Hi Scott,

Thanks for the clarification. We are members at NPBC and I have been wanting to come to a Sunday evening service. Will stop in soon and see if it’s for us. We love NPBC!

Thanks for the comment! Crash is an alternative to our Sunday morning service at North Phoenix Baptist Church. We are one church committed to one mission and vision, offering two different worship styles in two different venues. Crash is different stylistically in terms of our style, music, and sermons. You can get more info on Crash at http://www.nphx.org/crash and North Phoenix as a whole at http://www.nphx.org. We would love for you to join us some Sunday soon!

Great article Scott! Nike has a great marketing statement “Just Do It.” Like you Scott, I have an app on my cell phone that tracks all the statistics each time I ride my mountain bike. The graphs that summarize my performance are an accumulation of a year’s worth of data. Between my rides days you’ll find me at the gym. Last weekend I broke a cannel record on my 29r Giant hitting a top speed slightly over 30 miles a hour trying to out peddle a juvenile PetBull named “Tinkles,” who thought I was more fun than the Frisbee tossed by the owner.

The bond between NPBC and Crash will always be with me. It was your group that made me feel welcome while other churches tried to “sign me up,” making be feel that contributions were more important than the person. Every Sunday night, as the clock clicks closer to 6pm, I come up with excuses why not to go….and each Sunday it gets easier and easier to accept that next Sunday reasons.

I think the seven reasons you gave reach past exercise challenging my excuses of missing your services…thanks.

Scott, what does “alternative” worship service mean? Alternative to what? Thanks

I think my favorite part of this post was when you realized how much you had changed because you told about seeing other people running and you wished you were out there running, too. I am trying to get to that point with my working out at the gym in general! I wish I loved it more. I am getting to a place where I look forward to doing a particular couple or so different exercises as part of my whole routine for the next time I go because I am at a point where I am making progress on those particular things and I am looking forward to seeing where I am at and to going forward. Still, when I see people going to the gym I am not sure that I necessarily wish I was going, too! By the time each of my three hour or so four times a week workouts are done, I am looking forward to going home and showering! Sorry!

I am with you Monna. I prefer texting or IM-ing sometimes to talking, yet I watch the students I work with struggle to navigate a world where electronic communication often undoes their relationships during crises. For some time, I have been convinced that the speed of technological evolution has outstripped our ability to discern how to use new tools in ways that don’t destroy us. I guess that’s the challenge of living in this day. Just because I can doesn’t mean I should.
Thanks for your comment!
