Most people would say “no” but have you ever seen a happy homeless person? I don’t think you can wear a frown and drive a Lamborghini at the same time, can you? Of course, I am kidding. We all know some rich person who is miserable (or at least we hope they are miserable). The truth is money can be deceptive. It can’t buy ...
When you are not connected at Avalon Church you feel lonely. When you feel lonely you accept friend requests from people you do not know on Face Book.

The Bible comes to life in new and powerful ways as kids explore why nothing is impossible with God. Through every experience, kids find that they can trust God. Start soaring now--register to be a ...
Stop it! That headline does not mean we are having a senior adult choir sing for us this Sunday night at Avalon Church. You are so mean! Just because your grandpa is so old that he used to ride a T-Rex to work does not give you the right to be snarky.

Let’s be honest. It is not always easy to stay positive especially since there are so many negative people and forces around us at all times. Some people try to blame this on our current age of communication and technology but I have a hard time believing that medieval serfs struggling to scratch out a living from the ground sixteen ...
You are facing an identity crisis. You may not realize it but everyone faces this crisis. God created you on purpose. You are not an accident. God did not mess up when he made you but he created you for a very specific reason. He knows you. He planned you. He created you with an identity that fits his plan. He chose when you were born, where you were born, and to whom you were born. He chose the color of your eyes and hair, how tall you were going ...
In a few weeks Kim and I will go to South Africa to see the children at Indawo Yethemba. Indawo Yethemba means “place of hope” in Zulu and it is where Bob and Joanna Graham take care of the AIDS orphans that God has entrusted to them and to us to help care for. We are very excited about seeing them as well as Chris Duncan. Chris is from Avalon and has been in South Africa for several months now. We want to take a care package to Chris. If you would ...

Come on! Admit it. You have lied to a new mom and told her that her baby was beautiful even though you thought the child looked like ET spawned it. When my only son, Brandon, was born I thought they had mixed up our baby with some ugly people’s baby. He looked like a lizard. I am not lying. The boy was hideous. The sad thing is ...
I am not sure what the food in Heaven will taste like but I am fairly certain that Krispy Kreme donuts will be served. Hot. With milk so cold that it hurts your teeth. If you have never tasted – nay, experienced – a hot Krispy Kreme donut with ice-cold milk then… I’m sorry… what was I saying? I was thinking about how ...
