Hati Update

It doesn't seem how insurmountable the tragedy so many of us get back to life as usual so quickly.  I find myself riding in that boat to, so that's not a judgmental statement– it's just the way it is.

Hati, an island nation so close, yet so far...

Well, enough of that, there is good news and miraculous events flowing out of one of the worst catastrophe's in a very long time.  As they continue to find people alive, there is a revival breaking out in this nation.  Even though many of the churches are gone, the people are crying out to God– and He is responding.

Where the land was filled with poorly constructed buildings, it's now being swallowed up by people who are coming from everywhere to cry out to the Lord...

There may not be any or much of a building left, but the people are gathering, the Pastors are preaching, and people are being saved!

Jesus is still Lord and people are experiencing the Lord in a powerful way!

A special thanks to all of you who responded to our plea for financial help, it is going to help immensely and is going directly to many points of need...God Bless all of you.

Let's all continue to pray and do what we can to keep helping.  I hope you have time to watch this incredible video before you jump off...






Love you,








UPDATE: Cornerstone helped Raise $1,900.00 for the Haiti Relief Effort!

Cornerstone Relief Efforts

The earthquake in Haiti has caused a global catastrophe and countless lives have been affected. This crisis must take priority in our lives, much like 9/11 did. We must put aside selfishness and pray for these devastated families. God has called us to come together in unity to intercede and show compassion. This is not only the heart of Cornerstone, but it is the heart of the Body of Christ. As the tragedy unfolds, we as believers must show our faces. This is a true focal point and we must stand as one in Christ--sending our love, prayers, and support to the people of Haiti.

Remember, God is good, even when we don't understand events in our lives that happen...

Love ya...

All Time Best Seller

As I am reflecting on this new and upcoming year I am thinking a lot about some changes I want to make in my life. Some of them I know that I will follow through with– others will probably just go by the wayside.

A few weeks ago I felt the Lord was really dealing with me about the time I was spending (or not spending) in His Word. I felt the challenge to read at least one scripture a day...remember, "Everyday, One Scripture". I have to say that this has already change me, and impacted my life.

Paul teaches us that Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. I must admit that I am starting to see God with a fresh perspective. Some of us who have been around a while could use it.

If we ever hope to have any real understanding of who God is and what His desires are for our lives, we need to realize that it will only come through whatever relationship you and I have with His word.

In the midst of all your resolutions for this new year, let's not forget to pick up the "All Time Best Seller!"

It will change your life...

The Lamp in My Life

Ok, there isn't a one of us on the planet who claim to know God who doesn't struggle with reading God's Word. If you, in fact, believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is the guidepost for our lives–then you know how important it is to read it.

Hence the struggle.

Who has the time to read this book? Who wants to read this book? Who gets anything out of this book? Can it really help that much? Does it really matter?

I am not sure about anything, except I do know that it matters. Oh yeah, it matters!

The psalmist said that first of it is a "lamp unto my feet", there is nothing that will locate you more quickly and honestly than the book called the Bible, God's Word.

Your friends can schmooze you, or you can schmooze yourself, but this book will light up your life, not to make you feel like a failure, but the reality is until you know where you are you will never know where to go. The rest of that verse is that it will also light up your path, that's a big help in our journey to live for God...

Enough preaching, if you want more of that then just visit the media page at iamcornerstone.com, but suffice it to say that we need to read this book...

How about this, "Everyday One Verse?" That's it. Nothing less. Everyday you read one verse. I am not kidding, take the challenge, there is no excuse, just one verse.

Let me know how it works out for you! Good luck, and I love ya...

Africa 2009

Just returned from a great ministry trip to Kenya, once the work was done we spent 3 days on the Masai Mara game reserve and saw some incredible animals...no hunting, but some great photo's...enjoy,

Talk is Cheap

I started this new series called the "Surrendered Life" I knew upfront that this would not be a series that people would stand up and readily embrace, maybe because of my own struggles with it...

Suffice it to say that we all have issues with this, even when it comes to God...no one really wants to embrace His will for their lives...oh I know we say we do, but when it comes to God, talk is cheap...

Listen to something Jesus said...

Matt 7:21 Mess

"Knowing the correct password ,
saying 'Master, Master,' for instance, isn't going to get you anywhere with me.
What is required is serious obedience —
doing what my Father wills."

It doesn't take us long and we learn the lingo. We know how to talk Christian, but do we really know how live our lives for Him? I want to explore this, so many people are just settling, giving up on any real commitment to the cause and the life that God wants them to live.

A lot of people live their lives doing
what they believe God wants them to do...the way they want to do it.

I don't want to live my whole life doing what I believe God wants me to do because I said 'No' to Him somewhere along the way. I'm tired of listening to peoples excuses on why they don't do whatever it is that God asks! Learning to surrender to God and His will for our lives is the smartest thing we can do – running our mouths with nothing to back it up is not.

How about over the next several weeks we learn how to do something new–
"Surrender to God."

More to come!

Love ya...
