The Saddest Thing I've Ever Seen
Yesterday, a friend of mine gave me tour of a church where he's an interim worship pastor for a couple months. On the surface, I would have thought he'd be out of his mind not to take the job full-time. 700,000 square foot facilities with state of the art everything. …
A Lesson From Dentyne
Church Marketing Sucks beat me to the punch but I love the ad campaign so much I thought a re-post could do some good.

Church Planting Consultant?
What does that even mean? That may actually be the question at hand. (UPDATE: the picture is supposed to be sarcastic and/or funny)

Whatever Happened to Apologetics?
Maybe it is because I like to be right. Maybe it is because I like to argue. But I think the principal behind James 1:2-4 is still pretty important. Can you defend your faith?

Lukewarm Worship Leader
Carlos Whittaker (guy who does something at Buckhead church) has got a great discussion going on over at his blog right now about what defines a worship leader who is not really living up to his title. He borrowed the theme from the pastor of Lifechurch.tv, but I prefer …

The Brick Testament: Bible in Lego
I've been reading through the Bible with Ean but there are some parts we have to skip over either because they are a little over his head or not exactly the most entertaining passage. Then I came across this. Wish they would cover everything, but it is pretty …

Supermodel - Model Church
Don't you love the fact I forget to post and then go back and post posts as if they were written when the post should have been written? I'm sure that habit makes real bloggers the web over cringe. Anyway, great start to the new series and i'm excited about the coming …

Digital Mirror Display?
Can I get one of these for my house?
Better yet, can I get a large one to put on stage? Seriously, how much more intersting would Sunday sermons be with this tol to use for visual aids.
How else could something like this be used?

- Those in authority have authority so listen when they speak (v. 2)
- But authority does not equal leadership if …
Obama or McCain or...
I've been wanting to write some of my thoughts on all this political mess for sometime. I ran across this blog and could only read a couple of posts before my eyes were starting to stick the top of my head so I had to move on and hope the taste of the puke in my mouth …

Performance vs. Worship: PART I
A comment on a previous post the other day prompted me try and tackle this subject (as if I have all the answers). I've wrestled with this question on a number of occasions to almost always find myself right back where I started.
