Megachurch leaders reap the consequences of choosing Mammon over God

31 August 2007 – 3:08 pm

Ah gee. I have no idea who these people are. They’re not part of “my tribe”. But it saddens me terribly. “It became less about God and more about self-promotion,” said a former church administrator. No bloody kidding.

10 July 2007 – 2:06 pm

Stephen Shields recently wrote a great article on the uptake of online social networking as a community-building and outreach strategy for the local church. It’s a great read.

The day Daddy came home from the war…

18 June 2007 – 4:18 pm

Inspired by Meg, I have decided to share a video with you all that I have been showing everywhere else, not least including it as a sermon illustration at church a couple weeks ago.
It is just amazing how much emotion can be packed into a simple video, sometimes, and I think there is an entire [...]

If you don’t have passion and purpose, greater productivity won’t help you!

28 April 2007 – 12:54 am

If what you do with the best hours of your day is not also the thing you’re passionate about, stop right now!
Stop right now and confront the cold hard facts for what they are: no amount of effectiveness training, time management skills, productivity tips and tricks or goal setting know-how will replace the critical [...]

A blog ‘Meme With Meaning’: sponsor someone or something!

15 January 2007 – 11:22 pm

There’s a blog meme going around at the moment where you post about 5 things people don’t know about you, and then “tag” five other bloggers you know to post in similar fashion. Fun… but shallow. And that’s OK.
But I’d love to see us have a go at a “meme with meaning”. I really would. [...]

The Blogging Church, by Brian Bailey with Terry Storch

15 January 2007 – 3:15 pm

The UPS man dropped off my advance copy of The Blogging Church about 30 minutes ago. I’m very excited to read this. Unless I am mistaken it’s the first time a mainstream publisher has published a proper book on blogging and Christian ministry. As many will know (or guess), I have a couple of clients [...]

Preacher in the hand of an angry radio host

13 January 2007 – 3:54 pm

Rick Warren cops it from Todd Friel… and if you’re like me you will have no idea who Todd Friel is.
 
He’s got a show with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort and together they cane Rick Warren (who they refuse to name, which is ridiculous, since they told you enough about him to figure out [...]

I DO get hacked off with Conservative Christianity sometimes…

7 December 2006 – 11:49 am

From this Washington Post piece:
The Rev. Joel Hunter, pastor of a nondenominational megachurch in Longwood, Fla., said he resigned as the coalition’s incoming president because its board of directors disagreed with his plan to broaden the organization’s agenda. In addition to opposing abortion and same-sex marriage, Hunter, 58, wanted to take on such issues as [...]

If only this wasn’t so funny in an uneasy, queazy kind of way…

27 November 2006 – 2:34 pm

Consumer Church. It’s funny but it’s awful. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
