Just read this and thought I would share. Spiritual Growth is a messy Process. Leaders must assess progress carefully — is this a hard hearted “mature” Christ-follower, heading away from God and needing church Discipline so he won’t damage the community? Or is the a toddler learning to walk in the way of Christ butContinue reading “No Perfect People Allowed Quote”

Letter to A Christian Nation
So I just finished reading Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris. This is a book that not everyone should read. Harris is an atheist and he is writing to try to bring Christians over to the Atheist Camp. I read it because I was asked to, and I saw it at half priceContinue reading “Letter to A Christian Nation”

More Snow, Honestly! It’s Time to Fight Back
So I’ve lived in the Seattle area for about 20 years. I’ve seen many snow days, I’ve seen power outages that last days, and I’ve seen torrential rain. But today marks my limit for welcome snow.

Earl Creps on Preaching
Just read this great post from Dr. Creps. I’ve always felt that preaching should be as artful as the music portion of any service. If the preaching isn’t imaginative then why would anyone care? The Bible should never be boring. It is full of some of the most bizare and amazing stories. The only reasonContinue reading “Earl Creps on Preaching”
Soul Cravings
Erwin McManus’ Soul Cravings is a great little book. It’s written in a format that is more like a blog or a journal than a big chapter book. So I like to read an entry or two a day. I read this today in the Section titled Destiny: You were created not to live inContinue reading “Soul Cravings”
