CJ on Art Monk
CJ on Art Monk: This post by CJ about Redskin legend, Art Monk is very inspiring. CJ is preaching on sports at the end of our "Don't Waste Your..." series. I'm looking forward to hearing him address the subject.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.

I thought this article was very revealing as well. It seemed that CJ was giving credit to Art Monk's pastor.
"Monk's speech appears to be the fruit of good pastoring."
But what Art Monk said was, "So I've learned a long time ago never to put my faith or trust in man, for man will always fail you. Man will always disappoint you. But the Word of God says that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. And He will never fail you."
We all know how a pastor can change, just look at the new revisions of People of Destiny International.
What is the most revealing in CJ's comments is that he believes Art is what he is due to the work of a pastor. So . . . this makes me believe that he will then take credit for someone that regularly comes to his building that has a close relationship to God. Even if that person gives God all the glory, as Art Monk did, CJ will think it is because of the pastor. Humility? Not a chance.
