- day off!
It’s easy to foget my biggest ministry is at home.
This is the real reason for my day off! Megan and I are going to go out today on our first daddy/daughter date in a long, long time. It’s so cold, we’ll have to find something fun indoors.
- caught between two realities
As I mentioned in All Blogs yesterday, this weekend we will be teaching (via my favorite media, discussion) the question “how should a man treat a woman?” in my Sunday School class. I believe we shouldn’t teach students rules… But virtues. “How should a Christian adolescent treat adolescent females?”
Yesterday I bombed my two co-teachers with [...]
- thursday going by so fast
With Thursday mostly gone… Let me reflect on the past 12-24 hours!
Light Force Report: Youth group was great last night. That’s three weeks in a row where it has been solid. A lot of students, good attitudes, good worship, good games, and my inability to communicate God’s Word. Actually, I think the talks in Revelation [...]
- Apocalypse Now: It’s About to Begin
I’ve posted the notes from my talk tonight at here.
Which reminds me that I need to post a link to the download area for my talks here too. I’ll try to remember to add that to the links list tonight.
Last thing, if anyone has seen my secretary could you please send her back to the [...]
- I don’t get the United States sometimes
This post is peppered by two things.
I’ve listened to most of Tom Brokaw’s book “The Greatest Generation” and have a strong sense of longing for that unity that was experienced in the 40s.
I’ve seen and heard enough of the neo-liberal agenda to stall, attack, and thwart the will of the American people. It’s clear that [...]
- it’s officially Wednesday!
Each week I get to Tuesday and think I must have an extra day before youth group. But alas, the alarm clock goes off and Wednesday morning is here.
I have an outline for what we will be talking about tonight. We’re in Revelation 4 and this is the turning point between when the past history [...]
- Scathing e-mail from Amazon.com patron
This afternoon I received a rather rude e-mail from a gentleman in Texas. Apparently he was dissatisfied that I didn’t bend over far enough to get him the CD he purchased quickly enough. Nevermind the fact that he purchased a CD that retails for $17.99 for $4.00 and paid for standard shipping. (He could have [...]
- the irrelevant church is my fault
As a pastor of a small church in a growing town, I am fully aware that the church seems to be reaching fewer and fewer people as time goes on. Most “growth” is transfer growth… These are folks who get sick of one church and come to ours or visa versa. Real growth is when [...]
