A29 Pastor's Retreat

I can't say enough good about our retreat in Vail. The accommodations were superb, the time spent with brothers "in arms" was unbelievably uplifting, and since Shannon and Evangeline came, I got to spend time with my girls.

Probably the biggest lessons I'm taking away from the retreat (though there are too many to recount), are two. They came from Mark Driscoll's talk with us this morning.

1. Bitch less and pray more
2. Be careful who you're shooting at

Is John 8 part of John's Gospel?

In three weeks, after the move into our new building, I will be preaching in the first story of John 8.

Much debate surrounds the inclusion of this text in the English Bible. In the coming days, I will post some thoughts on how we should approach the passage.
