‘IMPRESS THE LADS WITH YOUR WORLD CUP KNOWLEDGE.’
I can’t retain football information, or (this is hard to say, I feel less than a man now) any sporting trivia. But I’m pretty good on capital cities and films.
Soil test

J John on the future
My friend J. John was asked by Charisma Magazine in the USA to respond to the question:What will life be like for the church in 2020?
More blessed to give than receive
They were sexually pure but promiscuous in generosity! They lived like that because they had their eyes on another destination.
Resident Evil
It’s a strong word isn’t it? Evil. Some will read this post and say, “Speak for yourself, I’m a good person.”
From Trash to Treasure
I happened upon a link today from Fast Company’s twitter feed which is well worth a read, about three ways to make gold out of garbage. I was particularly grabbed by the third way. It’s all about someone seeing ‘worthless junk’ and reimagining it – better. Follow the link to Matt Brown’s own page and he tells us how he saw these old plastic horses in a junk store bargain bucket, repackaged and rebranded them as “Night Horses” – like, ‘Nugget the life liver,” and “Sotirius, the silent Duke.” I love it! It’s just like what God does with us! This designer says he gives the objects a story of significance again. It’s part of a project called Significant Objects.

HEART FOR HAITI
Just watched the full video I made from our recent mercy mission into Haiti with our Grow Group. Some snippets are on here.

Barry Kissell – God’s answer to the culture.
Barry Kissell at the Evangelists Conference.
