Ever met those people? You know the ones who come off as overly confident when they ought [...]

5 Comments » November 11th, 2010 alandanielson God does His greatest work when we are in the “meantime”. We love to hear the highlights when listening to a story, but we don’t get too excited about the stuff in between. Star Wars is full of action, but the hero, Luke Skywaker, was trained in about 15 minutes of screen time. Neo, [...]

My Senior Pastor, Craig Groeschel, said something profound when he was talking to a campus pastor about character. He said, “It’s the things no one sees that result in what everyone wants”. The bottom [...]

Some people agreed whole heartedly with my thoughts and others didn’t. That’s a good thing because the world would be terribly boring if everyone agreed with me about everything. One person [...]
October 21st, 2010 alandanielson People in church like to sound spiritual by saying, “I want to go deeper”. To me, this is the most over used and often overrated comment people make in church. Why do I say this? Because, more often than not, it means “Bible Study” and it reflects a person’s desire to be thought of as [...]
October 11th, 2010 alandanielson I’ve been reading through 2 Chronicles in The Message lately and I’m blown away by the kings of Judah. Over and over again we read of ungodly kings who lead the people astray and then about godly kings who point the people back to God. It’s a roller-coaster-of-a-story. When godly kings rule, things are better [...]

Reposted 09-16-2010. ———————————————————————- My TV has this great feature: when I press the mute button closed captioning automatically turns on. It’s great! When I can’t hear the TV, I can at least still see what’s being said. We’ve all heard that God speaks through His Word, His Spirit, Others, and our Experiences. [...]
September 9th, 2010 alandanielson Last weekend at LifeChurch.tv Craig Groeschel delivered a powerful message about adultery. Here’s the link for those of you who haven’t yet seen it. Anyway, it made me think about the sad stories I’ve encountered about small group members having affairs with each other. It doesn’t surprise me that people within small groups might find [...]

It’s not so much fun to read when I’m the one needing the help. I have to confess, I have [...]
July 21st, 2010 alandanielson In one of my more embarrassing moments at LifeChurch.tv I was asked to play the part of a game show host for a message series about the will of God. It’s interesting that I was chosen for the part, because I always believed with absolute certainty that my being a LifeChurch.tv was God’s will. There [...]
