Fathers and Ministry

Posted in Church, Family, tagged , on June 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

So tomorrow’s Father’s Day. I almost feel obligated to say something special about my dad (which I will!), but if you are a father out there – don’t ever underestimate the impact you have on your kids. It’s huge!  They are watching your every word and action.  Whether they say it or not, your influence [...]

Here’s a short list of some books I’ve read recently: The Celtic Way of Evangelism by George Hunter III – A great book highlighting how Patrick contextualized the gospel to reach the Celts in the 5th Century. It really challenged me to consistently evaluate the ‘how’ of ministry while maintaining the ‘what’. Carry On by [...]

We were joined by Johannes Amritzer for lunch and he spoke with us on vision and the importance of establishing a strong vision in your church.

Johannes Amritzer spoke tonight at our Leader’s Roundtable for our MCM churches.  It was a powerful night!  Here’s the notes: Never stop praying (‘Devote yourselves to prayer…’ Col. 4:2a) ‘Salvation is not just a logical decision, it is a miracle.’ – The gospel is the power of God… When we pray, we are not changing [...]

What Does it Mean to be Great?

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on June 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve often pondered what it means to be great. What makes men like George Müller or Charles Wesley so great?  Was it the 10,000 orphans cared for throughout Müller’s lifetime or the over 5,500 hymns written by Wesley?  I would say no.  Those are great accomplishments, but I don’t think those great acts made men [...]

Being Relevant As An Elephant

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , on June 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

A couple friends of mine have a company that just launched a pretty cool website. I’m not real into politics and you won’t hear me talk politics on this site, but I couldn’t help mentioning this new site. It’s called ‘The Relevant Elephant‘ and it’s purpose is “a blog for young voters—a platform for the [...]

Manic Monday-Create

Posted in Manic Mondays, tagged , , on June 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Here’s my latest ‘Manic Monday‘ idea.  This really was birthed out of a talk Earl Creps did on ‘Ministering to Cultural Creatives’.   As I listened to it, I realized the American Church as a whole doesn’t do a real good job engaging the creative segment of our communities. We are often very good presenting concrete [...]
