Southern Gospel. Traditional. Gospel. Cutting Edge. Emergent. Contemporary. High Church. In his blog, Ryan Bolger said, “I remarked recently that I had attended a near lifeless traditional church. More recently, I … Continue reading
