We have a thing in the church for getting results. I think we get it from the business world. Everyone wants a ROI – Return On Investment. Why wouldn’t they? You put a lot of resources, finances, and hard work into something, you want it to pay off. There’s a bamboo species that takes 100-120 […]

The Attraction Of Church
In one of the Facebook groups I’m in, someone had this to say, when trying to figure out how to market their church in a city of bigger churches: “…many of them are bigger and have all the stuff to attract all the people.” So, what attracts people to church? Sadly a lot of what […]
One Answered Questions From God
I’m part of several groups on Facebook that are for youth ministers. And many times I am utterly amazed by the things that are posted. All of these groups are for all different denominations, so there are a variety of beliefs that are in the group. But I am utterly amazed sometimes by the things […]
The Proper Place Of Relationships
Relationships. In the church world, we like to focus a whole lot on relationships. We have things like relational evangelism. We have connect groups and link teams where we try to connect people with similar interest, or of the same age and have them do things to grow their relationships together to make a stronger, […]
A Counterfeit God
The world, and when I say world, I mean the whole world, throws around the term “god” so much that you don’t know what anyone is talking about unless you’re given more information about this “god” or the one talking. If you’re in the south in the United States, you’ll hear “God bless their heart” […]
The Expectation of Offense
It seems like everyone is getting offended these days. Everywhere you look, someone is offended because someone said something about someone. People are made to make empty apologies on social media because of the backlash from the masses. Even waves of Christians get offended because a coffee company takes Christmas trees off their cups. It’s […]
You’re Going To Hell Because You Didn’t Accept Jesus And You Dunk Your Fries In A Frosty
Yes, dipping your french fries in a Frosty – any kind of ice cream is uncalled for and the unpardonable sin. If you visit a Wendy’s and dare to combine those two items, the blood of Jesus can cover your sins, but not that sin. Sounds stupid, huh? Well, that’s because it is. But how […]
The Pac-Man Life
Have you ever thought that life was like a video game? Have you ever looked at something and just made the connection that this is the same exact thing I would have to do in that one game to finish the level. If not, I’ll assume you’ve never packed a car for vacation and played Tetris.
Are They Taught To
Have you ever noticed that some people sit in church their entire life and never seem to grow? They got saved a decade or two ago and they’re still in the same condition that they were a year after accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Or maybe you look across the youth room at […]
Defeating The Enemies Of The Cross
Christians today, not all, but many, have gotten caught in one of the devil’s distractions – getting our focus off the things Jesus said to keep it on. While this isn’t new, it sure seems to be on the increase. With Covid and the changing of government officials and everything that has happened in the […]
