Changing the world...

... is a slogan I heard often during the years I taught missions at a place called Harding University. We had a lot of the younger generation who wanted to 'make a difference' in the world and I wondered how long that idealism would last. Best I remember we figured about 18 to 20% of the mission interns we sent out each summer actually returned later to serve full-time in missions for at least two years outside the United States. Not to shabby, maybe.

So whatever happened to the… Continue

Being Missional in Our Worship Times - Americans need more sleep

Being missional must factor into everything that we do. This should include even such things as our worship times. Is this not what a missionary would do? Is this not what a church planter would do? Absolutely! They would say, what time would have the best chance of having someone that we are trying to reach attend? They would not say, hmm, I think I'll have it at _____ time because that is what I like.

So what worship times would be culturally… Continue

Quiet Action, while God-talk is on semi-sabbatical

On Sundays we've simply been reading sections of 1 Thessalonians and making a commitment to make room for God to change certain things in our lives. Last week I determined to work quietly with my hands. That would be my new 'practice', so to speak, not that it was a new thought, just something I'm not normally intentional about.

I called it "the week of meek" so I wouldn't forget to reign in my urge to talk about God and faith ALL day. I learned three things after practicing this… Continue

Changing the Scorecard of the Church

I just finished reading Missional Renaissance by Reggie McNeal. I took Reggie for a D.Min. class at Fuller, and Becki and I heard him speak at a minister spouse retreat. He is very in tune with both the religious and the non-religious world, and I give him credit for inspiring me in a lot… Continue

A faith Based Development Project for Christian education (HTCHS)

Began as an outgrowth of Evangelist Uchenna Bekee's concern regarding academic growth and Christian conduct. And the continuity of the faith of our fathers . HTCS seeks to provide activities to assist the well rounded development of each student, a development similar to Jesus' development in Luke 2:52 “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man”. Intellectual growth is stimulated through… Continue

New Survey: Those With No Religion Fastest-Growing Group in US

On Monday, a new religious study was released that showed that 15% of the US population defines themselves as belonging to no religion. Here is an excerpt from the American Religious Identification Survey—conducted by the Program on Public Values at Trinity College.

"The percentage of Americans claiming no religion, which jumped from 8.2 in 1990 to 14.2 in 2001, has now increased to 15… Continue

Do you really know them? No, I mean really do you know them?

Quote of the night from Celebrate Recovery (used by permission)

After being at CR for about 2 months now, a new man came to group and said, "Well, I went to my home church last Sunday night and told them, after being here for more than 20 years I just wanted to tell you, you don't know me!" To the total shock of the crowd, he told them he was a drug addict. Since he doesn't fit the stereotypical role of "skid row", but is a productive member of the community and their church, you can… Continue

Could Christian blogging really make a difference?

Is it possible for the church to change the face of the internet?

Is it possible to use technology to develop relationships that lead to opportunities to share the love of Christ?

Why isn't the church doing more?

Could the answer be blogging?

These are just a few of the questions I have been asking. What questions do you have? What answers might you share?

I have been developing a project/theory to use blogging to:

1. Inundate the… Continue

Can Anyone Read the Bible?

This article in Newsweek recently made me think. http://www.newsweek.com/id/185850

Do we really believe that a person can read the Bible for themselves without a Bible degree etc. and find the truth? Is the truth in scripture able to be clearly understood by a honest seeker?

Can such a person read Luke and Acts and understand gospel and then obey it?

I know the Ethiopian eunuch said that he needed help understanding Isaiah 53 and needed Phillip to interpret it… Continue
