Good or Great?
It’s easy to chart what you need to do to improve your church. It is exponentially harder to actually accomplish it. On paper it may look easy to hit those milestones and measures, but when you throw in the personalities and agendas of all involved, things can get quite messy. At this point, you’ve probably [...]
Back to Home…
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I have a lot of notes that are turning into blog posts really soon… Last week was a mission trip with my youth ministry to Illinois. The week before that was WorldView Academy Leadership camp in Columbia, Missouri. There were two days I happened to be home [...]
Book Review: The Sword of the Lord: The Roots of Fundamentalism in an American Family
I have been working on this review in various forms of drafts and notes for about a month and a half now. I don’t often accept offers and open blog posts to do Pre-Release book reviews, but I liked the potential this book brought to the table. Why this book? I come from conservative Southern Baptist roots. [...]
An Interesting View of Evangelism..
I am reading and preparing notes for a review of the book – “The Sword of The Lord” by Andrew Himes and I ran across the following quote from Andrew’s Grandfather, John R Rice that he printed in “The Sword of The Lord” newspaper in 1954…. “There is a wicked, worldly philosophy that is coming [...]
An Anatomy of Phishing…
I get several of these spam emails daily, of people trying to disguise themselves as someone they are not for the purposes of getting your banking information. Be careful, never click the links.

Book reviews coming….
I have two book reviews cooking right now. They are closely related. One is new, one is fairly old, but they present two views on fundamentalist Christianity in America. It’s been interesting, to say the least. Share this:EmailFacebookPrint

The “Soup” of Church Ministry….
I had a moment of inspiration while eating my lunch today. Eating the Grilled Chicken and Sausage Gumbo reminded me of life in church ministry. It really is a “soup”. It’s a lot of individual ingredients put together to accomplish a purpose. In the case of my Gumbo, it’s each ingredient adding to the overall [...]

Free Download from Answers in Genesis…
This morning, I had breakfast with several area pastors and the Area Representative for Answers in Genesis. He shared some resources available to Pastors that will help disciple and equip church members in developing an accurate Christ-Centered Worldview. He also shared about the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. Both are excellent ministries. They have a genuine [...]
