Solid Rock or Stumbling Block
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:24+00:00Have you ever said something in your passion that just totally came out wrong? In your head the thought felt supportive and brilliant but somehow when it was released into the world it was completely different. I bet that’s how Peter felt in Matthew 16:22 when he said, “never Lord! This shall never happen to [...]

This Famous Artist Was Willing To Play For An Audience Of One
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:26+00:00On November 23rd 2014 Fredrik Wikingsson walked into the Philadelphia Academy of music and took a seat in the second row. As the lights in the theater dimmed his calves pulsed up and down pushing his heels off of the carpet adding a bounce to his knees. He was still wondering if he was part [...]

The Nots At The End Of Our Rope: #4 Not Now
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:28+00:00I’m going to confess something to you that I don’t like about myself. I have a tendency to put things off. I’m not sure if it’s a power struggle or a laziness issue but if someone asks or tells me that they need something I almost always say, “O.k. I can get that to [...]

The Nots At The End Of Our Rope: #3 Not Me
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:30+00:00“One, two, three, Not It!” That’s how we settled things on the playground. If we needed to decide who would push the merry go round or the swing or any other undesirable servant task we played, “not it.” The last one to say, “not it” was, indeed, incorrect. There was always an awkward pause as [...]

The Nots At The End Of Our Rope: #2 Not Qualified
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:32+00:00Not qualified This is the second, “not” many of us cling to that keeps us from becoming who we are created to be. We read in 2 Timothy 1:7 “You see, God did not give us a cowardly spirit but a powerful, loving, and disciplined spirit.” Unfortunately we rarely believe Paul’s words. Sure, sometimes [...]

Paul Bennett2016-08-19T19:00:47+00:00Here’s why you and your children may be leaving church feeling unconnected to God. There are several things I could’ve chosen to identify (The service was actually subpar, You’re suffering and its taking every ounce of faith you’ve got just to show up, You’re at church to earn heaven, You came in with an agenda, [...]

The Nots At The End Of Our Rope
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:33+00:00Puns are considered the lowest form of humor. You may call me a Cretan but I like them. They make me laugh. They make me groan. Sometimes they make a point. If you ride the waves of the Internet you’ll find that Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Roosevelt, Benjamin Franklin, and even Abraham Lincoln [...]

Why Taking Your Child’s Phone May Be One Of The Best Things You Ever Do
Paul Bennett2019-10-10T13:55:35+00:00My son had his phone taken away for the last four weeks and it was awesome! I won't get into the details of why we took the phone. We all parent differently and the reason has nothing to do with this post. If you know him, please don't ask him about it or mention it. [...]
