“Tell Me a Beautiful Lie”
I thought some of you might enjoy this website. My oldest son is working on a musical based on the Russian Civil War. The story wrestles with some questions important to Christians. The music is, I think, incredible. But you … Continue reading
Retrospective: On 11 Months of Blogging
Well, it’s been nearly 11 months now since the blog started. I was barely aware of what a blog is (still not quite sure), but friends kept pestering me to put my writings on the internet. I figured I’d post … Continue reading
Merry Christmas

Preview
Well, the pagan New Year’s Day is approaching, and so it’s time for year-end kind of stuff, like this preview. I’ll be working on the Church Growth series based on Beyond Megachurch Myths for the next several posts. After that, … Continue reading

Church Growth: Getting the Elders Out of the Way, Part 5
To even consider adopting such an approach, an eldership should consider at least the following: Ministers should help develop policy. While policy is from the owner (Jesus), through the elders, to the staff, it just won’t work unless the minister … Continue reading
