Planet Rock Problems Resolved

Posted: 01/05/07

Planet Rock ISU was down for awhile. I kicked it several times very solidly and it all should back up and running now. The upshot is that you probably missed some good blog posts. Be sure and go and check everyone's blog out to see what you missed!

Faithwalkers 2006 Audio Is Now Available

Posted: 01/03/07

You are now able to download the teachings from Faithwalkers 2006 (both main sessions and seminars). I suggest getting them, even if you went to the conference. Way too much wisdom was shared for a simple "one time" listening. Put them on your iPod (or whatever...)

Planet Rock Hiccups

Posted: 10/31/06

You may (or may not) have noticed some weird things going on with Planet Rock. It was due to some sloppy updating on my part. (Really it was Taran's fault for wanting me to add his blog). All should be well now. Also, coming soon: commenting on The Rock Blog! Hopefully this will encourage more blogging on our part, and more interaction on your part. That or no one will notice ;) (Send comments to )

Posted: 10/30/06

The Rock This Friday - October 20th

Posted: 10/19/06

After getting kicked out of two locations on campus because of the high level of production (ie, we are too loud and crazy), The Rock will gather in 1210 LeBaron Hall (the Auditorium). Matt Heerema will be speaking on Ephesians 2, and The Rock Band will make enough noise (all of it joyful) to get us kicked out of this location as well. Tell all your friends!

October 13th Rock Location Announced

Posted: 10/11/06

This Friday the 13th (oouuuu spooky!), The Rock will gather in 1210 LeBaron Hall (the Auditorium). Paul Johnson will continue talking about Ephesians 1 and Matt Heerema will provide some music for us to (hopefully) sing along (loudly) with. Tell all your friends!

The Rock this Friday - Oct. 6th

Posted: 10/05/06

The Rock will be at Stonebrook this Friday at 7:30pm. Need Directions?

Planet Rock Updates

Posted: 09/11/06

At the request of "them", I have made a few changes to Planet Rock: On the homepage of www.rockisu.com, only current Rock members' blogs will show up. At the traditional, planet.rockisu.com location, all the original Planet members blogs will still appear. Should probably say "Planet Rock (and Friends of The Rock). Also, We have added Kendal McCallum's new blog: Life, The Universe, and Everything. Welcome to the Planet...

This Friday at the Rock

Posted: 08/31/06

This week Cliff will be speaking. His topic will be "Surprised by God's Love" He will be asking the question "do you really believe God loves you?" Stop by and see us this Friday at 7:30 on the MU Terrace and let God transform your life.

The Rocks Cry Out...

Posted: 08/22/06

Feeling embarrassed by the Jews’ enthusiasm for Jesus, the Pharisees told Jesus to shut them up. Jesus replied to them saying, “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” (Luke 19:40) Here we are 2000 years later and now it’s me feeling uncomfortable about identifying with Jesus and The Rock. While standing in a bar line on Welch Ave., a man who was “stone” drunk shouted out, “The Rock rocks!” over and over again. It should have been me crying out. Jesus is the Rock of Ages, the cornerstone upon which all of life rests. This semester, I will not be ashamed to proclaim His name nor be identified with His people. Welcome to The Rock, people, I’m with them.

The Short List (for today)
