Over the past few weeks I’ve really been thinking about Assimilation within the church. How do we take people from the outside of the church into its core? That’s the million dollar question. While there’s no “magic bullet” that is sure to make it happen, I thought I’d point out some posts on the topic […]

In today’s issue of What the Church Can Learn From… we’re going to be talking about one of the places in which I work, the credit union. Now, keep in mind that the names in the following story have been changed to protect the innocent. Because I’ve only been at the credit union for a […]

Well, I couldn’t help myself. Here are my results from the same Personal DNA test that James just took:

So, apparently I’m a benevolent inventor. Who knew? Do me a favor and take the same test about me here. Make sure to leave a comment if you do and let me know what you got. I […]

Recently church membership has been seriously floating around in my cerebral cortex. The more I study the New Testament and other churches, the more strongly I feel that church membership shouldn’t be in LifePoint’s future. Why, you may ask? Good question.
First of all, Members shouldn’t be defined by attending a class, signing a pledge or […]

Well, it seems like everytime that James and I get a chance to hang out and just talk about stuff, the following phrase, or a close facsimile, is uttered: “Wow, that’d be a great book. We should write a book about that.” All in all I’d say that we’ve come up with more book topics […]

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who prayed for my mom, her surgery went well this morning. For those of you who don’t know (which is probably a lot since I didn’t write about it on the blog), my mom had surgery this morning to remove her gall bladder. I […]

Last post, I talked about what the church can learn from the game Monopoly. In this post, I’d like to focus on what the church can learn from an actual monopoly. To do this, I’d like to share a little bit about my struggle with my local cable provider. Some of you may remember that […]

I love Monopoly, the game, not seizing control of a market by being the only provider of a product/service. Unfortunately, I don’t get to play it very often. I don’t really enjoy the computer version, and my wife won’t play monopoly with me. She says I’m too mean. So, I usually don’t get to play.
One […]

I read an article on cnn.com today that my wife sent me that’s very interesting. It seems that some of Sir Isaac Newton’s personal writings have recently been put on display in Jerusalem. What’s that have to do with the price of corn in China you may ask? Well, some of these documents express Newton’s […]

Writer’s block. We’ve all experienced it. You sit down at your computer desk, fire up the old crt (or lcd, whichever you prefer), turn on the cpu, double click on the little icon that looks like a piece of paper with a “W” on it, brimming with all kinds of thoughts that must be captured […]
