Bathtub Party Day 2007-12-05 07:15:36 There is almost a holiday for everyday of the month. Today is ”BathtubParty
Day“ The day came about for the simple reason that most people today don’t have time for a leisurely bath. In fact we barely have time for a quick shower! Well December 5th is different. “Bathtub Party Day” is a time to immerse yourself [...]
Merry Christmas VS Happy Holiday? 2007-12-04 18:17:15 Someone sent me this video today, but I must confess that I don’t see the huge issue with retail stores using the terminology “HappyHoliday
.” Maybe there is something wrong with me…I don’t know. I would say that we should individually show the love of Christ during this season and deal with individuals on a [...] Read more:Christmas

Stephanas 2007-12-04 08:06:58
Have you ever met people who authentically care and show their love for each other by meeting people’s needs? I have seen snap shot pictures of this in my life. People in the church making meals for those who have been in the hospital, a teacher who actually cares about how a child learns and gives extra time [...]
Merry Christmas? 2007-12-02 21:00:12 A recent survey released by Rasmussen Reports after the Thanksgiving holiday showed that 67 percent of Americans favor the phrase “MerryChristmas

Hymenaeus 2007-11-26 09:44:31 We live in a day where we have many leaders teaching many different ideologies of scripture. Some of differences that are taught we can agree to disagree, but those who teach in opposition to scripture we must hold strong to scripture and warn those who are in the body of Christ. Paul had this difficult issue arise [...]
Thanksgiving 2007-11-22 09:35:05 Wow! It’s Thanksgiving
Day! Thanksgiving began with the Pilgrams and Wampangoa Indians having a great feast together to celebrate what God had provided for them during a very difficult time after landing at Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. If it wasn’t for the Indians helping them to learn how to farm the land they would have never survived. [...]
Tabitha (Dorcus) 2007-11-20 08:38:09 Most of us have heard about Mother Teresa. She has helped the needy and has sought to help those who have been outcast, sick and neglected in India. Before there was a Mother Teresa in our century, there was a woman with the same compassion in the day of the Apostle Peter. Her name was Tabitha or [...]
Rhoda 2007-11-16 07:24:59 Some people we read about in the Bible we don’t have a clear picture of their character, but we can see their actions and how they respond to situations. One of the people we read about in scripture is the servant girl Rhoda. The only thing we really know about Rhoda is that she serves in Mary’s house. It [...]

Purple States 2007-12-23 07:33:04 I have recently began watching PurpleStates
tv. The New York Times have selected five people throughout the United States (Iowa, South Carolina, California, Florida and Maine) to interview the Presidential candidates. These individuals are not professional journalist or political specialist, they are citizens asking the candidates questions that are effecting the American people. These selected citizens [...]

Marketing Through “TEXT” messaging 2008-01-23 08:37:24
I stumbled upon a great marketing strategy as I was driving past an apartment complex. “Texting for more info.” I starting thinking through how signs can be more then just promotions, they can be interactive! Image driving by a church sign and it says TEXT this number for more info. People would be able to retrieve [...] Read more:Marketing
Creative Atmosphere? 2007-12-27 10:05:01 As we are developing our creative teams, each of us desire that creativity oozes out of our team as we meet together. I have found that some of my best creativity has been initiated when I was away from the brain storming meetings. So the big question is how do we create a creative atmosphere? How can we access the [...]
Experiencing God is Living 2008-04-09 12:25:38 It is quite interesting; once a person starts church planting everything in his world begins to change. Scheduling, office work and communication is no longer done within the pristine white walls of an office. The environment shifts and you begin the adaptation process of your new world that is being formed. When working out of your home [...] Read more:Living

Community Within The Local Church 2008-05-07 12:34:25 I’ve been thinking a lot about community within the local church. What does it look like? I know some central values must be in place: Trust, open communication, care and acceptance of diversity. Due to us being imperfect people, it seems like we mess up this thing called community, but maybe community is suppose to be messy. [...] Read more:Church

Wii - Life Together 2008-05-12 12:24:49 We have just started a new sermon series that we have entitled, “Wii

Think Different 2008-05-20 12:26:34 Do you remember the Apple“Think Different” campaign? As I begin thinking through church development, I notice that many churches take the approach of memmicing churches that they are modeling their churches after. While using principles and ideas to enhance what we are already doing as a church is fine in my opinion. To mimic and try [...]
It Could Always Be Worst 2008-06-04 12:34:23 This week immediately following our family breakfast I read a children’s book entitled, “It Could Always Be Worst.”
It is about a poor man that lived in a hut with his wife, mother-in-law and six growing children. Due to their tight living conditions they were frustrated with life and took it out on each other. So one Day the poor man when [...]
