Clergy & Laity: Why doesn’t the minister have any friends at church?
As I’ve said before, I’ve never been in full-time ministry. But I’ve hung around ministers and ministers’ kids all my life. And I’ve observed that many ministers struggle to make friends. Think about your home congregation. Who are your preacher’s … Continue reading
The Fork in the Road: On Imperfect Baptisms, Part 7

The Fork in the Road: On Imperfect Baptisms, Part 4.4 (Further on Apollos and the laying on of hands)
Guy said, (1) The Ephesian disciples would know they received the Spirit because when Paul laid his hands on them, they prophesied and spoke in tongues. That’s entirely true, but it’s not the only way to know whether someone has … Continue reading
