Response

What I am always excited to see is people responding to God. (Hey, I am excited when I get my act together and respond to God :). In the last few weeks the number of people at Timberlake who have stepped up to accept Christ, serve, give, be baptized and respond to God in dozens [...]

Weekend Reflections

Last weekend Rocked at Timberlake! We had a ton of folks show up (our second biggest attendance ever) and got to witness some amazing stories of life change.

Energized

I am writing this as I come back from the National Outreach Convention in San Diego.

End to a Great Day

I just I received and e-mail from a man who I have been talking to about in the last few weeks at Timberlake. He comes from a very secular background but has been exploring Christian Faith. Here is what he wrote. Ben, I realize I need guidance and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. I’m accepting [...]

Two e-mails

Today I got two e-mails, (actually, a lot more than that), but two that were of a personal nature. One was of a person who gave great encouragement and one that was less that encouraging. So now I face a choice. As I go to bed tonight I am faced with a choice, what will [...]
