This is another blog-mark. I’m reading Howard Snyder’s The Community of the King. Fascinating book and its contents got me thinking. When asked, how do you respond to this question. Which church do you go to? For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Which ChurchSo I’m with my sleeping 2 year old daughter. As you know the best time is when they are asleep. I could think it’s safe to nip off and get something done, but then I know my daughter and she knows when I’m not there. While she sleeps I manage to sneak in an episode […]
Read More Don’t Hold It In – Talk About ItThe mission of Christ was not to be served but to serve. That lays a template for those who follow Him to likewise have the heart of a servant – not a volunteer. The servant is at the beck and call of those who she serves. That is why we call Jesus, Lord. He calls […]
Read More Called To Be ServedI was just wondering again … Why are a lot of churches inclined to stick to ‘their own kind’ and not be multi-racial, multi-generational, multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual expression of the life-changing power of Jesus that celebrates the diversity of humanity in the oneness we share in Christ?

Read More So You’re A New Believer … God Help You!Analogies. I love them. One picture to help with the point that you’re making. A picture that is easy to understand and its basics can be seen in the other side. Football analogies. I love them. I love football. I have a point to make. I make the point by using something I love. Just […]
Read More Playing Out Of PositionLet me see if I’ve got this right. When people get married the deal is that this arrangement is til death do us part. Yet some stats somewhere suggest that Christian marriages are just as likely to end in divorce as non-Christian marriage. Whatever the stats say the reality is it is not uncommon to […]
Read More Talking Point: Christian DivorceHere’s a tricky thing about following Jesus. It can be an intensely personal and individual journey. To a large degree you’re responsible for your own development and commitment to Christ. When we are judged we won’t be able to blame church leaders and all that kinda jazz.
