New Worship Style at True North!!!
Hey guys!!
We’re thinking of adopting a new worship style at True North that looks something like this.
Let us know what you think ok?
So I was strolling through Times Square not too long ago when I happened across the Times Square Visitor Center. My initial though was that this might be a good place to encounter a less-than-repulsive bathroom to use. And I was correct. But there was also a LOT more to check out.
Hey gang, Having a bit of a crazy week so I don't have too much time to post. But this past Saturday was probably my favorite day of the year so far. We baptized 49 people in the waters of the Long Island Sound. 49 people who are finding their role in God's amazing story and taking that next step in their faith: publicly declaring to the world that they belong to Christ and they don't care who knows it!! Honestly. This moves me in ways I can't even bring words to. Seeing lives change... it's... it's ...
Here's a little devotional thought that seems to go hand-in-hand with what I wrote a couple weeks ago about having deep roots. This dramatic photo is not airbrushed or photo-shopped. It's a real sinkhole that opened up in Guatemala after after tropical storm 'Agatha' and the image was published by both National Geographic and the BBC. Amazing, no? And absolutely terrifying. The idea that a hole that big could open up right under your feet... man. It's chilling. Cars? Houses? People? Sinkholes can swallow them all. This one ate a three story building.
I was passing by a tree in my neighborhood recently, which had blown down in a windstorm. You know, one of those once-a-year storms that comes out of nowhere with some serious velocity. This tree looked like it had been around a while. Not a California redwood by any stretch, but no sapling either. Old enough to have weathered dozens of years and hundreds of storms would be my estimate. But not on this particular day. On this particular day, at this particular moment, the wind was too much for it and it toppled, exposing its root bundle and now ...

My wife and I had a pretty rough Monday. All in all it had been a good weekend.
I was in Miami. A friend of mine who is also a pastor and church planter there was in Taiwan with his wife adopting their second child. He called a few weeks ago and asked if I might be able to come down and preach for him. I happened to have the week off this past Sunday as Tom was scheduled to open the ‘Without Ceasing’ series at True North.
I had a great time with the people at The Pursuit Christian Church, Miami, ate some great Cuban food and had an overall enjoyable weekend. Right up until I went to leave for the airport Monday morning. I had parked my rental car in the parking garage attached to the hotel, so I felt like it would be pretty safe. Sadly, this was not the case. I found the car with it’s passenger window smashed and my GPS unit and iPod gone. This, by the way, was the second iPod I’ve had stolen from me in a month!! Read More…
So last week some of our team took a trip to the Drive Conference at North Point Community Church, in Alpharetta, Ga.
It was amazing. These guys have seriously been working on their kung-fu.
And one of the amazing skills they have mastered is the art of the self-depracating parody. Do you know a young, growing church who’s taking themselves too seriously? Show ‘em this!!
Enjoy. And leave me some feedback in the comments section. Upper right corner of the post, peeps.
I know some of you True North-ers are going to be LOVING this.

Been doing some thinking about the current season of my life, and it sometimes just blows my mind how fast time is passing.
Maybe you’ve had some thoughts lately that go like this: “Man, I can’t believe ____________ !” As in, “I can’t believe True North is 4 1/2 years old already!!” Or “I can’t believe summer’s almost here!” Lately, I’ve been having a LOT of those. I can’t believe how old my kids are getting. I can’t believe how fast things are moving with the church. I can’t believe how much amazing stuff I’ve been able to see and do and be a part of in the last few years.
