After reading this article on their summer of scandals, I learned Max Lucado is serving as an interim pastor at Gateway Church in Southlake. That’s a little surprising to me. Not only does he live and continue to preach at his San Antonio, Texas church, but he is from the Church of Christ, and Gateway is nothing like the Church of Christ.
I have mixed feelings about this. Imagine if some gifted rookie quarterback wanted to wear the number 12 for the Dallas Cowboys. Staubach is such a nice guy; he’d obliged. But I wouldn’t want him put in such a situation.
I’m sorry such a thing happened to those officers. But in terms of the article, I thought it was very odd that WFAA referred to LBJ as I-635. No one calls it I-635, it’s either LBJ, HellBJ, or 635. Not to mention, it never touches Lewisville. I have a feeling someone not familiar with the area wrote this or WFAA is using some form of AI to generate the story.
In the wake of that shooting, sources tell WFAA that a chase ensued, with law enforcement eventually catching up to the suspect involved in the shooting along I-635 in Lewisville.
Traditionally, new churches are referred to as “church plants.” In this study, the Centre for Church Planting Theology discovered that even though more than 900 new churches were established by 11 dioceses in the past 10 years, none of them used the word “church plant” or “church.”
“Not one diocese used the term ‘church’ in their main descriptor. ‘Church plant’ is not used by any of the 11 dioceses. Only one diocese used ‘fresh expressions’ of ‘pioneering’ in its descriptor,” reads the study’s conclusion.
Six of the 11 dioceses preferred the language of “worship” as their main descriptor for new church projects. Seven used “community,” and only two used “congregation,” according to the Reverend Dr. Will Foulger.
