This week’s HS lesson from SYM Live is about Honoring God in all you do. In preparing the lesson, I ran across this commentary on Colossians 3:17: Neither in worship, nor in his business and pleasures, must be the Christian engage in anything that cannot be done in Christ’s name; […]
What are We Doing?
Its that time of year again. Players are reporting to spring training. I signed the boys up for T-ball last weekend. Baseball time is almost upon us. We might have some youth and parents disappear until September (assuming they don’t play winter ball…). What is the real reason? What needs to […]
What is Un?
Dare2Share’s Conference theme this year is the “Un. Tour”. I have gotten a lot of questions as a Youth Pastor that go kind of like this… “What is Un???” Here is an Answer… We live in a world where God is seen as Un-important, many Christians are Un-Committed, and are Un-Prepared […]
Valentines Day post…
As you enjoy your Valentine’s Day, take a peek at this video from Canyon Ridge Christian Church… “Family Man” from Trevor Little on Vimeo.
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 […]
Advertising Changes…

What is Sacred?

Hey, I could use your help! My iPad is most of the way done…if you’d like one of those, go Here…. I’m working toward a free iPhone 4 32GB as a bonus from a site called YourFreeiPhone.com. A freind of mine in Minnesota tipped me off about it. It’s super […]
The iPhone, Uses in ministry, and What we can learn..
I have been an iPhone holdout for several years. I have tested about every smartphone platform (I think I skipped Nokia’s S60…) but the iPhone. I have set them up for clients, transferred their data, but no extended use on my part. It was almost a badge of honor not […]
Will the Real Holy Spirit Please Show Up?
For those that missed it, this week on SNL featured Mark Zuckerburg in the opening monologue. Mark is the co-founder and CEO of Facebook. What made it interesting was the fact that he was not the host. The guy who played him on a “fictional movie” “that was not about him” […]
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 […]
