Chances are, you’ve heard the latest nonsense to drip from the mouth of Pat Roberston…It’s not the first wacky think he’s ever said, but this is the first comment of his I feel compelled to add my own words to. There’s a bit of a personal twinge here ….
“If today’s evangelical church were personified as an ordinary man, we would find him flabby and out of shape.” These are the types of thoughts and strong statements that Ronnie Floyd makes to believers in this powerful wake up call of a book; a much needed write to today’s lethargic approach to evanglism. I received a free copy of this book via BookSneeze.com – and have enjoyed every page. It’s a powerfully written book –…
I was given a digital copy of “With” by Skye Jethani to review, from Booksneeze.com, and was initially impressed with the overall idea. Skye writes that for far too long we’ve limited our relationship with God to four categories – Under, For, From, or Over; each with their own good or bad qualities. Instead, we need to learn to do life WITH God – a full on, healthy, living breathing relationship, same as we do life…
I first read Wild at Heart about 6 years ago, and it deeply affected my life as a teenager, trying to figure out manhood and what it meant to really be a man of God. This book brought back memories of the first time I read it, in a nicer presentation, and some newer and updated content revisions. It really takes an in-depth look at the emotions (yes, men do have them) and energies that…
If you’ve been doing graphics for any length of time, in any capacity, you’ll know that the most overused, and most hated in the design world, font is Papyrus. If you’re using it, STOP. Please. And read this interesting/unique/awesome church marketing revitalization campaign – love what this is all about! No, it’s not really about a typeface. It’s about the mediocrity that we’ve allowed in the church and in the way we tell the gospel…
Are you familar with the Welsh revival? Phenomenal move of God in 1904-1907, led by a young man named Evan Roberts and a small group of young people. Lots of cool stories came from it, and it literally changed the course and shape of the nation (I’m going to share a specific story here in a moment. Google “welsh revival” and you’ll find some cool stuff! I stumbled across one story that hit me…. Jumped…
stumbled across this little gem…love these stories… How Revival Started in the Marketplace?By J. Edwin Orr, Oliver Price reprinted from www.HisChurchatWork.org Is there a Jeremiah Lanphier among you? This is a record of something God did 130 years ago in New York City. It illustrates how God has started every harvest time in history, through the concerted prayer of his people. Toward the middle of the last century the glow of earlier religious awakenings had faded….
Recently, I began working on the Youth Alive team – a US Missions orginization. I’ll spare you the details, but if you’d like to know more, click here. It’s definitely led me to think differently in some areas…one being money. Missionaries live by faith off of monthly support – duh. They have a huge responsibility to be good stewards of the money their supporters are sacrificing for them…but, aren’t we all? Aren’t all to be…
