Back in April, my wife and I were able to visit a good friend in Atlanta. We all went over to Piedmont Park where the Dogwood Festival was carrying on, and did a little open air preaching. Here is one of the videos from that day.

Calling or Career?
My wife and I watched Gary North's "Calling and Career as an Austrian School Scholar" tonight. I think everyone should watch it, especially some of my evangelist friends who may think that secular work is a waste of time. I used to think that all I wanted to do, or all that God wanted me to do was evangelize, but that isn't correct; there is calling and there is career. Some may have their calling as career, but in no way does it mean that career or "secular" work is somehow less spiritual. Check out the video:

Twitter Change; Worldview Change
Here's something I recently decided:
I've decided to use @seedshakers for all my tweeting going forward. I used to think the gospel was just for outreach. It's actually the light in which the Christian does life, which includes outreach. So, @seedshakers, life, my life that God is pursuing will be expressed. Controversial or not, topics of a variety will be discussed @seedshakers and of course here on this blog, no holds barred. Some might discover that I'm not much of a legalist. Everything under the sun is under God's sovereign Son, yes even my beloved arminians :) ; work, home, school, government, everything in light of the gospel.

Thankful for the Shade Tree
On my lunch break I ran (drove) over to the Walmart to purchase a keyboard and mouse. I had parked under a tree. Walmart was kind enough to plant trees in its parking lot and so I decided to take a short nap in my truck which was parked under the shade tree. Thank you Jesus for the shade tree. How often do we fail to thank Jesus for the small things we usually take for granted? Quite often.
The Law is Light
This past weekend my wife and I met up with some friends to do some evangelizing. At one point Saturday evening a man who professed Christ, had walked by and upon hearing the preaching he turned to some of us standing there and said, "Is this loving? Is this really benefitting anybody?" He thought that we should be loving people instead of, as he put it, "telling people they're going to hell." What this man failed to understand is that what we were doing, was loving. His failure to comprehend the message of the cross, that we broke the law and Jesus paid the fine, hindered him from recognizing the absolute necessity to preach on sin, righteousness, and judgment. How loving would it be if I see someone who is about to get mugged and I don't warn him or her of the criminal lurking around the corner?! Judgment awaits sinners, and we have the duty to reason with them about the impending judgment. God has given His law as a tool to do just that! The law is the standard by which Jesus will judge the world, and so it is the very thing we should use to persuade sinners to come to Christ. For without the law, there is no knowledge of sin. The law is light; exposing darkness and revealing depravity.

Restructuring the Site
I'm going to change the site up a little bit. Doing away with the Resources tab and entering all of the videos and audios into the blog as posts--making them searchable through the blog. This will clean the site up a little bit making it easier to navigate. We'll start with that for now, and see how it turns out.
