Christian Leadership
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
How do you respond to Joplin, MO?
We’ve seen the pictures, we know the stories, but how do we respond as a community of believers? What is your Church/Ministry doing to support the efforts? I cannot imagine the devastation they have there. I cannot imagine what it is like to live there, or to lose someone in this tragedy. Red Cross is doing an amazing [...]
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 [...]
Awana Gospel Message App…
An App…That helps you share the Gospel! What an idea. I know that there are several out there already. But what sets this app apart is that it is tied in with what children, teens, and adults all over the world are teaching and learning every week. That is cool. You can get it here… [...]
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. We throw out all these “Christianese” terms with no definition [...]
Don’t bait and switch this weekend…..
Easter is this weekend. I know you already knew that and that Easter is one of the two most likely weekends of the year for the “unchurched” to show up. I want to preface my Easter weekend challenge with a story that happened last weekend… Oops on Craigslist I buy, sell, and trade things on [...]

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 service (face it, we all [...]
iPad 2 review…
Yesterday, I got a chance to use and review an iPad 2 in comparison to The original iPad. This will be one of the shorter reviews you will read (as my hands on time was limited for both devices), and it will be targeted toward primarily Ministry use. First, the differences… You can read any [...]
When teens are called to “save their friends”…
It is the Holy Spirit’s job. He has done a great one in redeeming our souls. We have been given a great gift that we should want to tell everyone we know about. It’s not unlike the homeless beggar that finds a huge source of food. If he’s not sharing that source with others, he’s [...]
Don’t be Plastic…

What Craigslist Can Show Us..
We live in a society that has changed. We want better communication but cherish the right to be anonymous. We want the ability to sell or trade when we feel like it. That individualism has crept into the church over time. We want the freedom to do as we choose in a church and if [...]
