Love this Idea: The CROSS-Mas Tree

What if finding Christ in Christmas doesn’t have to be an uphill battle? I saw something recently via a friend of a friend that you’ll now be able to see in our church building. It’s called a “CROSS-mas Tree.” When I saw it, I thought, “That’s awesome… one more way to remind us what Christmas is […]

Puerto Rico has been a Commonwealth of the United States since 1898, and many people travel there every year to enjoy all the beauty the island has to offer.

A Little Experiment On Yik Yak

I’m not a huge user of social media. I do have a Facebook, Twitter and Instagram account and I post occasionally on them – usually things that pertain to my family and sometimes ministry items. But I rarely look on these apps or websites to see what other people are doing. This has caused some […]

Beyond the First Ten Minutes

0
0
Apparently, it only takes ten minutes. When you sit down to watch a movie, you’ll create a filter for everything that follows within the first ten minutes of what you see. Maybe this is why some of the best movies have an unexpected teaser that you don’t know what to do with. You’re there to […]

Teaching Students To Share Their Faith

Evangelizing can be weird for students. I felt like a salesman trying to share my faith when I was in school. And not just any salesman, but a salesman who sells things people don’t know they want or even need. A perfect example of this is the person at the kiosk booths at the mall. They […]

This past weekend I had the honor of running another half-marathon. Before you are impressed you need to know a couple of things. First of all, I don’t really run as much as I fall forward with momentum. If this wasn’t bad enough, I am an asthmatic. There is nothing more attractive than the paramedics […]

Crafting a Better Mission Statement

0

It’s just two words long. “Spreading ideas.” That’s the new mission statement for TED, a unique organization known for its thought-instilling conferences and powerful, mini-presentations on Technology, Entertainment and Design. The company’s former mission statement was “Ideas worth spreading.” Still, TED does have a more comprehensive understanding of what that means. “TED conferences bring together the world’s most […]

Leaders Hurt Others When They Don’t…

It saddens me to read blogs and hear about so many people in ministry being bruised and hurt by leaders within the church. And while I understand there is another side to the story, I believe the first side should start with us as leaders. So if you are leading a ministry or a leader in […]
