Charlie Wear's Notes

  • The power and possibility of repentance

    One of my favorite mentors used to say something like, "It’s time to get born again, again!" There is something powerful about that idea. The idea that we can choose to turn our lives around, to surrender once again to the Lordship of Jesus in our lives, to make a… Listen ⇢

  • Ed Stetzer: Contend, Contextualize, Cooperate

    Ed Stetzer brings it at the Southern Baptist Convention and gives an excellent example of contextualization, preaching with all of the fire and passion that is expected from a Baptist preacher. His message? Get missional. This is really, really good. Listen ⇢

  • Exploring the beauty of procrastination

    I need time management. No, you didn’t read this incorrectly. I didn’t say I need a time management "system." I have had about elebenty-seven of those over the years.What I need to develop is the ability to say no to all of the good things that others expect me to… Listen ⇢

  • Under the weather…

    For over a week now I have been under the weather. Nothing serious, just some kind of congestion with a dry cough and some loss of voice. Unfortunately it makes it very hard to work and ply my trade. I can go to work, but I just don’t feel like… Listen ⇢

  • All you need is…

    "I think if you get down to basics, whatever the problem is, it’s usually to do with love. So I think ‘All You Need is Love’ is a true statement. I’m not saying, ‘All you have to do is…’ because ‘All You Need’ came out in the Flower Power Generation… Listen ⇢

  • Living through our lives…

    I find it especially hard when stuff is happening to kids. I stumbled across this post by my friend Stephen Shields about the upcoming surgery for his daughter Skye and her ongoing kidney issues. I know that I was totally freaked out when my son Benjamin was scheduled for an… Listen ⇢
