Our guest this Sunday at Vintage Church really needs no introduction. Ben Grubbs is a Pro Bowl Offensive Lineman for the New Orleans Saints and is the founder of the Ben Grubbs Foundation. Follow him on twitter: @BenGrubbs66. You can read more about Ben and his foundation HERE. His foundation is hosting an annual charity softball game with his teammates at Zephyrs’ Field on May 21st. You can get tickets on his website. Over the last couple of years I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Ben and consider him a great friend. Recently, Jesus has transformed Ben’s life and I had the privilege of baptizing Ben in San Diego at Pro Athletes Outreach.

Hey Vintage Church Family,

I would like to introduce you to my good friend, Saliba Danho. The picture above was taken in Jericho after a great meal with my dad and Saliba. I can’t wait to be back in Israel in 2015. I will be sharing some more details about this trip on Sunday.

Satan has been fishing for a long time. His bait has been distracting followers of Jesus from the clear command Jesus gave 2,000 years ago. Sometimes he uses our theological debates: does Jesus save or does man choose? Sometimes he uses our comfort and prosperity: do we really have to go and share when we have this amazing building, talent, and program for people to come and check out. Sometimes he uses our selfishness: isn’t the church meant for my spiritual growth and entertainment? No matter what he has used in our life, it is extremely clear that we have taken his bait…hook, line, and sinker.

Thanks for visiting my new blog! Why the new blog and even new branding on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc? The first reason for me is simple. Clarity and dependability. I know if you have followed me or Vintage online we seem a bit schizophrenic. To be honest, we are always open to trying whatever to reach whomever for Jesus. All the changes have been our imperfect attempts to reach people. We will probably change again, but I want to make sure that my personal ministry would stay consistent through whatever Jesus sends our way. That is why I am using my name as the brand. I used to be paranoid of people and would end up practicing false humility, but thankfully God has set me free from a fear of man. I know my heart, I have accountability, and I have been given unbelievable grace to serve as Rob Wilton.
