These Marketing Fails Remind Me of What We do in Church Sometimes….
Socialnomics is a site that Marketing Geeks like me can relate to. They look at marketing and the new global/social network-driven economy.Sometimes our western ideas don’t really translate that well In the ministry context, I notice that our churches, we have the same thing happen.

What do you have to rejoice about? Plenty.
One of my issues with ” modern mainstream” churches is that they act defeated, or like they are in danger of being defeated. Read the book of Revelations. We win because Christ has already won for us!!! I sometimes fall into that same line of thinking after a tough church […]

On Young People Serving in the Church…
When young people become Christians they do not get a “Junior Holy Spirit”. They do not get “spiritual gifts lite”. They get the full power of the Holy Spirit, and should be given ministry opportunities on this basis. Do our churches even know what gifts the young people have – let […]
