Again, I’ve marked so many great post in my feed reader that I can’t write a post for each one. Unfortunately, even the highlights in this post doesn’t even scratch the surface. For example, Bobby at “Deconstructing Neverland” writes “Warming pews and waiting on food stamps.” Bobby suggests (along with the post that he quotes) that the modern day church system and leadersh...

Over at “SimpleChurch Journal“, Roger has written an excellent article called “House Church is ALL About Leaders.” Now, the article title seems to mean that simple church enthusiasts only care about leaders and leadership. However, this is not what Roger means. Instead, he’s trying to point out that those who prefer simple church seek to encourage all to lead. For example, consider this: But I would like to s...

Tweet First, I want to thank Chris at “The Amplified Life” for his kind words about me and my blog in his post “We’ve Crossed ‘the Line.’” Then, I wan to encourage you to read that post. No, I don’t want you to pat me on the back. I want you to notice what Chris is talking about. Yes, there are differences and disagreements between Chris and myself. You can read about some of them in his ...

Tweet If you’ve been reading my blog for the last few months, then you know that I’m very excited about a venture undertaking by Chris (from “The Amplified Life”) and the church that he’s part of. What venture? A venture that they called “5th Sunday.” Four times per year, on fifth Sundays, they plan to forgo their normal church gathering and instead go out into their neighborhoods and community...

Tweet James at “Deliver Detroit” wrote a very good post called “Are other people allowed in your refrigerator?” I had never thought about it before, but the refrigerator is a special and private place withing a home. There is something special about being offered the use of the refrigerator. When people stay at our home, we often say something like, “You’re welcome to anything that’s in the ref...

Tweet My friend Wes at “a mission-driven life” has written an excellent article called “Missional Homeschooling.” This post is a much needed correctly to much that I’ve seen in homeschooling, primarily the desire to separate children from the world. Yes, we are to teach our children about God, both by our words and by our example. However, we cannot do this if we keep our children separated from the world....

Tweet The title of this post is a quote from a Bible professor in a CNN article called “Actually, that’s not in the Bible.” In the article, the author quotes several “passages” that are quoted as Scripture, but that are not actually found in the Bible. Some of the passages are obviously not Scripture, though they may sound biblish: “God helps those who help themselves.” “God works in myst...

Tweet In response to another blog post, Dave Black commented on leadership among the church. (See Friday, June 3, 2011 at 1:58 p.m.) When speaking about leaders, he referred to a passage that is often overlooked. I mean, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 is not as sexy (from a leader’s perspective) as some of the other preferred passages. However, I think this passage is very important if we want to understand how leaders work WITH the chu...
