Life Suckers. Couldn’t they be considered demons?
What sucks the life out of you?
Sunday, at the 10 am service, the worship team sang "The Devil Inside."
Believe it or not, we all have a bit of "the devil inside."
So often, we think of “demons (or the devil)” as little red figures that ...
You’ve Made an Impact!
West is a missional church.
We don't just "say" it.
We mean it.
It drives what we do on a day-to-day basis and also our long-term goals.
Before you read the impact YOU make, we NEED three minutes of your time to take the following survey. ...
Guilt Trips
Guilt Trips
What do you immediately think of when you read the words “guilt trip”?
Seriously . . . I want you to think about it for a second . . . .
(Thus the white space)
Ok.
Did any of these come to ...
How much should we rely on opinion polls?
Opinion Polls
Have you ever been trying to decide about something, and in doing so you find yourself taking opinion polls? Rather than make the decision in a vacuum, you realize that another input is needed. So you ask different people the ...
RR and ROI

This ultimately ...
We show up for what we are committed to! What do that look like for you?
Honestly, we show up for what we are committed to.
Last Sunday, I was driving home around 1:30 pm.
I drive by 2 churches on my way home, and frankly, there’s been more than one occasion I have had “church envy.” Parking lot w/ lots of cars ...
Is Procrastinating Really a “temptation?” Even though we don’t like to admit it, it is.
Is procrastinating really a "temptation?"
We typically think of "bad" things when we think of temptations. (Like the ones listed in yesterday's meditation).
But what if temptations actually plague us more than we know?
When Barna Group ...
The more serious the temptation…. the less we admit to it.
The more serious the temptation, the less we admit to it.
Ten years ago, Barna released a survey exploring the new realm of temptations. Sure, that loaf of bread we want or the dessert we gave up for Lent still calls our name, but temptations ...
It was the best of times . . .
Remember that quote from A Tale of Two Cities?
(Actually, I didn’t. I had no clue where it came from; I’ve just always heard ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.’)
And I’ve always known that to be true.
Have you ever ...
Managing Your Junk
Do you ever have a tendency to lose things?
You know you "once had it" but you haven't seen it in quite some time, so it's easier to consider it lost than to go digging around for it.
Especially if the places we need to go digging ...
Leave it!
Tom and I recently adopted a dog named Mitzi from the Humane Society.
We’ve known we wanted a German Shepherd dog friend for Axel for a while, but a puppy was not on our radar.
