How did a suburban, 27 year old, Charlotte, NC preacher become a bigger Technorati celeb than Paris Hilton and Antonella Barba without even taking his clothes off?
Did Jesus make him number one?

It was wrong and I knew it.
See, I have a strict policy about not reading the negative critical emails that come in around here.
“How many negative critical emails do you get?”

Maybe the best part of [...]
And almost every mega church was po dunk. Once upon a time.
This thought hit the spot for me yesterday. I was fortunate enough to spend a few hours with my good friend Shawn, and my new friends Geoff and Pastor Greg at Seacoast Church.
What great guys. What a great church. They now have 158,329 campuses [...]
