Church Growth: Hiring the Right Preacher, Part 2
Just for fun, you know, I thought I’d take a look at the latest Abilene Christian College data on preacher salaries in the Churches of Christ. They gather data each year to help churches know what to pay and preachers … Continue reading
Church Growth: Hiring the Right Preacher, Part 1
Let me start by saying that I’m very, very happy with our preacher. This is a post for churches looking to hire a preacher — and for Christian college presidents — and for churches who already have an excellent preacher. … Continue reading
Church Growth: Introduction
I’ve been reading Beyond Megachurch Myths by Scott Thumma and Dave Travis. I was flipping through the channels, looking for something appropriately manly, like ESPN, and saw Thumma speaking on CPAN2 about his new book. He had a lot of … Continue reading
Communion Meditation: God’s Great Banquet
[This is in contemplation of Thanksgiving Day] On Thanksgiving, we spend time with families and friends enjoying a great meal together. It’s a great time. For me — and I’m sure many others — it’s the best time of year. … Continue reading

What’s Wrong With How We Do Church?: Blue Like Jazz
Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz (2003) is a favorite book of mine. I’m teaching it to a class at church right now and posting my lesson notes as I prepare them here. I was getting ready to try to summarize … Continue reading
What’s Wrong With How We Do Church?: Escaping Our Denial
Let’s start with what the Bible says about what the church is all about. I’ve already quoted Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 saying we’ll be judged by how we treat the poor and needy. The lesson is found in lots … Continue reading
What’s Wrong With How We Do Church?: The Church of Irresistible Influence
As I’ve been pondering the problem the Willow Creek Community Church is struggling with, as described in their Reveal study, I’ve begun reading Robert Lewis’s The Church of Irresistible Influence. I happened across this quote in this 2001 book– We … Continue reading
