Confession
Sunday, October 14th, 2007I'm excessively hard on preachers. I nit-pick and can be extremely unkind in my analysis of others. Volunteer preachers, not so much. But paid guys I can be merciless.

Grappling With Evangelicalism
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007I grew up in the conservative Churches of Christ. It is still where I hang my hat ministerially. However, as I have grown in my "knowledge and understanding" of Scripture and the nature and character of God I have developed my own doctrine, if you will, that sometimes ...
Where To Go Worship

What Are You Looking For In A Church?
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007Update: I have fleshed out this post with more of my thoughts. I did not want to convey that I am 100% on board with this. However, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. The attractional/missional approach does not need to be ...
Top 10 Tuesday: Coming Issues The Church Will Face
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007I'm no prophet and make no claims to be. I'm not even a skilled prognosticator. If I was I'd be playing the horses. However, there is no doubt that there is a coming tidal wave of issues that intellectually honest and sincere Christians will face in the future if ...
