Generosity
This past Sunday was a great day of giving. In the morning before church we hit the annual Kiwanis pancake breakfast. The club that runs the breakfast raises several thousand dollars for projects for kids. It’s always a great opportunity for giving… and I get to eat! In the afternoon after church I went over to a fundraiser for a…

I LIKE — The Bible Translation Game
In the spirit of wanting to find the good in things, and not just the negatives, I continue on with my “I LIKE” campaign. For the initial rules of my little game, read here. Please understand, this is not to say I am 100 percent in favor of something. When I use opposites, I actually PREFER one thing over the…

The Great “I LIKE” Campaign, Part 3
It’s difficult for me to write with humor. It’s probably the way I write and I just haven’t learned the art of writing humorously yet. So, I state this up front: Today is just FUN. I’m not going to talk theology or church ministry. I will give opposites in media today. The idea of my little project is to say…

The Great “I LIKE” Campaign, Part 2
For a fuller explanation of what this is about, go HERE. Basically, I am choosing to say something GOOD about a subject or people when it’s normally easy pickings for criticism. My aim is also to choose “opposites” on a given day. This is a personal project because I can be an “equal opportunity offender.” My goal now is to…

For better or worse, this man stood as a watchman on the wall of our nation and prophetically pastored a church in Manhattan that is doing an amazing work today. His words have angered me, challenged me, and brought me to my knees. The Church in America has suffered a…

Illegal Aliens
Not the subject matter that grabs headlines in Arizona. And, okay, maybe not “illegal.” It’s us. Believers in Jesus Christ. WE are aliens. No matter what country we live in on this earth, we are aliens. Our true citizenship is not here. Our homeland is not found anywhere around here. Our true worth is not found here. We act like…

Living With the End in Mind
I am working my way through 1 Peter right now and the words of Peter are so incredibly challenging. This is one reason I write about multi-generational churches. We need the wisdom. Peter talks about it. But more than that, we need a higher calling. We need to be reminded of the great price of salvation. There is a call…

Why Mono-Generational Churches are Needed
Since I only get responses agreeing with my position on multi-generational churches, I will now present the reasons we SHOULD have mono-generational churches. (I am dusting off my high school debating skills for this one.) 1. Dude, stop being offensive and calling them “mono-generational.” They should be called “cutting edge” or “relevant.” Not like your small, dead, boring church services…
