I have been reading a lot lately about the way things are going in the church in America. There are many ideas out there about what will happen the the western church and the ideals it is built on. From what I understand, some like Phyllis Tickle are thinking it will be a convergence of [...]

I have been reading in the blogosphere a lot about how the economy will impact the church and I had a thought this morning while driving into church. About 3 years ago, I served a church that was in an economic crisis. The church had made good plans, but it found itself in a hard [...]

I have been thinking about grace a lot lately. It really is such an incredible thing that I don’t think I really get. I know I understand the concept, but I don’t walk around feeling it in my life. I don’t often think of how it is can be such a life changing thing. It [...]

I just saved money by switching to Geico. Much like this ad series, evangelistic efforts across the globe have enticed people to start a relationship with God by telling them about some good news that they will want to know one day.
